Shubert Theatre (New York). Officially the Sam S. Shubert Theatre, the famous West 44th Street playhouse was named after the Shuberts' eldest brother, who got them started in show business. It was designed by Henry B.
Herts in the Venetian Renaissance style to be the flagship of the growing Shubert empire. Its structure (with the attached
Booth Theatre) stretches a full city block and includes offices above and
Shubert Alley below. The theatre opened in 1917 and quickly established itself as a favorite musical house. Its longest tenants have been
A Chorus Line (1975) and the 1996 revival of
Chicago.
