The Venue – A Broadway-sized space perfect for the most ambitious productions, the Shubert impresses the way any larger-than-life theater should, with ornate decor, spacious balconies, and a solid marble lobby. Amenities include mid-sized restrooms (with the men's anteroom detailed like a ship's cabin), a drinking fountain on the east side of the lobby foyer, good sight lines from the balconies, and a candy and drink bar in the inner lobby and souvenir stand in the outer one. – – The Shows – They alternate Broadway plays ("Tallulah" with Kathleen Turner, "Barrymore"…
