The Producer's Perspective Podcast with Ken Davenport

9 - Jordan Roth


Listen Later

Jordan Roth is an American theater producer. He is the president and majority owner of Jujamcyn Theaters in New York City. Roth oversees five Broadway theatres including the St. James, Al Hirschfeld, August Wilson, Eugene O'Neill, and the Walter Kerr.
Theater owners are the curators of Broadway. They are the protectors of the tradition. They guarantee all of our futures. And Jordan Roth, President of Jujamcyn Theaters, takes that responsibility seriously. Listen in to hear . . .
Jordan’s “three bucket challenge” if you want a show in one of his theaters (which seems to be working well, since four of the five Jujamcyn theaters host Tony Award winners for Best Musical).
How coming out affected his choice of a career.
How his first show as a Producer, the interactive The Donkey Show, still stays with him in everything he does.
His simple solution for one of Broadway’s greatest challenges – the lines at the bathroom.
