Named after the English-born playwright George H. Broadhurst, the theater opened in 1917 with George Bernard Shaw's Misalliance. It was designed by Herbert J. Krapp and offers 1,115 seats with no obstructed views.
The theater resides next to the Shubert Theatre and is owned by the same organization. As a venue made for musicals and plays, it has handled both with ease through its duration.
