About
The James Earl Jones Theatre is open for performances, fitting into a Broadway night out. This historic venue, originally the Cort Theatre, has been a Broadway staple since 1912. It's the only surviving legitimate theatre on Broadway designed by Thomas Lamb, with a classic French-inspired exterior and Louis XVI-era interior details. The lobby features Pavanozza marble and Marie Antoinette plasterwork.
The theater sits in Times Square, near Broadway and Sixth Avenue. Its former name paid tribute to early 20th-century producer John Cort. The venue was renamed in 2022 for legendary actor James Earl Jones. You'll find free wifi inside. Make time to explore the area, including the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) just a short walk away.
