About

Since its opening on January 24, 1910, the Shubert Theater has enjoyed a rich history of world premieres and memorable performances. Originally a stage for Shakespeare’s plays, the theatre evolved as an ideal venue for pre-Broadway tryouts, presenting classics like The King and I, South Pacific, Camelot, and Mame. These productions brought with them legendary performers including Sir John Gielgud, John Barrymore, Richard Burton, Mary Martin, and Julie Andrews. After the opening of The Taming of the Shrew in 1910, its first production, The Boston Globe reported, "The portion of the public, which has been fortunate enough to secure tickets, will be privileged to see and enjoy one of the coziest and daintiest playhouses in the country. It is indeed a gem and Boston has reason to be proud."
