Kellie Dickerson lost her battle with Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) – a rare neurodegenerative disorder which she was diagnosed three years ago.
The 53-year-old’s death was confirmed by her talent agency Working Management on Tuesday, January 9 in a statement on Instagram.
“Vale our gorgeous Kellie. It was both a joy and honour to be your friend and agent. You gave so much to so many. A true icon of the industry. Your energy, kindness and talent were boundless. You never gave up the fight, humour, grace or Wordle. Much love to Broady, Toni, John and family. Rest in Peace Kel. You are loved and missed always”
Dickerson was diagnosed with multiple system atrophy (MSA) in 2020 after suffering from symptoms such as low blood pressure and slurred speech in 2018.
MSA is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects different parts of the brain, impacting certain systems in the body, such as the motor and nervous systems.
These systems control blood pressure, heart rate, balance, and muscle movement and there is no cure.
Following her diagnosis, she retired from the theatre in 2020. As her condition worsened, she moved back to her hometown of Dubbo, NSW, to find solace and care with her parents.
Born in Australia, Dickerson began her career in musical theatre as a pianist on The Phantom of the Opera and Miss Saigon.
She later worked as associate musical director on Beauty and the Beast, The Sound of Music, and The Wizard of Oz, before taking on the role of musical director on Wicked and Legally Blonde.
Dickerson was behind some of the biggest productions including, The Book of Mormon and Charlie and The Chocolate Factory.
In 2022 Dickerson was awarded an OAM for service to the performing arts industry.
In a tribute, a fan wrote; “Rest in peace darling Kellie and fly high beautiful lady – MSA is the cruelest of neurological diseases -I know full well as this is the same disease that took my sister’s life away. Now you can be reunited with darling Rob. Much love to your beautiful parents, Toni and John who cared so wonderfully for you. I am so very sad”
Another penned: “Vale Kellie Dickerson. A sad loss to our MT industry but more than that, she was a beautiful, generous and nurturing human being who will be missed by all. Be at peace Kellie, you can rest now.” Kellie’s condition shares symptoms with Parkinson’s disease and tragically, has no cure”
