Not all Elizabethan Theatres were round, although the most famous ones were. These included the Theatre, Curtain, Rose, Globe, Swan and Hope. The reason for the round shape is the same as the reason it is used when building sports stadia--to have all of the audience the same distance from the action. In square theatres (like the Red Bull and Fortune) the seats in the corners would have had a poorer view.
