Broadway Theaters to Dim Lights in Memory of Four-Time Tony-Winning Actress Zoe Caldwell

The Broadway League has announced that marquee lights of all Broadway venues will be dimmed for one minute on February 28 at 7:45pm in memory of veteran actress Zoe Caldwell. The Tony-winning star passed away on February 16.

"Zoe Caldwell was indisputably Broadway royalty with four Tony Awards and four decades of thrilling performances in work ranging from Tennessee Williams to Euripides to Terrence McNally. Her audiences were struck by her elegance, her strength and the penetrating timbre of her extraordinary voice. But those of us lucky enough to have worked with her—whether on stage or in one of her rare film roles—likely equally remember her kindness and beaming smile. She was a great star and a great woman," said Thomas Schumacher, chairman of The Broadway League.

Caldwell won Tony Awards for her performances in Slapstick Tragedy, The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, Medea and Master Class. Her credits also include The Devils, The Creation of the World and Other Business, Dance of Death, An Almost Perfect Person, Lillian, Macbeth and Park Your Car in Harvard Yard.
