I'm sure it's a gorgeous theater but the way in which the postponement of Moulin Rouge! has been handled is inexcusable. Like many others I am not from Boston, and was specifically going to Boston on a short trip to see this show. I was alerted by email that the show I had chosen was canceled due to a construction issue (not their fault I totally understand that). BUT what I have an issue with is I get informed through email that someone would be in contact with me in 72 hours about my tickets. That's 72 hours in which tickets were still available online for other people to purchase. I'm one of the lucky few who has a chance to see one of the other optional shows if anyone ever gets back to me. I had to call 50+ times around 11:30am to even get to hear the hold music. I had to place my phone number on the hold list and they said they would call back in the order they received calls. It's now 2:15pm. Someone suggested to contact them through Facebook. I did earlier today at 9:20am. Finally someone responded at 12:05pm asking about my order number and which show I would like to switch to. Once again, it's 2:15pm and have not gotten any other contact. I feel for the customer service reps having to deal with this but, really, they should have taken down the ability for new people to book for shows until they have gotten in contact with everyone who was...

Beautiful theater with great shows, expensive concessions.

We love this theater! It feels grand. We’ve also seen some wonderful shows here, and we have been seated in various spots, and there seem to be no dead spots in terms of sound quality. Certainly, there are some seats that are better than others, but the sound seems to be excellent throughout.

The shows they curate and choose to produce/perform here are always a wonderful mix and excellent quality. I’ve never seen a bad show here.

I guess my only complaint is the concessions. It’s not just that they are wildly expensive, as I’m accustomed to paying $12 for a glass of of wine if I am in a theater, but they’re more expensive than that, and the pours seem smaller, and I guess my biggest complaint is very little snack variety, and so we ordered some peanut snack mix, and it was rancid. It was clear that it was very old, but we did not wish to return it, Because we bought it at intermission, and we really did not want to miss the show. And afterwards, concessions was closed and we could not return it. That’s my only complaint about this theater, and I’m certain the theater contracts out the concessions, so just a note for them in the future.

I will say that it is nice that you can bring your snacks and wine into the theater, because not all theaters allow this, and some places make you chug it...
