Broadway theatres plan to dim their marquee lights Friday night in memory of Mike Nichols, a nine-time Tony Award winner whose work onstage ranged from the silly Monty Python’s Spamalot to the heartbreaking Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman.
The Broadway League says the lights will be dimmed for one minute at 7.45pm. Nichols died Wednesday at 83. He won directing Tonys seven times and won twice for producing.
He also will be honoured by Lincoln Center, which on Thursday will broadcast a special message on its digital posters dotted along West 65th Street in Manhattan from 7.45pm-8pm. Nichols directed Lillian Hellman’s The Little Foxes and Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot at Lincoln Center.
