The Cort is the only surviving, still active, legitimate theater designed by Thomas Lamb. Its classic exterior was inspired by the 18th-century French Petit Trianon at Versailles. Architecture from the period of Louis XVI also inspired the interior. The theater currently shows A View from the Bridge, starring Liev Schreiber and Scarlett Johansson.
