St. James Theatre

Named after London's famed St James Theatre, this Broadway theater has been home to many classics like The King and I starring Yul Brynner, and Hello Dolly. With a seating capacity for more than 1600 people, this venue has had a tumultuous history and has survived multiple changes of ownership. But these upheavals have not had any effect on the quality of productions it stages. Mel Brooks' staggeringly successful play, The Producers has been played at this theater to full houses; American Idiot is one of the more recent long-runners.
