The marquees for all 41 Broadway theatres will be dimmed in honor of Dolly Parton, Tim Curry, Clive Davis and more stars who've recently passed away.
On Wednesday, the Broadway In Memoriam Committee confirmed the list of late honorees. On Tuesday, Sept. 8, the marquees will dim at 6:45 p.m. ET. Gina Ferrall, Josh Grisetti, Jeff Hamlin, Glen Hansard, Louise Lasser, Anna Louizos, Seth Marquette, Anne Russell, James Walsh and Harold Wheeler will also be honored.
In 2025, the Broadway In Memoriam Committee created a quarterly tradition called Broadway in Memoriam to honor individuals who left their mark on the Great White Way. The mass dimming now takes place four times a year on the second Tuesday of September, December, March and June.
Parton wrote the music and lyrics for the 2009 stage adaptation of "9 to 5," which received four Tony Award nominations, including one for her original score. The singer's second show, "Dolly: A True Original Musical" will begin previews Dec. 7 at the St. James Theatre in New York City with an opening set for Jan. 19, 2027, on what would have been her 81st birthday. Parton announced the Broadway engagement in July.
The production will tell her story through some of her biggest hits, including "Jolene," "Coat of Many Colors," "9 to 5" and "I Will Always Love You," alongside new songs she wrote specifically for the musical. Parton co-wrote the show's book with two-time Emmy winner Maria S. Schlatter. Tony winner Bartlett Sher is directing, with "So You Think You Can Dance" and "La La Land" choreographer Mandy Moore choreographing the production.

The UFC on Saturday paid tribute to Allan Nascimento following his death last week.
The MMA community was shocked by the news of Nascimento's untimely death at 34 after an apparent heart attack in his sleep. The longtime member of Brazil's Chute Boxe Academy left behind a wife and two children.
In June, Nascimento had a four-fight winning streak snapped with a split decision loss to Mitch Raposo. Two of his four wins prior to that setback were bonus-winners. Nascimento was a regular training partner and close friend of teammates and fellow UFC fighters including ex-lightweight champion and BMF belt-holder Charles Oliveira, Elves Brener and others.
Watch the UFC's tributes to Nascimento below.

On Aug. 2, Jake and Romy Reiner threw ceremonial first pitches at Dodger Stadium. The children of slain actor Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele, shared their father's love for baseball.
Jake Reiner's Dodgers-focused podcast ("The Incline") is 422 episodes deep. But his ceremonial first pitch Sunday was a first since his parents' death last December.
"The Dodgers have always been a huge part of our family," Reiner wrote on Twitter/X on Aug. 4. "My dad and I could talk baseball for hours and I truly never felt closer to him than when we'd watch games together. Dodger Stadium is a place we'd love to come to as a family. Romy and I wanted to honor our mom and dad by throwing out a ceremonial first pitch for each of them. We're grateful the Dodgers helped make this moment so special."
