Robin Williams to be honored when Broadway theaters dim their lights Wednesday night

[IMG][/IMG]

The lights along the Great White Way will go dark Wednesday night in honor of Robin Williams.

Broadway theaters across Midtown will dim the lights on their marquees for one minute at 7:45 p.m. to pay homage to the Oscar-winning actor two days after his shocking death.

Though best known as a comedian and movie star, Williams debuted on Broadway three years ago as the leading man in the drama "Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo."

He also appeared in the off-Broadway production of "Waiting for Godot," starring with Steve Martin in Mike Nichols' 1988 version of the Samuel Beckett classic.

5. At least. She was a major Broadway star. She won two Best Actress Tony Awards, for Applause and

for Woman of the Year. She also starred in Goodbye Charlie and in Cactus Flower. Bacall was awarded the Sarah Siddons award twice for her work in theater, particularly in Chicago. A movie star like no other, a stage artist like no other.

6. I really hope so.It would a real slap in the face if he gets

one but not Bacall.

2. The lights of Hollywood's Chinese Theater went dark last night in memory of both Williams and Bacall

It was only the eighth time in its history that was done.

7. Saw "Bengal Tiger" on Brodway a few years ago

He was excellent in it, both as an alive man and as a dead man.

8. Robin Williams' death leaves a big hole in our world.

For so many decades he sheltered us and used his humor to provide relief from the things that get us down. It was like he protected us from falling into a deep funk in our personal lives. Now that he's gone, the world feels more serious and less happier.
