Judging by the over-the-top reactions to this whole issue (by people who probably did not even know the deceased) perhaps it is time to retire or change this tradition like they did with the Roma Robe (although now it sounds like some sort of Masonic ritual).

I? not sure I understand the connection of legacy to the Masons, but it always was a sort of Masonic ritual.

I was on 45th Street, and there was a huge turnout from the Broadway community, and such an outpouring of love. Among the familiar faces in the crowd were Susan Stroman, Victor Garber, Donna Murphy, Tina Landau, Alice Ripley, Terrence McNally, Kathleen Marshall, Karen Ziemba, and many more. And of course Jason Danieley and Marin’s family."
Yes, it was powerfully moving...RIP Marin.

I was on 45th street last night as well and it was profoundly moving to see the fans and members of the theatre community and Marin's family all out paying tribute to her. What a beautiful human being to garner such an outpouring of love.

I am glad they dimmed all of the lights for a Broadway legend.
However, when Kyle Jean-Baptiste died, the Imperial (where Les Mis was playing) dimmed their lights (understandably). With only one theatre doing it, I found it very communal and moving. Personally I would love to see the theatre most associated with the performer be the only one to dim their lights so there was a single place for the community to be together.
Carry on.

Kyle Jean-Baptiste had literally one Broadway credit, and he was performing in that show when he died. Very different circumstances than someone like Mazzie who is a Broadway legend and who doesn't have one particular theatre or role she is "most associated" with.

The tradition (of ALL theatres dimming the lights) has already been changed, and not for the better, imo. Essentially it has been turned into an advertisment instead of a memorial. Let it go back to the tradition it has been for over 50 years.
"Roma robe"? No one ever called it that. It was a Gypsy robe, which is now known to the politically correct as the Legend robe. No one ever called it a Roma robe.
