    Great fireworks
    The fireworks were amazing, with many different types, colors, and length; we got there about 4 hrs early; I think it’s ok to go a bit later; taking MTA was great; park out of city and take it in

    Must see
    Two brilliant performances this year to date: My Obsession and As Anticipated. Beautiful and incredible dance, stunning sets and lighting and music make the Boston Ballet a treat for the eyes, ears, and soul.

    The Trifecta completed at last
    There seems to be general agreement that the three best-sounding concert halls in the world are Amsterdam's Concertgebouw, Vienna's Musikverein and Boston's Symphony Hall. I attended the first of several concerts in the Concertgebouw back in 1961 and in the Musikverein in 1978.In spite of visiting Boston several times in the 1990s and 2000s, I never made it to Symphony Hall. We went to an open rehearsal this morning and, yes, the acoustics are magnificent. The hall is also very attractive in a late 19th-century way.

    A night of laughs and… Wow!!
    This show did NOT disappoint. I went with my husband and another couple. The entire time we were entertained. Loved the interactive show. After the show we talked throughout our meal… trying to figure out what happened and how.
    Thank you!

    Immersive theatre, always with a good story
    The Lyric Stage is a wonderfully small theatre where you feel right up close with the performers on stage. I love that they always choose plays with a story. Some are just hilarious fun, some are thought-provoking and moving, but I always leave feeling like I was transported to another world for an hour or two. Having been a subscriber for several years now, I am always impressed by the talented actors. I love how the set design changes dramatically from one production to the next. The Lyric is a treat! Not all shows have themes that are appropriate for children, but the box office is very helpful in letting you know what each production contains so that parents can decide if it is appropriate for their kids. Currently tickets for kids are $10 and the theatre also has discount tickets for visitors under 30 and seniors.

    A treat for ears, eyes, whole me
    Loved this experience. Truly. Convenient location, helpful staff, clean and comfortable auditorium and seats. It felt exciting just to be there. Then the sound is incredible. Acoustically perfect. Intimate experience with music and musicians. It’s really a homey enveloping experience with fantastic sound and music and an appreciative, knowledgable audience.

    Would see again
    Paul was absolutely magnetic. With fantastic storytelling leading up to each act, I was fully immersed in the experience. I was a part of several acts and at some point felt him physically put cards into my hand - and yet, I couldn’t figure anything out. Amazing show all around.

    Potted Potter at the Cutler Majestic
    Saw a show here this past weekend and it was good. The venue was nice as well with some old charm to it. Probably overpaid value-wise in regards to the show/accommodations but had a good time so I am not mad with myself after the fact. Good place to see a show at the right price.

    Boston's world class symphony...
    One of the oldest orchestras in the United States, the Boston Symphony Orchestra (BSO) has its own stop on the Green Line, i.e., Symphony.  The area in which it's located is not one you will find on a list of tourist hot spots, but that's exactly why you should visit.  Located near Northeastern University's urban campus and the Boston Philharmonic, the BSO's neighbourhood is characterized by pubs, chain and independent restaurants celebrating a number of cuisines.

    Small Boston Theatre
    Cute Theatre in Boston on Huntington Ave. Easily walk-able from Copley Square and restaurants. You won't break the bank with this night out! Enjoy the show!

    Nice little theater
    The view from my seat in the orchestra was perfect, and the theater has a good rake. Staff were friendly and on top of things. Bathrooms were big and clean. Theater doesn't have a good place for a merch table, which caused some human traffic problems in the lobby. They can't do anything about the lack of space, but need to figure out better crowd control.

    Good vibe
    On a dry day this is always somewhere I would chose to come as I love the music and the general vibe of the place.
    The singers are always good and cater for all tastes.
    Service was good, various options for ordering, from the bar, online via a QR code or from the waiters/waitresses
    The only thing that lets the place down are the toilets and whilst I understand the need for plastic cups for safety it’s never quite the same as drinking from a glass!

    Great play, very good facilities.
    My wife and I saw "A Beautiful Noise" on a Saturday afternoon. We had a very good time, enjoyed the play. The employees were very pleasant - as my wife and I were about to go in about 55 minutes before start time, an employee was arriving also, and took our picture, she was very nice. Not a big deal getting through metal detectors. My wife and had drinks, which was also easy. Had to wait a few minutes until doors opened to go into theater.

    The seats were rather small - but we were lucky no one on either side and no one behind sneezing onto us. Restrooms were very clean. We were about 10 rows from the front on the first level, excellent seats. Play started about 2:10. Ushers did a good job getting people into their seats.
