A fitting honor that coincided with American Airlines discontinuing its sponsorship for naming rights.

Well deserved! A man who helped bring Roundabout to where it is as a theatre company today! I'm sure he is looking down on this proud and honored!

A heartwarming and well-deserved honor. I know it's been in the works since last year, I wonder if he knew of the plans. Would've been lovely to see this dedication.

I was also wondering if he might have known. Hope so.

At least it's more organic than the forced renaming of a theater for Lena Horne.  (Start throwing those brickbats now.)

Aw love, use your right finger to show us where your hatred burns.

My understanding of this situation from speaking with those in the know is: American Airlines declined to renew sponsorship, Todd was sick for quite a while with a bleak future, the plan for renaming it for Todd was put in place in 2022, and everything Roundabout did was run through Todd. So it’s safe to say he knew.
