The St. James Theatre, originally Erlanger's Theatre, is a

New York City landmarks
.

The facade is made largely of stucco, except for the ground story, which is clad in cast stone above a granite water table. The ground story has several recessed openings to the lobby, auditorium, and upper-story offices. Above that are two marquees and a double-story cast-iron loggia, masking the fire escapes from the auditorium. The top story contains windows from the offices there. The auditorium is decorated largely with murals and ornamental plasterwork. The theater has a sloped orchestra level, two balcony levels, and a flat ceiling with a carved sounding board. The first balcony level contains box seats near the front of the auditorium, above which are murals. In addition, there are several lounges and passageways throughout the theater.

Erlanger had proposed a theater on the site as early as 1921, but two proposals failed to materialize. Erlanger's Theatre opened on September 26, 1927, with the musical The Merry Malones. Erlanger died in 1930, and the theater then passed to Lodewick Vroom in 1932; Vroom renamed it after St James's Theatre in London. The Shubert family acquired the St. James in 1941 but were forced to sell it in 1956 following an antitrust suit. William L. McKnight bought the theater and renovated it in 1958, with Jujamcyn taking over the venue's operation. The theater was further renovated in 1985, 1999, and 2016. The theater has housed several long-running musicals in its history, including original productions of Oklahoma!, The King and I, Hello, Dolly!, The Who's Tommy, and The Producers.

Site

The St. James Theatre is on 246 West 44th Street, on the south sidewalk between Eighth Avenue and Seventh Avenue, near Times Square in the Theater District of Midtown Manhattan in New York City.[3][4] The land lot is nearly rectangular, with a protrusion on the eastern end. The lot covers 12,858 square feet (1,194.5 m2), with a frontage of 124.5 feet (37.9 m) on 44th Street and a depth of 100.42 feet (31 m).[4]

The St. James Theatre shares the city block with the

former Hotel Carter, Todd Haimes Theatre, and Lyric Theatre to the south.[4] The St. James was developed on the site of several old three-story row houses.[5] There were six residences, each with a brownstone front.[6] The original Sardi's restaurant was one of the buildings that was razed to make way for the St. James.[7]

Design

The St. James Theatre was designed by

Thompson–Starrett Co.[11] The St. James is operated by Jujamcyn Theaters.[12][13]

Facade

The

facade is symmetrically arranged and is shorter than its width.[10] In general, the facade is plain in design.[14] The facade is made largely of stucco.[14][15] The ground story is clad in cast stone above a granite water table. Part of the eastern wall is also visible from the street and is clad in stucco over brick.[16] The St. James has a relatively simple facade, in contrast to nearby theaters like the Hayes or Shubert, but similar to the Majestic and Broadhurst.[5] This led The New York Times to call it "probably the least ornate of all the theatres recently added to the Times Square district".[17][18]

The ground story has numerous recessed doorways.

band course runs above the base.[19]

The 44th Street facade has quoins at the extreme west and east ends on the upper stories.[19] The center of the facade has a projecting double-height loggia of wrought iron, which conceals the fire escape.[5][9][14] The bottom of the loggia contains stone panels, beneath which is a metal base that curves onto the marquee below it. The loggia has three arches are separated by Ionic-style columns. The arches contain wrought-iron grilles, above which are cartouches flanked by foliate decoration. The spandrels above the arches' corners contain wrought-iron foliate decoration and winged animals. A wrought-iron frieze runs above the loggia, and finials are placed on the loggia's roof. On either side of the loggia are two vertical signs with the letters "St. James", which face west and east. These signs have corbels at their bottoms and lanterns on top.[19] At the time of the theater's construction, one observer said that the blank facade was "most appropriate" for the backdrop of an electric sign.[17][20]

The attic has five rectangular windows between two circular windows.[5] Three of the rectangular windows have decorative surrounds that are scrolled at the bottom and eared at the top; they alternate with the other two windows, which have no surrounds. The two circular windows contain surrounds with foliate ornament. The attic is topped by a frieze with circular bellflower decorations, vertical niches, and masks depicting comedy and tragedy. Above that is the cornice, which is simple in design. The cornice, frieze, and quoins are also visible on the eastern wall (facing the Hayes Theater).[19]

