Shubert Theatre

The Shubert Theatre is the flagship venue of the Shubert Organization, a 1,476-seat house at the heart of the Theater District cluster on West 44th Street. Per the Shubert Organization’s page, the company’s executive offices are in the office and apartment Lee Shubert built above the theatre. The company operates more Broadway theatres than anyone else: 16 of the 38 houses in our theatre list.

The Shubert Organization’s figures spread the seats over three levels: an orchestra (700), a mezzanine (410) two flights up, and a balcony (350) on the third level, 56 steps up from the orchestra, with 16 box seats. In our view, the orchestra and the mezzanine are the levels to compare first, and the balcony is the one to look at in a seat-view photo before you buy. The Shubert is on the same Shubert Alley block as the Booth. The Shubert Organization’s page describes the alley as a private roadway between 44th and 45th Streets that let each theatre occupy a corner lot; in our view, it makes the Shubert one of the easier stage doors on Broadway to find.

Address: 225 W 44th St, on Shubert Alley.
