Editorial reviews from the web (2)

Stately old theater built in 1852 serves up sense of history along with its big name touring rock and comedy acts. Majestic, old world charm, and the same cramped level of comfort you'd expect from a building built back when people weren't all 300 lbs. Site lines are ok, but unless you're desperate, sitting in the balcony or back rows is a waste of time. No alcohol in theater is a boner, but...

Historic building that once hosted Booker T. Washington now hands its stage over to the likes of Primus and Coldplay.

In Short
It began as the Music Hall in 1852 and served as the original home of the New England Conservatory (Tchaikovsky's first piano concerto debuted here, as did the BSO). Now, fans...

Back in 2010, I had attended an event here, and remembered how tight and cramped the seats were. Unfortunately, I ignored that and decided to go to another event here last week (in November 2014), and was quickly reminded what an awful experience it was...the seats were clearly designed in a different era, when people were a lot shorter. I...

Tips about this business (1)

Know Before You Go

Looking to tie one on? Better have a few before the show, as the theater doesn't allow drinks in the seating areas--if you want a beer, you'll have to huddle in the lobby and miss the show.
