>wow thats cool it looks like a whole different street.<
Not really. The theatre's facade looks the same. The parking garage is still there and the Herald Tribune building on the far right of the photo is still there. Only the hotel on the far left side of the photo looks different.
Compare that photo above with this one of the street as it looks now.
Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.

Anyway, here was the marquee for Wind in the Willows at the Nederlander.

When it was the Billy Rose Theatre the marquee used plastics like all the other marquees, but was shaped and placed like the one for Winesburg, Ohio. The Nederlanders acquired the theatre and named it the Trafalgar for two shows and that is when the current backlit marquee was installed.
The new marquee can be seen better since there were a lot of canopies and other things blocking the view of the old one from 7th Avenue.
