A part of the megalithic Shubert Organization, the Broadhurst Theatre sits astride W. 44th Street near the Majestic and Nokia theaters. George H. Broadhurst, the Anglo-American manager and playwright (1866-1952), built his eponymous theater in association with the Shubert brothers. Broadhurst had previously managed theaters in Milwaukee, Baltimore, and San Francisco (and written many popular plays). The playhouse has remained one of the Shubert Organization's most consistently booked theaters.
