Boston's compact Theater District, south of Boston Common, southwest of Chinatown, is lively every night.

Although small, it's packed with theaters and show venues:

—Charles Playhouse (Blue Man Group and Shear Madness)

—Boston Opera House

—Citi Performing Arts Center Wang Theater

—Citi Colonial Theater

—Cutler Majestic Theater

—Nick's Comedy Stop

—Paramount Center/Theater

—Shubert Theater

—Wilbur Theater

(The Orpheum Theater, near Park Street Station, is not in the Theater District and is thus farther, about 11 minutes (1/2 mile, 800 meters).

Same-day half-price tickets for many Boston theater and musical performances are sold by BosTix online and at BosTix kiosks in Copley Square and Faneuil Hall Marketplace.

A number of good hotels are right in or very near the Theater District, a central location for Boston sightseeing and shopping as well. More...
