James Earl Jones Theatre

Thomas W. Lamb built it for producer John Cort in 1912, and it carried the Cort name for 110 years before the Shubert Organization renamed it in 2022. The 1,084 seats sit across three levels; Peg o' My Heart opened the house and The Magic Show holds its longest run. Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York) is the current booking.
