James Earl Jones Theater (Broadway) History

The James Earl Jones Theatre- formerly known as the Cort Theatre- was built by and named for John Cort, general manager of the Northwestern Theatrical Association, a theatre circuit centered in Seattle with playhouses scattered throughout the western US and British Columbia. A fugitive from a vaudeville comedy team called Cort and Murphy, Cort moved from performing to management in the 1890s. The Shuberts acquired the theatre in 1927, two years before Cort's death. The James Earl Jones Theatre is the only surviving, still active, legitimate theatre on Broadway designed by Thomas Lamb. Its classic exterior was inspired by the 18th century French Petit Trianon at Versailles. Architecture from the period of Louis XVI also inspired the interior. The lobby is constructed of Pavanozza marble with panels of Marie Antoinette plasterwork. The proscenium arch was constructed in perforated plaster treated with art glass that could be lit during performances; this arch still exists but is not operational today. In 2022 the Schubert Organization announced the name-change for legendary EGOT winner James Earl Jones.

The 2010 revival of Fences starring Denzel Washington and Viola Davis holds the James Earl Jones Theatre box office record! The production grossed $1,175,626 over eight performances, for the week ending July 11, 2010. The show went on to win 2010 Tony Awards for Best Revival of a Play, Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Play for Denzel Washington, Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Play for Viola Davis, and was nominated for 7 other Tony Awards, including Best Performance by a Featured Actor in a Play, Best Direction of a Play, Best Original Score, Best Scenic Design in a Play, Best Costume Design in a Play, Best Lighting Design in a Play, and Best Sound Design in a Play.
