Lyric Stage Boston — Attraction in Boston

This is one of the best theaters I've ever been to, and lets just say I'm not unexperienced in the world of theater. My family and I have been season pass holders for about 4 years now and never have I left feeling unsatisfied. While there were some shows I preferred over others, I always admire how the Lyric Stage gives it their all everytime. The sets are always incredible. The theater thrives on a solid set. While the stage its self is rather small, the space always so well utilized and absolutely stunning. Most of their musicals feature a live orchestra and a small cast (the largest I've seen is probably about 9 actors total) and many of the productions feature return cast which makes it intriguing. At the same time, it isn't hard to find new faces. The environment isn't stuffy and is comfortable for anyone who visits whether they frequent theater or not. It's a black tie and fancier setting, however not everyone sticks to it which is perfectly ok. The stage its self is bordered on three sides by numerous rows of seats, the largest being the center side. I'd be lying if I said they were particularly comfortable (they're pretty tight seats that don't leave much room to spread out) but it's never taken away from my experience. Restrooms are close by, which is convenient given there's a concessions stand with a myriad of options. There are also more restrooms on the first floor which is great given there can be lines. Tickets can be bought ahead of time on their website or at the box office provided there are seats available (which they're typically are) and I assure any potential guests that there is no such thing as a bad seat at this theater. At the Lyric Stage, the audience is encouraged to react to everything on stage (and depending on the show, interact) how they please which is enjoyable and makes for a friendly environment. I would definitely recommend checking the Lyric Stage Company of Boston out of you are ever interested in seeing a...

I had an incredible experience last night watching "Thirst," a captivating play by Ronan Noone, a renowned Irish-American playwright celebrated for his emotionally resonant works. This production delves deep into the intricate themes of immigration, identity, and the human condition, offering a poignant exploration of an immigrant man's struggle to find his place in American society while confronting his past and yearning for connection.

Throughout "Thirst," we witness the profound themes of loneliness, displacement, and the relentless pursuit of belonging vividly portrayed on stage. As a first-generation immigrant myself, raising two young children as a single parent without family support, I found myself deeply resonating with the characters' struggles and triumphs. The play beautifully weaves together moments of humor, heartache, and introspection, providing profound insight into the immigrant experience and the timeless quest for identity and connection.

"Thirst" is undeniably a powerful and thought-provoking drama that left a lasting impact on me. Ronan Noone's masterful storytelling, coupled with the exceptional performances of the cast, captured the complexities of the human spirit with unparalleled depth and authenticity.

Furthermore, the location of Lyrics Stage provided the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable evening. I highly recommend starting your night at LA Burdick for their renowned hot chocolate, followed by a delectable dinner at Salty Pig, and finishing off with a cocktail at Long Bar in the Raffle Hotel, all conveniently within two blocks. It's the ultimate Boston experience, perfectly complementing the emotional journey of...

I went to see the world premiere of Mr. Parent, which was excellent! And I am excited about several of the other shows this season and plan to return.

One thing I appreciate about this theater is that they provide multiple ways for people to be able to see shows at a discount or for free - making the arts accessible is something I think is very important.

There is also a parking garage on the next block that has $10 evening parking.

Finding the entrance was the only glitch. There is a flag on the outside of the building, but the night we went (which was right before a blizzard, so perhaps different than typical, I am not sure) there were no signs by the doors or visible walking from the parking garage down Stuart St. We went around the corner and a woman on her bike helped us know where to go. Walking back up Stuart, we went into the alcove and up into the building (which has stairs up into it and looks like an apartment or office building). Tucked into an an archway inside the alcove was a sign for the theater.

The theater space is intimate and a great place...
