Time Out says

In 1928, Lee and J.J. Shubert built this 1,058-seat and named it after Ethel Barrymore, part of the renowned Barrymore acting dynasty. Since then, it has been home to work by Cole Porter, Noel Coward, Rodgers and Hart, and many others. According to the Shubert Organization, the Herbert Krapp–designed exterior was "modeled on the public baths in Rome, with a two-story terra-cotta grillwork screen. The interior decor combines Elizabethan, Mediterranean and Adamsesque styles." Recently, film star Geoffrey Rush headlined a daring revival of the absurdist classic, Exit the King.

  • Drama

It's been nearly two decades since Michael Stuhlbarg, one of the great stage actors of his generation, last trod Broadway's boards (in The Pillowman). The vehicle for his overdue return is a modern-modern history play by Peter Morgan (The Crown) that depicts the machinations of Russia's oligarchs in the power vaccuum that followed the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991. Stuhlbarg plays billionaire Boris Berezovsky in a transfer of Rupert Goold's hit London production; Will Keen (as Vladimir Putin) and Luke Thallon (as Roman Abramovich) reprise their acclaimed performances in that version.
