In 1973, the company the Shubert brothers founded was reorganized as The Shubert Organization under the direction of Gerald Schoenfeld, Chairman, and Bernard B. Jacobs, President. Today, the Shubert Organization owns and/or operates seventeen Broadway theatres — Ambassador, Barrymore, Belasco, Booth, Broadhurst, Broadway, Golden, Imperial, Bernard B. Jacobs (formerly Royale), James Earl Jones (formerly Cort), Longacre, Lyceum, Majestic, Music Box, Gerald Schoenfeld (formerly Plymouth), Shubert, and Winter Garden; six off-Broadway venues — New World Stages (Stages 1-5) and Stage 42; and two theatres outside New York – The Shubert, Boston and The Forrest, Philadelphia.
With the passing of Bernie (in 1996) and Jerry (in 2008), as Jacobs and Schoenfeld were affectionately known by friends and colleagues alike, The Shubert Organization entered a new era. Philip J. Smith, who had worked for the company for over 50 years, assumed the role of Chairman and Co-CEO, while Robert E. Wankel, who had been with Shubert since 1975, served as President and Co-CEO. When Smith retired in June 2020, Wankel became Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Jeff Daniel, who joined the Organization as Chief Strategy Officer in 2023, was appointed President in 2025.
