Jordan Roth

Jordan Roth (born November 13, 1975) is the President and majority owner of Jujamcyn Theaters, where he oversees five Broadway theatres, including the St. James, Al Hirschfeld, August Wilson, Eugene O'Neill and Walter Kerr. Jujamcyn Theaters presents some of the most influential and successful musicals and plays on Broadway today, currently including the Tony Award-winning Best Musicals The Book of Mormon, A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder, Kinky Boots and Jersey Boys. Roth produced the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning Best Play Clybourne Park.

Roth is the son of Steven Roth, a real estate developer, and Daryl Roth, a New York theater producer. Roth graduated summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from Princeton University with degrees in philosophy and theatre, and received his MBA from Columbia Business School.

At the age of 24, the young producer first introduced interactive theatrical experiences with his 1999 production of The Donkey Show, a disco club event combining elements of both theater and nightlife. Performed in a New York nightclub, The Donkey Show invited audiences to watch the show around them on the dance floor, and then stay after the show to celebrate at the venue. Retelling the story of William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream entirely through disco hits, The Donkey Show became a phenomenon of New York nightlife, hailed by The New York Times as “an indication of things to come in the theatre.” The show ran for six years in New York, and has toured internationally.
