All of Broadway’s marquees will dim to honour the life of Gavin Creel following an outcry by theatre fans when only a partial dimming was proposed after the 48-year-old Tony Award-winner’s death last month.

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.
