St. James Theatre (New York). Although it is large (over 1,600 seats) and has two balconies, the beloved playhouse on West 44th Street feels intimate, and both artists and patrons have long favored it for musicals. It was designed in a simple but elegant Georgian style by the architectural firm Warren and Whetmore with interiors by John Aingraldi. The house was built in 1927 by theatre mogul Abraham
Erlanger, who named it Erlanger's Theatre. From the start it was a popular playhouse, yet it went through a succession of owners over the decades and today is
Jujamcyn property. Among the musical classics to open there were
Oklahoma! (1943),
The King and I (1951),
Hello, Dolly! (1964), and
The Producers (2001). In 1932 Erlanger's was renamed the St. James Theatre after a revered playhouse in London.
