In 1929, the Loew’s Jersey Theatre opened to host legends like Frank Sinatra; nearly a century later, the historic landmark reopens as a 4,000-seat concert venue just 10 minutes from Wall Street

New Yorkers, the wait is officially over. The historic Loew’s Jersey Theatre is finally ready for its next act.
