NEW YORK (AP) — Broadway theaters 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 7:45 p.m. Nichols died Wednesday at 83. He won directing Tonys seven times and won twice for producing.
He also will be honored by Lincoln Center, which on Thursday will broadcast a special message on its digital posters dotted along West 65th Street in Manhattan from 7:45 p.m.-8 p.m. Nichols directed Lillian Hellman's "The Little Foxes" and Samuel Beckett's "Waiting for Godot" at Lincoln Center.
