Miller Theater (formerly the Sam S. Shubert Theatre and then the Merriam Theater) is a theater within the Avenue of the Arts cultural district of the Center City district in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States.
It is Philadelphia's most continuous location for touring Broadway shows. It is located at 250 South Broad Street. The theatre was built by The Shubert Organization in 1918.
In 1972, the theater came under the ownership of the Academy of Music, and was owned by the University of the Arts. In November 2016, it was purchased by the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts, now The Philadelphia Orchestra and Ensemble Arts, and later renamed the Miller Theater.
