Deadline: Broadway officially welcomed The James Earl Jones Theatre to its ranks yesterday, as the 110-year-old and much-renovated former Cort Theatre was renamed in a dedication ceremony attended by Samuel L. Jackson, LaTanya Richardson Jackson, Brian Stokes Mitchell, Norm Lewis and New York City Mayor Eric Adams.

I was unaware that a theatre on Broadway was going to be renamed and am so glad that it was. The James Earl Jones theatre has just been renovated and was restored and expanded, and so I am excited to see a show in this newly renovated theatre next time I go to Broadway to see a show. Not only that but the ceremony seems like a lovely celebration for all that James Earl Jones has done for the theatre and film industries. Even though he did not personally attend the ceremony, this article states how the ceremony was very well received and was a perfect way to celebrate the renaming and the legacy of James Earl Jones. I am so excited to see this theatre in New York and can’t wait for a moment in the future when I can go and visit NYC again.
