Musician - David Evanoff David was awarded the Tony in 1985 for his advanced fx work, devising the chandler drop in Phantom of the Opera. Unfortunately the award was revoked in 1986 when he dropped it in Le Mis. His appreciation goes out to his first wife Patty LuPone for removing the restraining order. A big hug to his current wife Carole Channing, as at 96 a big hug is all she can handle.
