The stunning views of San Francisco are defined not only by the sheer beauty of the surroundings but by the generosity and entrepreneurial spirit of its varied, impassioned people.

Over 30 years ago, Carole Shorenstein Hays and Robert Nederlander founded SHN, San Francisco’s preeminent theatrical entertainment company. For over three decades, SHN’s "Best of Broadway" series has presented pre-Broadway world premieres, original Broadway cast productions, award-winning classics and current hits fresh from Broadway — direct to SHN's historic Curran, Orpheum and Golden Gate Theatres.

DISCOVER BROADWAY IN SAN FRANSISCO

SHN’s growing prominence on the landscape of American theater has elevated San Francisco’s reputation as a Broadway destination and launching pad. Blockbuster hits that spawn multiple companies regularly establish West Coast engagements here. Jersey Boys, The Lion King, and Les Misérables each played for over a year, while The Phantom of the Opera broke records with an unsurpassed five-year run. From Tony Award-winning plays Fences, Doubt and Proof to pre-Broadway premieres of international sensations Mamma Mia!, Baz Luhrman’s La Bohème and Wicked, which recently began a return open-ended engagement at the Orpheum Theatre.

Promising new works get a powerful start on SHN stages, famed for launching national tours of the contemporary rock hit Spring Awakening, the wildly successful Avenue Q and Edward Scissorhands. And, soon every Monty Python fan's dream-come-true, Spamalot will make its West Coast premiere in San Fransisco. SHN is proud to play an incomparable role in dazzling Bay Area audiences with world-class drama, music and spectacle.
