The Shubert Theatre, named after Sam S. Shubert and built by Henry B. Herts in 1913. The first show to play at the Shubert was Shakespeare's Hamlet. Barbra Streisand starred in I Can Get It for You Wholesale here and Katharine Hepburn starred in The Philadelphia Story here; however, the Shubert is probably best-known as the home of A Chorus Line. With 6,137 performances under the Shubert's roof, A Chorus Line was the longest-running of all Broadway musicals, until it was surpassed by Cats, having staged its final performance on 28th April 1990. The interior of the Shubert Theatre was restored in 1996.

The Shubert Theatre is currently the home for the Broadway production of Spamalot. Other musicals which have premiered at The Shubert include Cole Porter's The Gay Divorcee, Rodgers and Hart's Pal Joey and the Sherman Brothers' Over Here!. The stage doors of the Shubert Theatre and those of the Booth Theatre both open onto Shubert Alley, which runs behind these theatres and due to its location has long been a favourite haunt for aspiring Broadway actors—who hope that someone connected with one of these hallowed theaters might spot them and offer them a role.
