Shubert Theatre

South End & Chinatown


With 1600 seats, the Shubert is smaller and more intimate than some of the other Theater District venues, thus earning the moniker ‘Little Princess.' The theater hosts a variety of performing-arts events, including touring Broadway shows, theater, music, dance and opera.
