Broadway's theater owners, initially criticized for dimming lights at fewer than one-third of theaters for Gavin Creel, have decided to dim all theaters in his honor.
The lights-dimming ritual is fraught with difficulties, as it's up to a small group of landlords who evaluate a theatermaker's contribution to decide who deserves recognition.
Public pressure has caused theater owners to reassess their decisions about dimming lights for less universally known individuals, leading to inconsistencies and back-and-forth decisions.
The Broadway League confirmed lights will dim for other notable figures like Maggie Smith and Adrian Bailey, reflecting a shift towards honoring a broader range of artists.
