Obviously Sondheim - I had to hide in the bathroom as my theatre-tolerant husband wouldn't have understood.
But also Paul Ritter's death really got to me. Such a talented and versatile actor.

Most recently, Barry Cryer. Such a huge influence on my silly sense of humour, and, by all accounts, a really lovely and generous chap. I'm so glad I got to see him on stage, both as his own show and as part of the ISIHAC team. I like to think he'd have been amused at me crying publicly in a bathroom shop which is where I was when it came on the news.
The first person I ever cried about was Dusty Springfield, I'd loved her music since I first heard her when I was around 5 years old. It was 2 days after my 17th birthday, I was alone in the house, I'd turned on the radio and it was on the 5pm news, and I just sat at the dining table and cried.
Other mentions go to Terry Pratchett, Victoria Wood, Kirsty MacColl, Tim-Brooke-Taylor, Jeremy Hardy, and Adam Schlesinger (songwriter with Fountains of Wayne, but had written for film, TV and the Tony's too).
I guess I'm quite soppy.

I didn't cry but was very upset when I heard about Lynda Baron. Auntie Mabel and Pippin flying in their spotty plane in Come Outside were a huge part of my childhood