Auditorium

The auditorium has an orchestra level, two balconies,

proscenium arch. The space is designed with plaster decorations in relief, as well as paintings designed to resemble reliefs.[21] Playbill cites the theater as having 1,684 seats,[12] while The Broadway League cites 1,709 seats.[13] Originally, Erlanger's Theatre had 1,600 seats, a comparatively large capacity as the theater was primarily meant to host musicals.[22] The presence of two balconies ran counter to most other theatrical designs of the time, which only had one balcony.[14]

Unlike similar Broadway theaters, the St. James's interior was designed in a simple style without much plasterwork. One contemporary publication described the auditorium as having a "residential rather than theatrical" character.[23] The lack of plasterwork contrasts with the ornate plaster decorations in theaters developed by the Shubert family,[14] as well as those designed by Herbert J. Krapp.[24] Instead, Warren and Wetmore placed emphasis on the interior layout and color scheme.[24][23] As designed, the theater had coral-colored surfaces with antique gold highlights.[9][15] The interior design scheme was overseen by John B. Smeraldi.[9][23] One source described the walls as being "marble and plaster finished in coral lacquer and gold", while the chairs had coral tapestries with gold and blue highlights.[15] After a 1958 renovation, the interior was decorated in charcoal and gold.[25][26]

Seating areas

The orchestra level is wheelchair-accessible via the main doors,[27] and it contains the theater's wheelchair-accessible restrooms.[12][27] The rear or western end of the orchestra contains a shallow promenade. A stair with ornate metal railings leads up from the orchestra promenade to the balcony level. The orchestra level is raked, sloping down toward an orchestra pit in front of the stage,[21] which can fit 40 people.[15] The orchestra's side walls were originally designed to resemble ashlar blocks.[24] The current configuration of the orchestra level dates to a renovation in 1958, during which the orchestra's rear wall was relocated, enlarging the lobby and shrinking the promenade.[28]

The balcony levels can only be accessed by steps.[27] The first balcony level (also known as the mezzanine) is raked and is divided into front and rear sections by an aisle halfway across its depth.[29] The first balcony is much deeper than in similar theaters,[15] reaching over what originally was the tenth row of orchestra seats.[20][24] The second balcony is also raked but is recessed.[15][29] The front of the mezzanine level is curved outward, with molded decorations, and connects with the boxes on either side. An entablature runs near the top of the auditorium, starting from the front of the second balcony level and extending above the boxes and proscenium arch. The undersides of the balcony levels are simple in design and made of plaster.[30] The fronts of both balcony levels have light boxes, and the second balcony also has a technical booth on its rear wall.[31] The side walls were originally designed with murals,[9][24] which were painted by Paul Arndt and depicted romantic themes.[15] The murals were covered up during subsequent modifications to the theater.[26][32]

On either side of the proscenium is a curved wall section with one box at the mezzanine level.[29] Originally, one of the boxes was known as the President's box, while the other was called the Governor's box.[15][24] The fronts of the boxes curve outward and contain plaster moldings.[21] Beside each box are pilasters, which support the entablature above the boxes. There are oval niches on the walls in front of each box, which have busts depicting women.[30] There are also golden urns behind the boxes, next to the mezzanine seating.[24] Draperies were originally hung above the boxes, but they were removed in subsequent renovations.[14] Also above the boxes are lunettes with murals.[24]

Other design features

Next to the boxes is the proscenium, which contains a flat-arched opening surrounded by an elliptical arch. The top corners of the proscenium opening are concave, protruding slightly inward.[29] The proscenium opening is surrounded by an ovolo molding.[30] A mural is placed above the flat-arched opening, beneath the elliptical arch. It shows cupids playing golf while Satan stands amid a "ruined temple of love".[15] The proscenium's original curtain was made of asbestos and was designed by Smeraldi.[9][23] On either side of the flat arch, there are depictions of court jesters pulling the curtains open.[15]

A

coffered ceiling.[30] The ceiling itself is flat, curving downward toward the rear of the second balcony.[29] The center of the ceiling has a plasterwork centerpiece, containing motifs of instruments and swags, as well as a hanging chandelier.[30] The centerpiece is surrounded by grilles, which originally served as ventilation openings.[15][30]

