Why “They” Love the Huntington Theatre Company:
“I’ve seen several shows here, including Student Matinees and regular performances. Not all the performances were amazing- that’s really another issue, but I am always excited to see what they will do next in terms of set design: whether it be a giant tree center stage, moving panels, or a revolving set piece, I am always awed and inspired. In addition, I always feel comfortable sitting in the theater. It is clean, and looks practically new. And it is beautiful.”
- Jessica W., Boston
“I really enjoy seeing plays here. It’s a really cozy venue, but not in the “good lord it’s a closet” kind of cozy. The interior is beautifully restored, the seats are a little tight, but you get a nice view of the stage from any of them. They have some really interesting projects come through, so if you’re curious about what new is being done in theatre, this could be a good place to start. My favorites have been “Present Laughter” with Victor Garber (and ran into him walking around Beacon Hill earlier that week; sadly he didn’t recognize me later in the audience =P), and “39 Steps” which was amazingly fun and had such a creative use of minimal props and space.”
- Rachel U., Philadelphia, PA
“The theatre was super cute – I loved seeing all the old pictures from the 80s and such of past plays, many with famous actors in hilarious costumes. Everything was very pleasant – their snack selection was good and very vegan friendly (Swedish fish, granola bars, and other junk food) and I am glad they have wine! However I didn’t have any because I wanted to remember this play, not be buzzed!”
- Jessica H., Hyde Park, MA
“The theatre itself is not too big and has a lot of character. Its classic yet elegant decor creates a warm inviting atmosphere to enjoy a great production. I swear there must not be a bad seat in the house. A great value for the price and the performances were highly entertaining and enjoyable. We will definitely be back for many more shows!”
