As has been noted below, it will be darker than it usually is when the lights are dimmed because of the loss of this theatrical luminary.

Of course. If Brantley had written, "with the passing of Mike Nichols, the Broadway theater district will be even darker than it usually is," THAT would have been an expression of contempt. But he never would have written that. He very clearly referenced the the traditional, honorary dimming of the lights, which makes a very different point.
