Time Out says

Master architect Herbert J. Krapp designed the Jacobs (formerly the Royale) in the “modern Spanish style.” The theatre's interior features a groin-vaulted ceiling supported on either side by archways decorated with two murals titled "Lovers of Spain," by Willy Pogany. The interior color scheme is cardinal red, orange and gold. It seats 1,078 and opened in 1927. Show highlights include The Entertainer (1958), Night of the Iguana (1961), Lend Me a Tenor (1989), Art (1998) and Copenhagen (2000).

The Outsiders

  • Musicals
  • Open run

Greaser's the word for the young Tulsa toughs in this musical adaptation of S.E. Hinton's seminal 1967 young-adult novel and Francis Ford Coppola's 1982 film version of it. Music supervisor Justin Levine (Moulin Rouge!) also cowrote the script with Adam Rapp (Red Light Winter) and the score with the folk duo Jamestown Revival. Like Coppola's movie—which launched the careers of C. Thomas Howell, Tom Cruise, Patrick Swayze, Ralph Macchio, Rob Lowe, Matt Dillon and Emilio Estevez—the stage production, directed by Danya Taymor (Pass Over), features a cast of unfamous actors, mostly in their Broadway debuts.
