Chase Mishkin, the Broadway producer whose roster of productions scored two Tony Awards (for Dame Edna: The Royal Tour <\/em>and Memphis<\/em>), died July 24 at her home in Manhattan. She was 85.<\/p>\n

Her death was made public in a New York Times<\/em> obituary today. Mishkin’s daughter Julie Kahle told the newspaper that her mother had dementia and had suffered two strokes.<\/p>\n

Mishkin began her theater producing career just shy of her 60th birthday following the death of her husband, carpet manufacturer Ralph Mishkin. Her first production was a Los Angeles staging of Trish Vradenburg’s The Apple Doesn’t Fall…<\/em>, a drama about Alzheimer’s that opened on Broadway in 1996 with Leonard Nimoy directing.<\/p>\n

Though her first production was not a commercial success, closing the day after opening, Mishkin would return to Broadway more than 30 times, taking part in productions of, among others, The Beauty Queen of Leenane, A Moon for the Misbegotten, Dirty Blonde, Urban Cowboy, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Chita Rivera: A Dancer’s Life, Passing Strange, Equus (starring Daniel Radcliffe) <\/em>and Hands on a Hardbody.<\/em><\/p>\n

In 2000, she was a lead producer of Broadway’s Dame Edna: The Royal Tour,<\/em> which won a Special Tony Award. Her next Tony came in 2010, when Memphis<\/em>, set during the early days of rock and roll, was named Best Musical. Her final Broadway production was 2015’s Doctor Zhivago<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Mishkin’s Off Broadway credits include Moisés Kaufman’s acclaimed 1997 hit Gross Indecency: The Trials of Oscar Wilde<\/em>. She also was a producer of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street In Concert<\/em>, which aired on PBS in 2001.<\/p>\n

In addition to Kahle, Mishkin is survived by daughter Dixie May, stepson Steve Mishkin, and other extended family.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