Other interior spaces

The lobby, to the west of the orchestra promenade, extends across the width of the auditorium. The lobby is divided into outer and inner sections, with the box office in the lobby's outer section.[9][15] The lobby's inner section originally contained a 17th-century Flemish tapestry on the west wall and a green-and-white marble table, which were the only furnishings in the room. The inner lobby had black-and-white terrazzo marble tiles surrounded by a band of black marble and black-and-white squares. The room also had gray-stone walls with black-and-gold marble decorations, as well as a polychrome-and-gold ceiling with lights. Three black-and-gold marble doorways led to the auditorium. The south portion of the inner lobby had a gray marble staircase with a polychrome-and-gold balustrade and an ebony-wood railing.[15] The lobby was enlarged and modified during a 1958 renovation.[28]

The theater was designed with a ladies' lounge in the basement and a men's lounge on the mezzanine.[33] The ladies' lounge had Adam style decorations and a rose-and-gold color scheme; it included a marble shelf with a mirror, as well as ceiling vents. The mezzanine lounge had a gray-green color scheme and was indirectly lit by lamps hidden behind silk curtains. The lounge was 50 feet (15 m) long and was connected with restrooms, telephone booths, and a writing room via a gray-green corridor. Additionally, a men's club room was placed in the basement and was decorated in a Tudor style, with a large fireplace and plaster walls.[15]

Backstage, the dressing rooms could accommodate 150 cast members; the stars had their own suites with baths. The musicians had their own quarters, which connected to the orchestra pit.[15] Jujamcyn Theaters' corporate offices are also at 246 West 44th Street, the St. James Theatre building.[34][35]

History

Times Square became the epicenter for large-scale theater productions between 1900 and

the Great Depression.[36] At the beginning of the 20th century, Erlanger was a founding member of the Theatrical Syndicate, and he worked with Marc Klaw to run Klaw and Erlanger, the predominant theatrical booking agency in the United States. They developed two major theaters on nearby 42nd Street: the still-extant New Amsterdam Theatre and the no-longer-operational Liberty Theatre.[37] Klaw and Erlanger continued to work together until a dispute in 1919.[37][38] Soon after the breakup, Erlanger began planning a dozen theaters in the U.S., including three in New York City.[39]

Development and early years

Seen from the east

Erlanger proposed his first new theater in New York City in 1921,

Shubert brothers, another major theatrical syndicate, and with Klaw.[40] At the time, the Shubert brothers' theaters were generally designed by Herbert J. Krapp, while Klaw's were designed by Eugene De Rosa; both Krapp and De Rosa were experienced theater architects.[45] By contrast, while Warren and Wetmore were well known for designing houses, hotels, and office buildings, as well as collaborating on the design of Grand Central Terminal and the surrounding Terminal City building complex, they had never previously designed a theater.[46] It is unknown why Erlanger hired the firm to design his theater.[5]

The plans were completed in 1922.[40] Erlanger made an agreement that December to instead develop the theater for revues, specifically for vaudeville duo Bernard and Collier; in exchange, the pair would not perform outside New York City.[47][48] That plan also failed for unknown reasons.[5] Finally, in February 1926, Erlanger announced a third proposal: a two-balcony, 1,600-seat venue named Erlanger's Theatre, which would cost $1 million and be comparable in size to the New Amsterdam Theatre. Warren and Wetmore were still associated with the project.[6][33]

By May 1927, the theater was reportedly ready for A. L. Erlanger to inspect.

Mansfield Theatre.[53][58] The other runs of 1929 included Murray Anderson's Almanac[59][60] and Ladies of the Jury.[59][61]

A. L. Erlanger died in March 1930, and his estate continued to operate the theater.[62] In that year, Erlanger's Theatre hosted a revival of The Rivals,[59][63] followed by the popular musical Fine and Dandy,[50][64] the latter of which had 246 performances.[59][65] In 1931, the Civic Light Opera Company leased the Erlanger for Gilbert and Sullivan productions.[66][67] The theatrical company occupied the Erlanger for the next year,[67] presenting a variety of operettas from Gilbert and Sullivan and from other writers.[68] After A. L. Erlanger's estate failed to pay rent,[69] ownership of the theater reverted to the Astor family, the owners of the underlying land.[70][71]

Vroom operation

In July 1932,

Bea Lillie;[78] it ran for 121 performances.[79][80] The St. James hosted another season of Gilbert and Sullivan productions in 1933,[77] also presented by the Civic Light Opera Company.[68][81] The Ballets Russes de Monte-Carlo opened at the St. James in December 1933,[82][83] staying through April 1934[82][b] with performers including Irina Baronova, Léonide Massine, and Tamara Toumanova.[85] This was the Ballets Russes' last performance in the U.S. for fifty years.[86] Clark and McCullough reappeared in the 1935 revue Thumbs Up!,[77][87] which had 156 performances.[79][88] Also successful was the operetta May Wine in 1935,[89][90] which stayed for 212 performances.[79][88]

