Citi Performing Arts Center Reviews

After bring my Grandchildren to see Paw Patrol we were held captive by the street vendors upon leaving the theater. They aligned themselves so there was barely 3-4 feet between the street carts in a circle outside on the sidewalk. The cheap and expensive merchandise was literally hitting you as you tried to pass through. When we finally made it through there was one vendor calling to us. It was pretty chaotic. After spending over 300.00 the days event the last thing I needed was a street Barker calling out to me.
Shame on the Boch for allowing such a unnecessary commercial out cry at the end of an fun day for the kids.

Up in the gods was ok but the seats are narrow with not much legroom.

honestly I am a big guy and find the seats uncomfortable and inconvenient for people sitting behind me. the staff was wonderful

Amazing venue and stunning architecture and great sound. The seats though have leg room worse than Spirit airlines.

A classic performance house and center of the theater district of Boston.

Old seat that are uncomfortable to sit on for a show

Very nice, old theater in the heart of downtown Boston. Recently attended a Christmas show here for the first time and enjoyed the venue. It does not have the largest foyer I've ever been in, so intermissions can be problematic and very crowded, but theater itself is nice inside.

Classic theatre with great service, awesome seats, awesome atmosphere. Basically everyone here lp0pis awesome, especially Jennifer and John. Looking forward to returning soon.

Gorgeous theater. Plentiful parking and pre-/post-show dining opportunities. Even with the additional security (metal detectors) entrance was quick and effortless. Had a great time and was sincerely impressed. Try the Abby Lane tavern across the street.

Opulent lobby and house, spacious backstage facilities, great local staff and crew.

Started going here 40 years ago. Looking forward to many more.

Love the Wang center, beautiful theater with great views from most seats. Only 5 stars because even at my small stature of just over 5 feet tall, very close seats with little leg room.

Saw Shen Yun at the facility. The theater itself was fantastic, well decorated, comfortable seats, and good acoustics. The bathroom facilities were a bit small for a full theater. Amenities/ food had a great variety but I didn't purchase any so unknown on prices. Staff was professional and friendly.

A beautiful place, but the sound is only ok. Maybe at Orchestra it would be clear and loud, but the sound projection from the stage did not impress. Visually awesome, like a nine, or even a ten, but the sound, though clear, is just slightly louder than conversational, no impact. The tenor Domingo, the two accompanying sopranos and the entire festival orchestra performed beautifully, but the Music Hall (its name from my youth) swallowed up a third of the sound. Probably fixable, but it is a multi-purpose venue, owned by a (kinda cool) car merchant, so it's hard to imagine it getting any meaningful updates. Guess I'll need to pony up for orchestra seats next time.

wonderful venue to see a show or a concert in. tough parking at times.

Ornate theater palace from the golden days of live shows

A beautiful smaller theatre! The Hip Hop Nutcracker was spectacular! A must see!

Loved the Wang theater, got to enjoy PAW patrol performance with my 3 year old. Very nice theater.

Saw Alvin Ailey this night. Great show. Beautiful theater!

Beautiful, comfortable venue with Great acoustics and friendly staff. All around an enjoyable experience.

Horrible customer service, I had ticket problems and could not get an email or a call back. Phone calls will not be answered or returned nor will emails. I had to drive up from RI to resolve a simple issue that could have been done by email or phone

Looks amazing, but you will have a hard time sitting comfortably if you are taller than four feet.

IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO SPEAK TO A LIVE PERSON!!! There is a blizzard coming, and we are driving in from another state for a concert, and would just like to call someone to ask whether or not the show is canceled! It is Monday, and there is literally no way to contact a live person, except to buy tickets at the call center in Chicago. Absolutely unacceptable. I will NEVER purchase tickets to a concert at this theatre again.

Always Such a great experience provided by staff and world class shows for all ages. A must go place in Boston. Amazing times for the whole family guaranteed.

It is stunningly beautiful inside. The staff is very helpful in helping patrons find their seats. Plenty of concessions stands and drinks aren't too overpriced.

Glad I got to see a show there. Would definitely go back and expect they attract the best performers and theatre companies.

The venue is a beautiful they've come a long way with the restoration but the seats are still too small and the rolls are still very tight not comfortable at all to sit and watch your favorite venue

It is a beautiful theatre. I wish the concession stands stayed open for the intermission other than that It was a great concert.

Great staff. Historic and wonderful venue. Like to sit in pit for shows.

Awesome place. Acoustics are great. Just saw King Crimson.

Like other comments say snacks are limited to chips & pretzels and water & snapple drinks. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

What a magnificent theater with very good acoustics! The front row of the mezzanine can be a challenge to see the front of stage, but otherwise, well worth a visit!

Went for a wedding and had a blast. Theatre seating has excellent sight lines!

I've seen several shows here and I'm always blown away by how beautiful it is. The seating is the steepest amphitheater I've ever seen, it feels almost vertical looking toward the stage in some places.

I saw POD SAVE AMERICA and it was a great time. The staff was helpful and kind with a fun sense of humour. There were multiple restrooms on a number of levels. I had a bit of trouble getting the bar code on my phone app and the woman scanning was patient and resourceful. Parking is easy, a garage one building over from the theatre enterance. This is one of my favorite theatres.

This theatre is gorgeous! The plaster work and the tapestries and seats are beautiful! We saw Ghost there and the acoustics were amazing. We were in the very top of the balcony and we had a perfect view- the stairs were quite a workout but they had snacks and drinks available at all levels. The bathroom was clean considering how many people were in attendance. Oh and near an hour into the show the balcony got really hot but that was partially because we had on winter type clothes. Overall would definitely love to see another show here!

Amazing location! Great acoustics. However the beer kiosks made it feel cheap.

The show was goof but the seats where very cramped and the thearter was warn and was starting to ahow its age over all thoe it was a good exsperince.

Obviously your experience will depending on what you're there to see, but the building, seating, and stage are all beautiful

Beautiful theater. The staff were a pleasure to interact with.

Artistic beauty. Memorable experiences here. Definitely will return.

Wangtheat was the highlight of the Boston Pass. The pass itself leaves a lot to be desired

This theater is so beautiful and the acoustics are amazing. I definitely recommend attending concerts here!!

Awesome place to go. The theater is well maintained and the architecture and art inside is simply phenomenal. Almost a free show itself. Also a lot of great restaurants to eat at nearby.

It was amazing!! Il Divo concert was excellent! The place beautiful!! I will go back again!

Still a beautiful theater. King Crimson was sold out. A performance that will treasured. Wow.

My son love paw patrol live...he's ready to come back

Beautiful theater. Wonderful volunteers. Easy in and out from a Worcester.

Saw dancing with the Stars tour at the boch center. The place is astonishingly beautiful architecturally !! Felt very comfortable there , and loved the show!!!

It's close to home,can get there on a bus or train, prices are reasonable

Boch center was beautiful. The acoustics were great. The person in charge of the microphones and audio equipment was incompetent. There was microphone feedback during the entire performance.
