Shubert Theatre is a popular Broadway theater that hosts a variety of popular plays and musicals with a world-class stage and production standards. It also hosted the Tony Awards a few times in the '70s and '80s. You'll easily notice the building thanks to its Venetian Renaissance-style facade.

This theater is appropriate for anyone interested in live performances, though there is some content that parents may find unsuitable for their kids. Check out the shows beforehand to determine if there's any content you find inappropriate. Most shows last about 2 or 3 hours.

Good to know when visiting Shubert Theatre

When you're looking for a seat at Shubert Theatre, you'll want to consider the differences between each section. The orchestra location is the most accessible without any steps, and it provides the best views. The mezzanine location is up 2 flights of stairs, while the balcony location is on the 3rd level.

There are no elevators or escalators in the theater, so mobility-impaired patrons will be restricted to the orchestra section. Additionally, the restroom is not wheelchair accessible, so keep that in mind when planning your visit. The closest accessible restroom is at Sardi's across the street on the 4th floor accessible via elevator.
