I saw that last month and was thinking "Didn't that close already?" 

And I also think the Stephen Sondheim theatre still has the Henry Miller's Theatre name on it as well.

The Les Mis plaque was installed around the Broadway 10th Anniversary on March 10, 1997.

Last time I looked, the Daddy Long Legs poster was finally gone.

(i.e. "The Little Mermaid" marquee that is still up between the Lunt and the American Eagle on 46th Street).

My friend and I just went to look for it. It's not there. We looked all over the alley. Maybe it came down when Charlie moved in.

Yes it is. I literally showed a friend it 5 mins ago because it was fresh in my head from this post. It's a little hard to see. You have to be facing the side of the Lunt-Fontanne (on the sidewalk with the back of the American Eagle store on your right) and look way up to the top of the building. It's not a huge marquee but it's definitely there

So I went back today but this time, I stood across the street by the Marquis and looked for it..and then it's right there. LOLOL A bigger than I expected. It was a lot harder to see when right under it - when you don't know where to look.  Now it's like, how did I miss that one?  Thanks for the heads up.

Ok this is a good one. Underneath every poster in Shubert Alley are original posters of shows from the 80's and early 90's. 

If you are there at 8am on a Monday morning after the September or January closing blood bath... you will see them change the posters in Shubert Alley. It brings a lot of joy to my heart to see those glorious posters underneath; including one of Vanessa Williams in Kiss of the Spider Woman, Miss Saigon, Les Mis, Cats, A Chorus Line etc.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Fidler On the Roof revival poster that has been painted over in black outside the Minskoff theatre. It's still there, and you can still see it in the alley of the Minskoff close to what is now the Playstation theatre.

Also... there is still signage up for SILENCE: THE MUSICAL outside the Times Square Arts Center. It's been years and all of that signage is still up. I really loved that musical.
