The legends behind the prestigious Broadhurst Theatre are Shubert brothers and George H. Broadhurst. Broadhurst was an Anglo-American manager and playwright who had managed theatres in Milwaukee, Baltimore, and San Francisco.

And what the standard it set! The glorious theatre was opened with a work of great literary legend George Bernard Shaw. It staged Shaw"s "Misalliance" followed by Kaufman"s "Beggar on Horseback."
The Broadhurst Theatre is a supreme example of artistic brilliance. Its exterior with brickwork pattern sets it apart from other theaters in the area. It is built with an oval cartouche over the corner entrance. The interior is as ravishing as the exterior as it uses Greek details for decoration.
