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

The Fear of 13

Two-time Oscar winner Adrien Brody (The Brutalist) reprises his 2024 London performance as Nick Yarris, a Pennsylvania man who spent more than 20 years on Death Row before getting exonerated by DNA evidence, in a biodrama by Lindsey Ferrentino, based on David Sington's 2015 documentary. (Ferrentino's other recent documentary adaptation, The Queen of Versailles, is no longer with us.) The estimable and prolific David Cromer (Bug) directs the NYC production, which marks Brody's Broadway debut as well as that of his co-star, screen star Tessa Thompson (Hedda).
