The Shubert Organization operates 17 Broadway houses, from the Broadway Theatre (about 1,763 seats) down to the John Golden Theatre (about 800). An operator owns or leases the building and books productions into it; the shows themselves come and go.

Its houses sit on 7 different streets, from West 44th Street to West 53rd Street. Ticketing generally runs through the operator's own box offices and online seller, so the seat maps for these houses look alike.
