A vital piece of historical information is the account book of Philip Henslowe, usually called Henslowe's Diary. In it he lists the performances at the theatres he owned, his advances to the playwrights he sponsored, loans to actors, recipes, and all kinds of interesting information. Unfortunately, Henslowe's book is the only record of its kind, and only has to do with the theatrical companies who he was associated with, particularly The Admiral's Men. Shakespeare had very little to do with The Admiral's Men, so we don't hear about Shakespeare's plays much. In fact, we have no performance records at all of Romeo and Juliet; if we did, we would have an easier time trying to guess when it was written. All we have is the statement when the play was first published in 1597 that it had been "often (with great applause) played publicly" which shows it was popular but is not specific enough to enable to guess how many times or how big the crowds were at the Curtain or Theatre where it was presumably performed.
10 million people watched shakesperae's plays
Scholars think they could fit as many as 3000 in the Globe.
It depends what you mean by "Shakespeare's theatre". Do you mean the theatre which was built in 1996 and is called Shakespeare's Globe Theatre? Or do you mean the theatre company which he joined, the Lord Chamberlain's Men, which was founded in 1594? Or do you mean the tradition of Elizabethan theatre of which Shakespeare was a part, which started in about 1560? It could be any one.
In London. It is called Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, it is in almost the same location as the original and it is as close to the 1599 theatre as it is possible to get and still be within modern fire and building codes. For example, they are not allowed to pack 3000 people into it as they could in Shakespeare's day, and there are bathrooms for the convenience of patrons.
There were over 1500 people and the Globe Theatre was outdoors. Some say it could hold as many as 3000 people but a lot of them would not have been seated. The standing room seats were quite popular.
Shakespeare's Globe Theatre will sell a maximum of 700 tickets to groundlings. The number of tickets sold is limited, not by space, but by fire regulation. They could pack a lot more into that space, and in Shakespeare's day, when they had no fire regulations, they did.
It didn't have a roof, it could be called an open-air theatre, yes.
Well, it could be Shakespeare

What theatre are you thinking of as "shakespeare's theatre"? Because Shakespeare did not own even a part of any theatre in 1592. Nor did he own even a part of any theatrical company. In fact he may not have even been a permanent member of any theatrical company at that time. There was nothing you could call "shakespeare's theatre" in 1592.

Not the globe theatre; it was built long after Shakespeare was an established playwright and actor. We cannot be sure what theatre he first appeared in because we don't even know what company he was with. It could have been at an early theatre such as The Theatre, or even in an innyard adapted as a theatre, such as the Bell Savage.

You could get to the Globe Theatre or any of the other Southwark theatres from London by boat, or across London Bridge by walking, riding or in a carriage. However, a boat would not help you if you wanted to go to the Blackfriars Theatre, or the Curtain Theatre, or the Theatre Playhouse, all of which Shakespeare performed in, because these theatres were all on the same side of the River Thames as the City of London. You could walk or ride to these from a number of directions.
When it first opened the Globe Theatre could hold about 3,000 people.
The Globe Theatre is located in London. Google Images provides many pictures of the Globe Theatre. Shakespeare's Globe and the Globe Theatre website also provide pictures of the Globe Theatre.
They loved his plays and sonnet and if they were rich enough, they went and saw them although you could get in free but you had to stand or sit on the hard, cold, cdamp floor of the theatre.
