Broadway’s Broadhurst Theatre To Dim Lights For Tony-Winning Linda Lavin
The lights of the Broadhurst Theatre will dim on Tuesday, March 11 at 6:45 pm/ET in Lavin's honor.
Though Lavin also appeared in feature films, her career on the big screen was not as celebrated as either her stage or TV credits. She was not included in the Oscars In Memoriam segment Sunday night, to the consternation of fans expressing disappointment on social media. The so-called “partial” or “select” dimmings – occasionally controversial – were initiated in recent decades as a way of broadening the scope of honorees beyond the more obvious “superstar” deaths such as Stephen Sondheim or Chita Rivera or James Earl Jones who typically receive dimmings from all Broadway venues.
