The marquees of Disney’s New Amsterdam Theatre, home of the musical Mary Poppins, along with the Minskoff and Nederlander Theatres, which house Disney Theatrical Productions’ The Lion King and Newsies, will dim this evening at 7:01 in memory of legendary songwriter Robert Sherman, who died yesterday in London at 86.
The same tribute will be paid tonight at the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center in Appleton, WI where the Mary Poppins national tour is playing and tomorrow’s performance of Mary Poppins in Perth, Australia will be dedicated to Sherman.
