Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre

The Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre, opened in the heart of the Theater District in 1927, is a historic venue that has been entertaining audiences for over a century. Originally known as the Royale Theatre and the John Golden Theatre, it was renamed in 2005 in honor of Bernard B. Jacobs, the former president of the Shubert Organization. This Broadway theater house can boast both the Spanish style façade and the warm auditorium as New York City landmarks. Wider than it is deep, the auditorium’s seating is spread across the orchestra level, a single balcony and box seating, allowing audience members a better view from all 1,092 seats. Known for showings of hit productions like the musical “Once” and the award-winning “The Outsiders”, catching a performance at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre is a great way to leap into live theater.
