    Rebecca sang with a God- given voice but with complete honesty. She always had to feel the emotion of the character to let her voice soar.
    I was fortunate to have been her friend and vocal coach from Phantom through Sound of Music. For the latter we presented her as an alto, We also rehearsed soprano keys, higher than Julie Andrews. At the audition we pretended spontaneity and she wowed them. I wss always in love with Rebecca's voice then later fell in love with the person. So didthe audience.

      @@therealistjim Miss Luker rose her voice to every occasion. She once said she felt obligated because her voice became stronger, yet made it easier to sing irregardless of monetary benefits.
      She was an amazing sight singer who had perfect pitch.

    As always Spiderwoman you have the right posting for the right moment. When I think of her I will always think of her here and with that smile that literally lit the stage in Showboat. It’s a day like today that brings a somber reminder that this can be the happiest and yet the saddest times of year for so many. My thoughts and prayers are with Danny and her two boys, and as always Spiderwoman-thank you for the touch of class you give RUclips...

    From husband DANNY BURSTEIN:
    “This is a text I just got from Jessica Molaskey.
    Thanks, Jess. It means the world to me. “
    “There are no words. Only love right now for you and your family and our dear theater family. I don’t remember seeing the whole
    Broadway community so gutted by a loss. Not ever. I guess because Becca seemed so other worldly, so born of a place that mere mortals only dream of. So full of light and genius. Yes genius when she opened her mouth. The music and love that poured out of her shining soul shall live forever. In a different time we would all gather on this Christmas Eve and hug you and drink something and sit shiva for your “shiska goddess” and remember stories. I can think of a story about 26 years ago when a troupe of actors went out to dinner in Southern California. We were a large loud table tucked in a corner of a restaurant. Someone, maybe it was our dear George, threw down the gauntlet to tell the dirtiest joke. I might have known one safe one. The winner of the evening was Becca who told joke after filthy joke until our stomachs hurt from laughing so hard. The jokes were somehow funnier coming out of that angelic human. I think she knew it.
    The bottom line is we were better for knowing her. I guess that’s the whole point of this mysterious life. Leaving the joint a better place than before you got there. She sure did that. I know you have battalions of wonderful souls who love you. Just want to let you know that if you ever need a shoulder I’m here day or night. Who sleeps these days anyway. I love you.
    Xoxoxo Molaskey.
    I was privileged to see & hear “Ms. Luker’s angelic voice” as Lily in THE SECRET GARDEN at the Saint James Theatre in 1991 & as Maria Von Trapp in the 1998 revival of THE SOUND OF MUSIC at the Martin Beck Theatre in NYC.
    When I said earlier that we lost a lot of people this year...we indeed lost a LOT. We also recently lost NICK CORDERO (Bullets Over Broadway), MARIN MAZZIE (Kiss Me Kate, Passion, Ragtime) and ANNE REINKING (All That Jazz, Annie, Fosse). Broadway just got darker. R.I.P. to ALL WE LOST THIS YEAR.
    I shed a tear for those who left us. So gutted...and destroyed watching Ms. Luker perform, proving once again the LOSS we have is great and irreplaceable. Ugh. 2020 can’t get over any sooner for me. It’s just too much....TOO MUCH.