The

King Henry IV, Part 1 with Evans and Edmond O'Brien,[105][106] which stayed for 74 performances.[103][107]

In January 1940, the St. James hosted that year's version of

microphones for amplification.[110] Evans returned that April, reviving the production of Richard II from three years earlier.[111][112] That November, the St. James hosted another Shakespeare production: Twelfth Night with Evans, Wesley Addy, Helen Hayes, Sophie Stewart, and June Walker.[113][114] This was followed the next March by Paul Green and Richard Wright's Native Son,[115][116] which was not as successful as previous shows, with 114 performances.[117][118]

Shubert operation

Without Love with Audrey Christie, Katharine Hepburn, and Elliott Nugent.[110][125][126] The Theater Guild, which had seen little success with their shows to date,[110] premiered Rodgers and Hammerstein's first musical, Oklahoma!, at the St. James in March 1943.[127][128] Vincent Astor sold the theater to the Shuberts later the same year.[129] With over 2,200 performances[c] through 1948,[134][132] Oklahoma! saved the Theatre Guild from bankruptcy[133][135] and became known as a Rodgers and Hammerstein masterpiece.[135]

Frank Loesser's Where's Charley? opened at the St. James in 1948,[136][137] ultimately seeing 762 performances over two years.[134][138] Where's Charley? closed to make way for another musical, Peter Pan, which had been forced to relocate from the Imperial Theatre.[139][140] This was followed by yet another set of Gilbert and Sullivan shows, this time performed by the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company.[141][142] Later that year, the St. James premiered the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical The King and I,[136][143] which ran for 1,246 performances over three years.[134][144] George Abbott's The Pajama Game was the next show to premiere at the St. James, opening in 1954[115][145] and running for 1,061 performances.[117][146] In 1956, the Johnny Mercer musical Li'l Abner opened,[115][147] and ran for 693 performances.[117][148]

Jujamcyn operation

Side view of the loggia

By the 1950s, the Shuberts operated nearly half of all legitimate theaters in New York City, prompting the U.S. federal government to file an

Minnesota Mining & Manufacturing president William L. McKnight and theatrical executive Samuel H. Schwartz agreed to buy the St. James for $1.75 million in cash.[153][154] Schwartz was subsequently appointed president of the Jujamcyn Corporation, an entity formed to operate the theater.[155] Li'l Abner continued to run during this time.[153]

1950s to 1970s

McKnight spent $600,000 to restore the St. James during three months in 1958.

Becket, with Laurence Olivier and Anthony Quinn,[161][162][163] and the Betty Comden/Adolph Green/Jule Styne musical Do Re Mi, with Nancy Walker and Phil Silvers.[161][164][165] Another Comden/Green/Styne musical arrived in 1961: Subways Are for Sleeping, featuring Orson Bean, Sydney Chaplin, Carol Lawrence, and Phyllis Newman.[161][166][167]

Further modifications to the St. James were made in 1962.

Two Gentlemen of Verona,[178][179] featuring Raul Julia, Clifton Davis, and Jonelle Allen for 613 performances.[170][180]

For much of the mid-1970s, the St. James hosted short-lived revivals.

Filumena.[196]

1980s and 1990s

Marquee

The musical Barnum premiered in 1980, starring Jim Dale with music by Michael Stewart, Cy Coleman, and Mark Bramble;[178][197] it had 854 performances over the next two years.[198][199][200] The next show was the 1982 revue Rock 'N Roll! The First 5,000 Years, which flopped after a week.[201][202] Following this was another long run, the musical My One and Only, which opened in 1983[178][203] and ran for 767 performances.[198][204] The stage floor and traps were replaced after My One and Only's run ended. In July 1985, Jujamcyn announced a $1.5 million renovation for the theater.[205] The changes, executed by Total Concept,[206] included a new marquee, seats, draperies, and carpets, as well as a repainted auditorium and new electrical wiring.[205][206] Due to the relatively small budget and the project's eighteen-week schedule, the lighting was not changed; additionally, some of the original details could not be restored.[206] The theater reopened in December 1985 with the revue Jerry's Girls,[207] which lasted four months.[208][209] Afterward, the long-running musical 42nd Street transferred from the Majestic in 1987,[210] extending its run for two years.[211][212] The St. James's last shows of the decade were Bill Irwin's play Largely New York[213][214] and a revival of the musical Gypsy with Tyne Daly in 1989.[215] The latter ran for more than a year.[216]

