Millions of Americans who enjoyed the sitcom’s heyday in the ’80s and ’90s remember Malcolm-Jamal Warner as the sweet, hapless teenager Theo Huxtable on “The Cosby Show.”
But this week, Charlotte’s Neighborhood Theatre and many of its loyalists are remembering Warner — who died on Sunday in a drowning accident while on a family vacation in Costa Rica at age 54 — as a musician who co-headlined a string of iconic jazz/hip-hop shows here in 2022.
“We’re saddened to learn of the tragic passing of the great Malcolm-Jamal Warner,” the NoDa venue posted on its Instagram page Monday. “Hosting him here on our stage for We Got The Jazz: A Tribute to the Jazz of A Tribe Called Quest was nothing short of magical every single time. Our hearts go out to his family, friends & all who adored him.”
