| Stage 42 (aka the Little Shubert) is close to the subway station at 10th Avenue/41st Street that was supposed to have been built as part of the extension of the #7 train to Hudson Yards, but was eliminated from the extension project to save money. The subway extension that was actually built allows for future construction of the station, but it's not in any official plans and is unlikely to be built in the near future. It's too bad that the station doesn't exist, as it would be very useful not only for the off-Broadway theaters in far west Midtown, but also for the large residential community near the station. | |

| It would have made the Signature Theater an easy evening venue for Seniors (and others) -- I have to wait for the East Bound M42 to Second Ave, then the downtown buses. A cold tiresome trip in Feb at 10:30 pm. Even the Wed mat would be easy with that Stop. I was so excited when it was proposed and, as with most of politics, disappointed. I have found a pleasant route when you have the time ---- get to the highline -- walk North to Hudson Square -- dine, shop, loiter. Then walk to Lincoln Center, the Signature, etc. Or take the 7 to Times Square and the 1 (or another) to Lincoln Center, Winter Garden, etc. | |
