About the Stage 42
Stage 42 in New York is one of the city's largest Off-Broadway theaters. It is just a few seats shy of attaining Broadway status (theaters must have a capacity of 500 or above to qualify) and not far off the size of the smallest Broadway venue, the Hayes Theater. The popular performance space has been a mainstay of the Big Apple's entertainment scene since the early Noughties, giving a new lease of life to shows that have taken their final bow on Broadway, and hosting exciting new work.
Formerly the Little Shubert Theatre until 2015, Stage 42 was built by the Shubert Organization in 2002 as part of a new residential tower on West 42nd Street’s Theatre Row. It was the first new theater built in New York by the organization since the Ethel Barrymore Theatre in 1928, and the first Off-Broadway venue added to their portfolio.
Stage 42 was designed by architect Hugh Hardy and combines the best of Broadway and Off-Broadway. Visitors can admire a blend of exposed infrastructural features and warm design, alongside reproductions from the Shubert Archive art collection in the lobby.
Acclaimed productions at Stage 42 include Fiddler on the Roof in Yiddish, comedy show Potted Potter and a revival of Kinky Boots.
