A spectacular venue in Boston's theater district for larger shows. The theater was lovingly restored and is a wonderful example of thoughtful preservation to bring it to its former glory. While there is accessible seating and access to the T, I did not notice an elevator on the premises. The staff are helpful and abundant to make sure everyone finds their seating efficiently. The sound was excellent, and we had fantastic seats for the comedy performance. I highly recommend visiting this theater for a performance since it's a truly incredible experience.
We went to the Wang Theatre for the Jimmy Carr show, which was hilarious! It is an absolutely beautiful theater, with well-supported sound, and well-placed seating. The staff was so very lovely, and kind. The floor manager, Emily, and the ticketing staff were especially helpful and kind. The theater's beauty and charm are so well-preserved and provide the attendees a glance at a lovely part of history. There is some metered parking on Tremont St, right outside of the theater, if you're lucky to find some, but if not, the Tremont St parking garage, that is attached to Tufts University hospital offices is available for parking as well. There is also a small parking lot, immediately south (the next driveway south of the Tremont St. parking garage), where parking is available by another provider/company. The theater is perfectly located one street across from Chinatown and two blocks south from Park Street/Boston Commons. So it is right in the middle of a very fun, and popular part of Boston, easily walkable to almost all of the attractions around Boston as well. We would certainly love to go back again, if the opportunity presents itself!
An incredibly beautiful theater, superior to any theaters I’ve seen in NYC. The photos don’t convey its splendor. Sound system was perfect. It’s a marvelous venue for a concert.
Absolutely gorgeous venue! Show was amazing! Worth every penny! Easy accessible parking and plenty of restaurants nearby all within walking distance!
Concert was okay. Some of the 80s acts were good. Some don't have their voice after 40yrs. Overall quality of sound actually sucks in the venue.
