The 'Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre' is a legitimate Broadway theatre located at 242 West 45th Street in midtown-Manhattan.
Designed by architect Herbert J. Krapp, it opened as the Royale Theatre on January 11 1927 with a musical entitled ''Piggy''. John Golden leased and renamed the theatre for himself from 1932 to 1937, when the Shubert Organization assumed ownership and leased the theater to CBS Radio until 1940, when it was restored to its original use and name. On May 9 2005, it was renamed for longtime Shubert Organization president Bernard B. Jacobs.
