The venue, located at 138 West 48th Street, will honor Jones, who has the rare distinction of having won an Emmy, a Grammy, and Oscar and a Tony.
The renaming follows a $47 million restoration and expansion project at the 110-year-old theater, which is owned by the Shubert Organization.
Jones has performed in 21 Broadway shows and is also known for his voice work as Mufasa in "The Lion King" and "Darth Vader" in the "Star Wars" franchise. The move comes less than a year after a wide Broadway coalition of theater owners, producers, union leaders, creators and casting directors hammered out a series of reforms and commitments for the theater industry to ensure equity, diversity, inclusion and accessibility.
