James Earl Jones Theatre

The James Earl Jones Theatre was built by and originally 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 theatre was rechristened the James Earl Jones in 2022 in honor of the celebrated actor who made his Broadway debut at the playhouse in Sunrise at Campobello in 1958

ARCHITECTURE

The Jones is the only surviving, still active, legitimate theatre on Broadway designed by architect 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 was constructed of Pavanozza marble with panels of Marie Antoinette plasterwork. The proscenium arch is composed of perforated plaster treated with art glass that could be lit during performances.

NOW PLAYING

GUTENBERG! THE MUSICAL!

Josh Gad and Andrew Rannells star in Gutenberg! The Musical, a hilarious new musical about an unintentionally hilarious new musical.

In this two-man musical spoof, a pair of aspiring playwrights perform a backers’ audition for their new project - a big, splashy musical about printing press inventor Johann Gutenberg. With an unending supply of enthusiasm, Bud and Doug sing all the songs and play all the parts in their crass historical epic, with the hope that one of the producers in attendance will give them a Broadway contract – fulfilling their ill-advised dreams.

The original stars of The Book of Mormon are together again!

Need we say more? Okay we will! Josh Gad and Andrew Rannells – who became pretty famous on Broadway and then extremely super famous out in Hollywood – are coming back to their musical theater roots, putting on a show together because they just love each other so damn much. And what did they pick? A hilarious new musical from the guys who wrote Beetlejuice and the guy who directed Beetlejuice and Moulin Rouge. It’s the story of two best pals named Bud and Doug who put on a show together because they just love each other so damn much. It’s art imitating life imitating art! And it’s the funniest thing to come to Broadway since 1448! (Which is the year the printing press was invented by Johannes Gutenberg, who is the subject of the musical that Bud and Doug write, but that’s not important right now.)

The venue's initial production was Peg o’ My Heart (1912), starring Laurette Taylor and directed by Oliver Morosco. John Cort’s first production at the theatre was The Princess Pat (1915), an operetta, and the first of only 12 musicals to play here (4 were produced by Cort himself). The longest running musical at this theatre was The Magic Show (1974), which ran 1,920 performances. Three more recent musical productions include Sarafina (1988), Kat and the Kings (1999), and A Year with Frog and Toad (2002).

Early non-musical hits at the Jones gave it the reputation of being a “lucky” house. They include Roi Cooper Megrue’s first big hit, Under Cover (1914), John Drinkwater’s Abraham Lincoln (1919) starring Frank McGlynn, and George S. Kaufman and Marc Connelly’s Merton of the Movies (1922) with Glenn Hunter. The Jones also featured performers such as Ethel Barrymore and Henry Daniell in The Second Mrs. Tanquerray (1924), Judith Anderson in Behold the Bridegroom (1927), and Katharine Hepburn in These Days (1928) --The actress had only a few lines, and the play closed after 8 performances.

During the 1930s and 1940s, the Jones welcomed many classic works. Lillian Gish, Osgood Perkins and Walter Connelly starred in Uncle Vanya (1930), Ruth Gordon in The Three-Cornered Moon (1933), and Lawrence Olivier in The Green Bay Tree (1933). In 1946 The Theatre Guild presented The Winter’s Tale. That same year saw Wesley Addy, Sir Cedric Hardwicke and Marlon Brando featured in Antigone and Candida, produced in repertory. Eva Le Gallienne translated and starred in Ibsen’s Ghosts and Hedda Gabler (1948), and Grace Kelly made her Broadway debut in Strindberg’s The Father (1949).

Among the notable stars and productions of the 1950s and 1960s were Katharine Hepburn and William Prince in As You Like It (1950); Saint Joan (1951) with Uta Hagen; the Pulitzer Prize-winning The Shrike (1952) featuring José Ferrer; Darren McGavin and Geraldine Page in The Rainmaker (1954); The Diary of Anne Frank (1955); Purlie Victorious (1961) with Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee; and Sunday in New York (1961) with Robert Redford. One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest had a short run of only 82 performances at the Jones in 1963, but it bolstered the careers of Kirk Douglas and Gene Wilder. Jane Fonda made her Broadway debut in There Was A Little Girl (1960), and Al Pacino starred in Richard III (1979).

Productions of the 1980s and 1990s include Tennesee Williams’s Clothes for a Summer Hotel (1980), Glenda Jackson and Jessica Tandy in Rose (1981), Zoe Caldwell in Medea (1982), The Grapes of Wrath (1990), Twilight, Los Angeles (1994), Cherry Jones in The Heiress (1995), Wendy Wasserstein’s An American Daughter (1997), John Leguizamo in Freak (1998), and Nicole Kidman in The Blue Room (1998).

In the new century, the Jones hosted the Julie Taymor-directed The Green Bird (2000) and the Carol Burnett-penned Hollywood Arms (2002). It has also been home to a revival of On Golden Pond (2005) with James Earl Jones, Douglas Carter Beane’s comedy The Little Dog Laughed (2006), August Wilson’s final play Radio Golf (2007), Will Ferrell's You're Welcome America (2009), and the revivals of A View from the Bridge (2010) with Liev Schreiber and Scarlett Johansson, and the Tony-Award-winning Fences (2010) with Denzel Washington and Viola Davis. Most recent residents include Time Stands Still (2010) with Laura Linney; Born Yesterday (2011) with Nina Arianda; the Tony-nominated revival of This is Our Youth (2014); Larry David's A Fish in the Dark (2015); the Tony-nominated musical by Steve Martin and Edie Brickell, Bright Star (2016); Paula Vogel’s Tony-winning play, Indecent (2017); a revival of David Henry Hwang’s M. Butterfly (2017) starring Clive Owen and Jin Ha; Mike Birbiglia’s The New One (2018); Shakespeare’s King Lear (2019) featuring Glenda Jackson; and Derren Brown: Secret (2019).

Reviews for "Uncover the Mysteries of Magic at P T Murphy Magic Theater: Entry Passes Now On Sale"

1. John - 1 star

I was extremely disappointed with my experience at P t Murphy Magic Theater. The entry passes were not worth the price at all. The magic acts were lackluster and predictable, and there was no wow factor that I expected from a magic show. The entire performance felt amateurish, and it seemed like the tricks were poorly executed. I would not recommend wasting your money on these entry passes.

2. Emily - 2 stars

I had high hopes for P t Murphy Magic Theater, but unfortunately, it failed to meet my expectations. The entry passes were quite expensive, and I was hoping for a mind-blowing magical experience. However, the show was rather dull and unimpressive. The magicians lacked charisma and stage presence, making it hard to stay engaged throughout the performance. I left feeling underwhelmed and regretful for investing in these entry passes.

3. Mike - 1 star

I attended P t Murphy Magic Theater with my family, and we were all highly disappointed. The entry passes were overpriced for the quality of the show we received. The tricks performed were basic and easily figured out, leaving us feeling like we wasted our money. The venue itself was cramped, and the seating was uncomfortable. The entire experience was underwhelming, and we would not recommend purchasing these entry passes for a magical evening.
