Boch Center Wang Theater - Boston, MA

The stunning and ornate Wang Theatre has welcomed the performing arts since 1925, when it was known as the Metropolitan Theatre, a cathedral-like structure. Home also to big bands and the vaudeville musical circuit, the venue became the Music Hall in 1962, where the Metropolitan Opera and Bolshoi Ballet passed through. The venue now hosts everything from Broadway productions to renowned music, theater and dance acts. Listed in the National Register of Historic Places, the theater remains a treasure thanks to its restoration in 1983, made possible by Dr. An and Lorraine Wang. With a capacity of 3,500, the venue’s stage is one of the five largest in America and is part of the Boch Center, which also encompasses Shubert Theatre.
