History was made on Broadway.

The iconic Cort Theatre has officially been renamed the James Earl Jones Theatre, honoring one of the greatest actors of all time. James Earl Jones made his Broadway debut on this very stage in 1958, and decades later, his legacy now lives permanently in the heart of New York’s theater district.

At 91 years old, the EGOT-winning legend was celebrated during a powerful, star-studded ceremony with tributes from Samuel L. Jackson, NYC Mayor Eric Adams, and leaders from the arts community. Following a $47 million renovation, the theater now stands renewed — not just in design, but in meaning.

This milestone makes the James Earl Jones Theatre only the second Broadway venue named after a Black artist, alongside the August Wilson Theatre. A reminder that talent, perseverance, and impact never fade.

This isn’t just a name change.
It’s Broadway honoring history while inspiring the future.
