St. James Theatre (Broadway) History

The St. James Theatre was originally built in 1927 by the famed producer Abraham L. Erlanger, and designed by Warren and Wetmore, who also designed Grand Central Terminal! Built on the site of the original Sardi's restaurant, the theatre was named The Erlanger Theatre until Erlanger's death in 1930. It was renamed the St. James Theatre by the Astor family, who owned the land on which the theatre was built. The first show to play the St. James Theatre was a show called The Merry Malones, which featured book, music and lyrics by George M. Cohan, who also starred in the leading role!

The St. James Theatre has a rich history, presenting some of the most well-known shows in Broadway history! Shows that have played the St. James theatre include The King and I in 1951; The Pajama Game in 1954; Li'l Abner in 1956; Flower Drum Song in 1958; Hello, Dolly! in 1964; On the Twentieth Century in 1978; Barnum in 1980; The Secret Garden in 1991; The Producers in 2001 and many more!

The longest running show at the St. James Theatre is none other than Hello, Dolly! Hello, Dolly! ran from 1964 to 1970 at the St. James, playing 2,844 performances, which at the time was the longest running musical in Broadway history! Starring Carol Channing in the title role, the show went on to win 10 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Musical, Best Direction of a Musical, Best Choreography and more. This was a record the show held for 37 years, until The Producers came along and beat the record in 2001, winning 12 Tony Awards.
