Time Out says

With 1,082 seats and a lovely four-column facade, the Jones is one of the few Broadway houses located east of Broadway (or the "wrong side of the tracks," as we like to joke). It was built by West Coast impresario John Cort in 1912, and was named after him until 2022. Notable productions there have included Julie Taymor's The Green Bird, Douglas Carter Beane's The Little Dog Laughed and the revival of August Wilson's Fences, starring Denzel Washington. The venue generally hosts limited-run shows; rarely does it have a long-term tenant.

What’s on

Liberation

The versatile playwright Bess Wohl (Small Mouth Sounds) looks at Ohio women's dreams of liberation in the 1970s in a world premiere directed by Whitney White (Jaja's African Hair Braiding). The production opened Off Broadway at the Roundabout earlier this year, and its original cast of eight—Betsy Aidem, Susannah Flood, Kristolyn Lloyd, Adina Verson, Irene Sofia Lucio, Audrey Corsa, Kayla Davion and Charlie Thurston—won the New York Drama Critics' Circle's inaugural award for Best Ensemble Performance; casting for the Broadway transfer this fall has not yet been announced.
