This is a beautiful old theater. I was surprised that when I attended a performance, the balcony was extremely hot (maybe 85F on a cool day).

I saw "Indecent," which was truly spectacular and a life-changing experience for me. it strikes me that every seat in the house is a good seat based on the way the stage is configured. It does not get better than this, and New englanders are so fortunate to be close by. It was an easy trip in by train and a short walk.
The theater was lovely and the seats were some of the biggest theater seats I have sat in in all of the Boston theaters I have visited. The Huntington Theater is also one of the smaller theaters. I loved looking at the beautiful blue and gold decor and tasteful chandeliers. The show I saw wasn't really great, but I definitely recommend the theater itself. Hopefully the show you see is better than the one I saw.
Huntington Theatre is somewhat dated, but it is not too large and rather intimate. At the moment they play Romeo and Juliet in Shakespeare's language but in a modern setting. Think Dunkin Donuts coffee cups and baseball bats for weapons.
The play is well acted and a pleasure to watch.
Beautiful area friendly location, and lots of shopping options.
Probably the premiere theater in boston for plays! And $20 student tickets
Expensive, but worth it. Production choices and value are top notch in the city. Great stories and fabulous artists. The crews clearly work very hard to give you the best, from the designers to the backstage crew to the people who build the shows. I'm never disappointed.
Other than the narrow seats, it was a very nice theater, with a nice view from the back row.
