The Loew’s Jersey Theatre in Jersey City will reopen in the fall.
After undergoing an extensive restoration, the ornately decorated Loew’s Jersey Theatre in Jersey City will reopen this fall, with three shows already announced. Derek Hough’s “Dance for the Holidays,” on Dec. 8, went on sale last week, and two concerts will go on sale this week: Shyne with Barrington Levy and Lil’ Cease, on Nov. 6; and Joedeci, on Nov. 18. Tickets are being sold through ticketmaster.com.
It has not been announced if the Shyne show will be the first, or if earlier shows will be added.
According to a press release that came out earlier this year, “The restoration includes rehabilitation of the theatre’s historic interiors and exteriors, modernization of mechanical and production infrastructure, upgrades to public and backstage areas, and the addition of other premium spaces. The renovated venue will accommodate a flexible capacity of 2,600 to 4,000 guests, enabling a wide range of live events.
“Upon its expected opening in Fall 2026, the theatre is expected to host approximately 150 events annually, in addition to at least 70 dates for public programming, contributing to the cultural and economic revitalization of the Journal Square District.”
The theater is nearly 100 years old, having originally opened in 1929.
