Gorgeous venue, comfortable seats. Lots of options for food and drinks. Give yourself time to find parking. Went to see a stand up comedy show and it was a lot of fun!
I have been attending a lot of shows this year and was very excited to attend a show here being the first time. Entering the theater was fine. The people that work here are friendly and helpful, however once I sat down (and I am 5’3”)…my knees were touching seat in front of me. My friend, who is 5”9” was so uncomfortable. The upper level seating is terrible and cramped. We ended up being able to move closer which was a little more roomy, but not terrific, because of that we left early. Unfortunately I won’t be coming back for any shows here.
Came here to watch the Gospel Extravaganza. The show did not disappoint. And even from the 2nd balcony, my view was great and the sound was clear. I'll definitely look for an excuse to come back.
An outstanding venue! We have never seen a bad show here. The acoustics are excellent, and the choice of performers is world class. We lived down the street from Berklee when I was in my 30s (we have since moved), but each time we visit Boston, we make a point of seeing something at the Berklee performance center. And it is always the highlight of our trip!! The latest performance we saw was in March of this year and featured Stanley Clarke, Marcus Miller, Victor Wooten, and Bass Extremes. The room was vibrating with energy. So fortunate to have this performance center and the school itself in Boston. Brava!
I recently attended the 38th Annual International Folk Festival at Berklee Performance Center in Boston, MA, and it was an unforgettable experience! The venue itself is fantastic, with excellent acoustics, a great stage, and comfortable seating. The diverse lineup of artists showcased the beauty of folk music from around the world, making it a mind blowing and thoroughly enjoyable event. I highly recommend Berklee Performance Center for anyone looking to immerse themselves in exceptional live performances. A must-visit for music lovers!
