It’s especially poignant that Broadway can’t even dim its lights in his memory, since there are no lights to dim at the moment.

Goodbye my love.
God bless you.
And i suppose,
Bless america, too.
You have places to discover,
Oceans to conquer,
You need to know
I'll be there at the window
While you go on your way.
I accept that.
But, what of the people
Who stay where they're out,
Planted like flowers
With roots underfoot.
I know some of those people
Have hearts that would rather
Go journeying
On the sea.
Tell me,
What of the people
Whose boudaries chafe,
Who marry so bravely
And end up so safe.
Tell me how to be someone
Whose heart can explore
While still staying here.
Let this be the year
We both travel...
Goodbye, my love
Journey on.

Here’s an 80th birthday celebration of McNally that took place at the 92nd Street Y in New York last fall. It includes a talk with McNally, Nathan Lane, Christine Baranski, Lynn Ahrens, and Jeff Kaufman (who directed a documentary about McNally called “Every Act of Life” that was apparently screened before the talk), as well as brief performances of a couple of scenes from his plays.

And here’s an interview with him that Primary Stages, an off-Broadway theater company, conducted in 2017 as part of an off-Broadway oral history project.
