Watch a Play in the Theater District

Nothing like a night at the theater, complete with fancy clothing, fine eating, and live performances in a lavish setting. More than a dozen theaters make up Boston's main theater area, which is located in the city's center.

You can get anything you're looking for in this glitzy area, from Broadway musicals to Christmas-themed performances to dancing performances. Visit the renowned Boston Opera House even if you're not an opera buff. This magnificent Baroque building, a staple of Washington Street, symbolizes beauty at its best. This is where The Nutcracker ballet, a holiday season must-see, especially for those traveling with children, is performed in the months of November and December. Visit the Colonial Theatre on Boylston Street as soon as you can. The interior of the structure has recently undergone a lavish (and expensive) renovation, and it is intriguingly ornate. A lot of well-known shows have also made their debuts here before moving on to Broadway in New York.
