James Earl Jones, the vocal talent behind Mfasa from The Lion King will be getting a longtime Broadway theater named after him.
Broadway's Cort Theatre will be re-named the James Earl Jones Theatre when it re-opens following extensive renovations later this year. The change, made by The Shubert Organization in recognition of Jones' long Broadway career, will establish the theatre as the second in Broadway history to be named for a person of color. A formal dedication ceremony is planned for when the theatre reopens later this year.
