Our deepest sympathy goes to family, friends and fans of Lindsay Thomas, who lost her battle with cancer at age 31 this week.  Lindsay played Francine (Frankie’s daughter) and other roles in the original cast of Jersey Boys in Toronto.  She was also well known to Stratford audiences, having spent three seasons there.  She played Ado Annie opposite Kyle Blair’s Will Parker in Oklahoma! in 2007.  She was wonderful as the girl who “cain’t say no”.   In 2008, she was Gracie Shinn in The Music Man.  Lindsay was a graduate of Sheridan College’s Music Theatre Performance program.  A non-smoker, Lindsay was diagnosed with lung cancer.  It is so sad to lose someone so young, with so much talent and so much potential.
