Broadway To Dim Lights For James Earl Jones
Broadway will dim its lights for the late James Earl Jones this Thursday, September 26, at at 6:45 pm/ET , the Broadway League announced today.
The traditional honor, in which the marquee lights of Broadway venues go dark for one minute, will pay tribute to the two-time Tony-winning actor who died September 9 at the age of 93. He received his first Tony Award a decade late for The Great White Hope, a role he reprised for the 1970 film adaptation. Jones would also star in such stage productions as Fences, The Iceman Cometh, Of Mice and Men, Othello, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and Driving Miss Daisy, among others.
