Description

Designed by architect Thomas Lamb, this circa-1912 Broadway venue features a striking four-columned facade whose exterior draws inspiration from the 18th-century French Petit Trianon at Versailles. Built by John Cort and acquired by the Shuberts in 1927, the playhouse was rechristened in 2022 to honor James Earl Jones, who made his Broadway debut here in 1958.