The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) had started to consider protecting the St. James as a landmark in 1982,[217] with discussions continuing over the next several years.[218] The LPC designated the St. James's facade and interior as a landmark on December 15, 1987.[219] This was part of the commission's wide-ranging effort in 1987 to grant landmark status to Broadway theaters.[220] The New York City Board of Estimate ratified the designations in March 1988.[221] Jujamcyn, the Nederlanders, and the Shuberts collectively sued the LPC in June 1988 to overturn the landmark designations of 22 theaters, including the St. James, on the merit that the designations severely limited the extent to which the theaters could be modified.[222] The lawsuit was escalated to the New York Supreme Court and the Supreme Court of the United States, but these designations were ultimately upheld in 1992.[223]

The musical The Secret Garden, starring Daisy Eagan and Mandy Patinkin, opened in 1991[224][225] and ran for 706 performances over two years.[226][227] This was followed in 1993 by The Who's Tommy,[228][229] which also ran for two years, accumulating 900 performances.[230][231] The next production was supposed to be the musical Busker Alley in 1995, for which LeRoy Neiman painted a 40-foot-tall (12 m) mural on the theater's facade.[232] The musical's Broadway run was canceled after its star Tommy Tune broke his foot, and the mural was painted over.[233] The Stephen Sondheim musical A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum was revived in 1996[234] and ultimately ran for 715 performances.[235][236] This was followed by a limited engagement by singer Patti LaBelle in January 1998,[237][238] as well as a 98-performance run of the musical High Society the same year.[239][240] The St. James underwent a $3 million, eight-month renovation,[241] conducted by EverGreene Architectural Arts.[242] When the theater reopened in 1999, it hosted a short run of the musical The Civil War[243][244][245] and a year-long run of the dance revue Swing!.[246][247]

2000s and 2010s

Seen in 2006, during the run of The Producers

Swing! closed in January 2001

Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas!,[255][256] which opened one day before the start of the 2007 Broadway stagehand strike; a New York Supreme Court judge ruled that forced to keep operating during the strike.[257] The St. James then hosted a revival of Gypsy in 2008, featuring Patti LuPone, Laura Benanti, and Boyd Gaines.[258][259]

In 2009, Roth acquired a 50 percent stake in Jujamcyn and assumed full operation of the firm when Landesman joined the National Endowments of the Arts.

Bring It On: The Musical in 2012; Barry Manilow's concert and Let It Be in 2013; and Bullets Over Broadway and Side Show in 2014.[12][13] Part of the stage-left portion of the theater was demolished to accommodate the set for Bullets Over Broadway.[266]

Something Rotten! opened in 2015[267] and ran for a year and a half.[268] A revival of the play Present Laughter was then hosted in 2017.[269][270] After Second Stage Theater bought the adjacent Hayes Theater in 2016, Roth approached Second Stage about the possibility of simultaneously renovating both theaters.[266] Second Stage sold the alley between the theaters to Jujamcyn, which extended the St. James's stage 10 feet (3.0 m) eastward into the alley.[271][272] The stage expansion was completed for the Disney musical Frozen,[273][274] which opened in March 2018.[275][276] Frozen achieved the box office record for the St. James Theatre,[277] grossing $2,624,495 over eight performances for the week ending December 30, 2018.[278]

2020s to present

On March 12, 2020, the theater was temporarily closed due to the

David Byrne's American Utopia opened later the same year and ran until early 2022.[285] This was followed in July 2022 by a limited run of the musical Into the Woods,[286] which was extended through January 2023.[287] Jujamcyn and Ambassador Theatre Group agreed to merge in early 2023; the combined company would operate seven Broadway theaters, including the St. James.[288][289] New York, New York, Kander and Ebb's musical adaptation of the film New York, New York, opened at the theater in April 2023, running for three months.[290][291]

A revival of

Kennedy Center,[292] opened at the theater in November 2023[293][294] and closed after 164 performances.[295] The musical Illinoise is being staged at the theater from April to August 2024.[296] This will be followed by the transfer of the 2023 West End revival of Sunset Boulevard.[297]
