Shubert Alley is a small alley near Times Square in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. It links West 44th Street to West 45th Street. The alley was created by the west wall of Booth Theatre and Shubert Theatre, at 222 and 225 West 45th Street respectively. This was there aspiring actors used to hang around, hoping for a chance to be cast in a play at the nearby Shubert Theatre.

Shubert Alley, along with Shubert Theatre, was named after Baron Sam S. Shubert. It was at Shubert Theatre that A Chorus Line was showing until 1990, for a record 6,137 performances.

On the 44th Street end of Shubert Alley is the St James Theatre. This was where Rodgers and Hammerstein made their debut with the musical Oklahoma in 1941, and then The King and I. At the other end of the alley Irving Berlin staged The Music Box Revue in 1921.

Stars in the Alley is a free annual outdoor concert that is performed at Shubert Alley during the Tony Awards presentation week. Featuring performances and celebrity guest appearances, it offers fans an up-close and personal view of Tony nominees of the year.

How to reach Shubert Alley
