The Committee of Theatre Owners on Wednesday said all 41 Broadway venues would dim their lights on separate nights for Creel, Adrian Bailey and Dame Maggie Smith. The death of Creel on September 30 put the spotlight on the practice of dimming marquee lights after a notable theatre figure has died. Creel’s death prompted the Committee of Theatre Owners to decide that one theatre from every theatre owner would dim their lights. Creel was a Broadway musical theatre veteran who won a Tony for Hello, Dolly! The date for the dimming tribute for Creel and Dame Maggie has yet to be announced.
