Shubert Theatre, Performance venue in Century City, Los Angeles, United States
The Shubert Theatre was a performance venue in Century City with seating for approximately 2100 spectators arranged across multiple levels at 2020 Avenue of the Stars. The building was specifically designed to host large-scale musical productions and featured modern facilities for professional theatrical performances.
The theatre opened on July 22, 1972, with a production of Follies directed by Harold Prince and Michael Bennett. This opening marked the beginning of its long career as a premier venue for Broadway musicals in Los Angeles.
The theatre became a destination for musical theatre fans who came to see major productions like Les Misérables, Cats, and Evita performed on its stage. These shows shaped the cultural identity of the venue and made it a gathering place for audiences seeking Broadway-quality entertainment.
Visitors with mobility needs can take advantage of accessible seating options positioned throughout the theatre to accommodate various requirements. An on-site ticket office offered multiple channels for purchasing entry passes to performances.
The venue became an unexpected host for the 2001 Primetime Emmy Awards after original locations had to change due to September 11 events. This unplanned role made the building an important site in American television history.
