Broadway to Dim Lights in Memory of Paul Newman on October 3

Broadway theater marquees will dim their lights in memory of legendary actor/director Paul Newman, on Friday, October 3 at 8pm, for one minute. Newman passed away following a long bout with cancer on Friday, September 26 at the age of 83.

A trained stage actor, Newman appeared five times on Broadway, including the original productions of William Inge’s Picnic, which earned him a Theatre World Award, and Tennessee Williams’ Sweet Bird of Youth, later appearing in that show’s film version, and returning to the stage in 2004 to play the Stage Manager in James Naughton’s revival of Thornton Wilder’s Our Town, for which he received a Tony Award nomination for Best Actor.
