Citi Performing Arts Center Reviews

I love a night out with family and this movies is very clean friendly

What a friendly beautiful venue with wicked close parking!!!

I was here for a Christina Aguilera concert and I don't even know where to begin. She truly put on a once in a lifetime show! Everything was perfected from the wardrobe, stage pieces, dancers, vocals and the band. She is a great performer with the vocals to back it up.

The Venue: All seats are relatively close to the stage and if you are lucking enough to land a 1st row seat you definitely have the chance to interact with the artists on the stage. The interior design of this theater is beautiful. Staff was fair and reasonable when people tried to make their way up closer from the back. I will definitely be back for another show at this venue.

I took a behind-the-scenes tour with Sam the in-house docent. Sam was highly engaged and very informative. This theater is a gem and must be seen to be appreciated. The tour took about 1 hour.

Amazing Theater. Everytime I attend an event at the Boch center the staff is great.

The staff there went above and beyond to make our experience there better, we experience the problem and they did everything they could to make it better. Thank you so much you saved the show for us.

The theater is beautiful very sophisticated looking.

Beautiful theater! Once inside you will see what I mean. The detailing and interior of this place blew me away. Saw a orchestral show hear and had a great experience. Temperature during the performance was great as well as our view, I was sitting in the first row of the mezzanine section. No issues with sounds. Sneak water and snacks in if you can and go to the bathroom before the show starts. During the intermission at the concert I went both lines were tremendously long.

This was beautiful, from the walk in, to the theatre itself. The show was well put on and the production quality was top notch.

Gorgeous space, great sound (but their ticket reader wouldn't read our tickets :-( much hassle, but staff were helpful)

All staff and ushers were friendly and courteous - lover helping the guests find their seats.

Saw Nine Inch nails there..could see great..perfect small venue

Beautifull theatre with excellent acoustics and a great staff.

Enjoying this theater performance on a special day makes people feel as if they are entering the palace. The graduation ceremony is also very strict, and the whole process is solemn and grand. Sitting in the front box to watch the performance is very meaningful. Write a perfect ending to this journey,

Beautiful place for a show/play. Just stunning inside! Make sure to take time to look around.

The sound system was very loud. I had to cover my ears for the entire performance, and even the announcements were deafening.

Very good ty I was impressed by the the detail work inside of the Boch theater

We saw Pentatonix, shorter show than I anticipated for the price. Beautiful venue, great comfy seats.

Saw Louis CK here - awesome event, awesome establishment!

The theatre is a beauty n must go once but there are some drawbacks.Unless u are in first few rows,the sound wasn't great. If you are expecting,please avaid since there s very less spacing between the seats n seat itself is small

Seats are tight! Get the aisle seat if you have long legs. Viewing of stage is pretty good from all sections.

Beautiful theatre, skip the lines for the concessions by going up one level

Awesome
The Moscow Ballet was worth the wait. And staff is extremely helpful

Absolutely gorgeous. I saw dane cook there ..but would love to see a symphony there. Acoustics must be amazing!

great theater, only issue is that there is very little legroom in the balcony.

Absolutely stunning amazing venue! Absolutely beautiful, truly a proper theater experience. Worth it to walk in just for the architecture.

Not a bad seat in the place and the architecture is amazing

It's a beautiful theater but if you're in the balcony, sit in the first couple rows because otherwise, you won't see. The rows aren't steep enough to see over the row in front of you and then down to the stage.

Safe clean fun seats are a bit tight the building is really nice

The inside of this theatre is an amazing work of art. That alone is reason enough to pay to see something here at least once, just to be able to go inside and see the theater!

Nice place and history within the walls. Really nice concert as well.

Saw a great show. My last visit here was when it was called the Music Hall.

Elegant...Great Sound...And Refresments Reasonable Priced..
Steely Dan Was Awesome With 5 Nights And 5 Different Shows...

Went to see Dave Chappelle and John Stewart. The seats were high in the balcony, but the view was still good.

I love the Wang Theater! I went to a Derek Hough concert, and it was amazing! My only complaint is that if you got the very back seats(like I did), I could mostly see not the stage, but the wall above the stage.

The is one of the best theater around. Is simply beautiful inside. Saw the Joker movie here last night and that movie rocks.

It was great to see Elf live my children and had good time.

Such a beautiful historic venue for a show. One of the best in Boston!

While beautiful the balconies are closing and cramped.

It's beautiful, but not all seats are able to see a stand up comedian on stage, might as well wait for them to appear on YouTube (more than 1/2 of comedic bits depend on body language and facial expressions). It would be fantastic for larger productions though.

No food but overall great experience limited snacks and drinks.

Nice looking theatre with great sound. Unfortunately their policies for general admission events lack common sense. There were a lot of people saving multiple empty seats for friends who "just got up to get snacks or use the bathroom". I asked an employee if this was even allowed, and she said it was. She proceeds to tell me that all general admission events are like this and that people can hold empty seats for as long as they want. I told her that people can just put sweaters on the seats and pretend their saving the seat, and she even acknowledged that was allowed. Completely ridiculous! If you get up during a general admission event, you lose your seat! Common sense right? Not for the Wang Theatre. I'm sure I wasn't the only one who felt this way during this event, the seat saving was absolutely out of hand. Also, the security to get in felt like TSA. Couldn't even bring in a bottle of water.

Beautiful venue, absolutely worth checking out a show here.

Been going here since I was a kid. Great venue. ez access. Good acoustics for music and theater. One thing. More bathrooms. Easier access to same

The theater is beautiful but the seats are small and close together. I am 5'9" and not overweight and it is uncomfortable. There is also a very limited choice of refreshments. I wanted a diet coke or Pepsi and could not get it. They had diet Sunkist or RC Cola.

An amazingly beautiful and historic theater. They provide tours daily from Noon to 4PM on the hour. Definitely worth the visit.

Nice and small. The location is wonderful; it is reght near chinatown. The people working their were quite nice. However, they put out a tip jar for a $4 bottle of water.

They should have screen so people upstairs who ain't got all the money can see BECAUSE YOU can see nothing but the top of their heads not PRETTY And they DON'T look up RIPPING FOLKS OFF LIKE THE ELDERLY

Amazing venue, great amenities, plenty of bathrooms. Staff is great as well. We saw White Christmas here and will be coming back again.

The Wang is a great venue, with a beautiful performance space, reasonably priced snacks (for a theater), and a gorgeous entry hall. Last time we went, we sat on the upper, upper balcony, and the seats were slightly uncomfortable (I'm 6'1"), but they might be more spacious in the lower, more expensive seats. Overall though, it was a great experience.

It was a beautiful theatre. Most of the staff was very helpful.

A night at the theater isn't what it used to be. Was a crowded, hot, uncomfortable, beer can littered ordeal. Very unpleasant. Oh yeah, it is more expensive though.

It's a piece of art made into a theater. I loved it. There's a multi level parking structure right next to it.

DO NOT ever buy CitiCenter for the Performing Arts gift certificates for any performances at the Wang! They have outsourced their box office to third party vendors and it is impossible to use the certificate anywhere but at the box office in person. This means double fees for tolls, parking, gas, etc to get into the city to make reservations to see a desired show as well as a vendor tax on top of the outrageous performance prices charged.

Beautiful theatre, seats are a bit on the small side. Security is tight, which is a necessity about now, but it does make getting into the theatre a bit of a chore. View in the theatre is clear wherever you sit and sound is great. Rest rooms are huge and have really good paper towels :)
