Loew's Jersey Theatre, Opened in 1929, Reopens After Restoration With Grand Re-Opening Weekend on November 13 and 14
In Jersey City, New Jersey, the Loew's Jersey Theatre at 54 Journal Square has reopened after an extensive restoration, with a Grand Re-Opening Weekend on November 13 and 14: the Trey Anastasio Band played the first major event on November 13, followed by The War On Drugs on November 14.
Designed by theater architects Rapp and Rapp, the Loew's Jersey opened on September 28, 1929, as one of the five famed Wonder Theatres, with 3,021 seats. The restored venue holds approximately 2,600 seated guests or 4,000 standing, making it Jersey City's largest entertainment venue. The theatre was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2022.
The revitalization is a collaboration between the Jersey City Redevelopment Agency, the State of New Jersey and NJEDA, and Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment. The work covers the exterior facades, all public spaces, stage and support spaces, and upgrades to mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems, with the restoration reported at about $130 million. Hudson County invested a further $1.78 million through its Open Space Trust Fund for safety improvements, historic preservation and restoration of the facade.
At a ribbon-cutting on November 9, Jersey City Mayor James Solomon said the theatre was built for the city in 1929 and is reopening its doors to the city in 2026. The theatre has previewed the return of elements including the front lobby chandelier, the organ and movie screens in 2027. It sits directly across from the Journal Square Transportation Center, with access by PATH train and New Jersey Transit.
