I think tributes like this are necessary. I think it is important to honor the memory of someone who broke through so many boundaries within their own field. That is why I love seeing traditions like this put into practice. I think it allows the community time to ponder one of the greats. I think things like this allow us to think about our legacies and allows us to look deeply into what we will or want to leave behind. I think it is important to dim the lights on Broadway not only to honor the great ones who have moved on from this world but for ourselves. I think it serves as a beautiful reminder that our time here is not guaranteed and it allows us to refocus, and to rethink what we are really all doing here. Anyway, here is to a lovely tradition, in honor of an excellent performer and artist.
