Seth Gelblum, chair of Loeb & Loeb’s theater practice, died Monday after a long illness. The New York-based partner, who joined the firm in 1998, was 62.
Earlier this year, Gelblum, who spent his legal career representing a broad array of theater industry professionals, was honored as a recipient of the Tony Honors for Excellence in Theatre. The award is given annually to recipients who have made significant contributions to theater, but are not eligible for a traditional Tony Award. Gelblum was the only member of the legal community to ever be honored by the Tonys, according to Loeb & Loeb.
