The Colonial Theatre presents productions of Broadway musicals as part of Broadway in Boston. Built in 1900, it is the oldest continually operating theater in Boston.
There’s not a bad seat at the Colonial Theatre. A throwback to an era when live performance was revered, the Colonial is cozier than the nearby Boston Opera House—with minimal leg room between seats—but that’s a good thing. At a recent performance of “Sweeney Todd,” an upper mezzanine seat felt like being in the front row. Upcoming shows include “Mamma Mia!” and the always-controversial “Avenue Q.”
Here's more info: National companies, Broadway shows and an occasional concert perform in the 1700-seat Colonial. The theater also hosts pre-Broadway tryouts. Tickets $50-70. Reservations needed. Student rush tickets ($25) are available 1hr before showtime except on F and Sa. Patrons in wheelchairs (and 1 companion) can call ahead for half-price orchestra seating.This section contains information from Harvard Student Agencies' Unofficial Guide to Life at Harvard.
