Broadway to dim lights for Paul Newman
Broadway theatres will dim their lights for one minute on Friday night at curtain time for Paul Newman, who died last week.
The 83-year-old appeared in five Broadway productions, starting in 1953 in William Inge's Picnic. He then appeared in Joseph Hayes' thriller The Desperate Hours, in 1955, followed by Tennessee Williams' Sweet Bird of Youth in 1959.
Newman co-starred with his wife Joanne Woodward in James Costigan's comedy Baby Want a Kiss in 1964.
His last Broadway appearance was as the stage manager in a 2002 revival of Thornton Wilder's Our Town, for which he received a Tony nomination.
