Opened in 1928 and named for actress Ethel Barrymore, who appeared in its first production, The Kingdom of God. It is operated by the Shubert Organization. It is one of the few Broadway houses named for a performer that has kept that name continuously.

Getting there

The house is in the Theater District, within walking distance of the Times Square-42nd Street subway and transit hub.
