The Shubert Theatre is a Broadway theatre located at 225 West 44th Street in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. Designed by architect Henry Beaumont Herts, it was named after Sam S. Shubert, the second oldest of the three brothers of the theatrical producing family. It shares a Venetian Renaissance facade with the adjoining Booth Theatre, which was constructed at the same time, although the two have distinctly different interiors. The two theatres are connected by a private road/sidewalk, "Shubert Alley". It opened on 21 October 1913 with the George Bernard Shaw play, ''Caesar and Cleopatra'', staged by the Forbes-Robertson Repertory Company. 〔("Whimsical History by English Players" ), ''New York Times'', October 21, 1913〕 The theatre's longest tenant was ''A Chorus Line'', which ran for 6,137 performances from 1975 to 1990 and set the record for longest running show in Broadway history. Later long runs have included ''Crazy for You'' (1992–1996), ''Chicago'' (1996–present, transferred in 2003 to the Ambassador Theatre), ''Spamalot'' (2005–2009) and ''Memphis'' (2009–2012). The theatre has also been a returning venue for the Tony Awards. The top floor of the building houses the offices of the Shubert Organization. The theatre's auditorium and murals were restored in 1996. It has been designated a New York City landmark. ==Notable productions== *1914: ''To-Night's the Night'' *1917: ''Love o' Mike'' *1917: ''Maytime'' *1933: ''Gay Divorce'' *1934: ''Dodsworth'' *1936: ''Idiot's Delight'' *1937: ''Babes in Arms'' *1939: ''The Philadelphia Story'' *1941: ''Pal Joey'' *1942: ''By Jupiter'' *1944: ''Bloomer Girl'' *1947: ''High Button Shoes'' *1950: ''Kiss Me, Kate'' *1951: ''Paint Your Wagon'' *1953: ''Can-Can'' *1955: ''The D'Oyly Carte Opera Company'' *1956: ''Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?''; ''The Pajama Game''; ''Bells Are Ringing'' *1959 ''Take Me Along'' *1961: ''Bye Bye Birdie'' *1962: ''I Can Get It for You Wholesale''; ''Stop the World - I Want to Get Off'' *1963: ''Here's Love'' *1964: ''Oliver!'' *1965: ''The Roar of the Greasepaint - The Smell of the Crowd'' *1966: ''Wait Until Dark''; ''The Apple Tree'' *1968: ''Golden Rainbow''; ''Promises, Promises'' *1972: ''The Creation of the World and Other Business'' *1973: ''A Little Night Music''; ''The Sunshine Boys'' *1974: ''Over Here!'' *1975: ''Seascape'' *1975: ''The Constant Wife'' *1975: ''A Chorus Line'' *1990: ''Buddy - The Buddy Holly Story'' *1992: ''Crazy for You'' *1996: ''Big'' *1996: ''Chicago'' *2003: ''Gypsy'' *2005: ''Spamalot'' *2009: ''Blithe Spirit''; ''Memphis'' *2013: ''Matilda the Musical 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shubert Theatre (New York City)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
