NEW YORK, May 18, 2006 (UPI via COMTEX) -- Broadway producer Cy Feuer, responsible for "Guys and Dolls," "Can-Can" and "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying," has died in New York at age 95.
Feuer died Wednesday at his home of bladder cancer, The New York Times reported.
Feuer and Ernest H. Martin who died in 1995, were known on Broadway as "the King and Cy" for more than a half-century and in later years they produced the film versions of their musicals such as the Oscar-winning "Cabaret" and "A Chorus Line," the Times said.
The duo produced a string of hits between 1950 and 1965 such as "Can-Can," "Silk Stockings," "Little Me," "Where's Charley?" the Tony Award winning "Guys and Dolls" and the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winning musical, "How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying."
Feuer produced a dozen musicals either as part of the duo or alone, his last being Liza Minnelli's "The Act" in 1977. He directed "I Remember Mama" two years later, but it closed after 108 shows.
Feuer is survived by two sons and two grandchildren.
Broadway theaters were set to dim their marquee lights at 8 p.m. Thursday in tribute to the producer.
