New York - Shubert Alley

Shubert Alley is home to two notable playhouses, the Shubert on 221 West 44th Street and the Booth at 22 West 45th Street. Shubert Alley was the place where aspiring actors lined up hoping to be cast for a part in a play sponsored by theater baron, Sam S. Shubert. The Shubert was the host of "A Chorus Line" for a record 6,137 shows. Further down, the St. James playhouse debuted the musical, "Oklahoma" in 1941. The legendary Sardi's restaurant is the eatery where actors met and waited for their opening night reviews. Irving Berlin staged "The Music Box Revue" at the Music Box Theater in 1921.
