Reviews of The Huntington at The Huntington Theatre

Went to see Jo Turner's come and gone. The show was terrific. The theater after renovations is very clean and well organized. The seats are comfortable. I like that they have lights in front of each bathroom stall to show which one is empty.

Alexander “LEX” Smith

NewLy Restored HuntingTon Theater! Saw the show “Joe Turner’s Come and Gone” by August Wilson. Brand new seats 💺 and ReFurbished Auditorium. Check it out!!! …

Joshua Rosen

Excellent theater with good acoustics. Just saw Odyssey Opera's production of Gilbert and Sullivans's Patience here, it was terrifiic. Just saw the Offenbach operata Le Belle Helene, done by Odyssey Opera. Wonderful performance.

Leo Cheese

Other than the narrow seats, it was a very nice theater, with a nice view from the back row.

Jorgen Hansen

Huntington Theatre is somewhat dated, but it is not too large and rather intimate. At the moment they play Romeo and Juliet in Shakespeare's language but in a modern setting. Think Dunkin Donuts coffee cups and baseball bats for weapons. The play is well acted and a pleasure to watch.

Comfy Chris

I watched a play here called “Good People” back in 2012. It was an excellent production.

P KING

The Bluest Eye. If you wonder if a Toni Morrison book can be made into a play and convey the depth and power of TM's work the answer is YES. This is the best theatre experience I've had in quite a while. I was honored to experience it. Thank you

Phylly Goodman

Powerful performance by gifted actors. A "Must See" while in Boston!!

Danny van der Rijn

Show was good but the new seats were very uncomfortable

Marc Milgram

This is a beautiful old theater. I was surprised that when I attended a performance, the balcony was extremely hot (maybe 85F on a cool day).

Louis Vanson

3 yrs ago went for a twosetviolin concert, wonderful experience and interior

Julie Marie Langevin

Expensive, but worth it. Production choices and value are top notch in the city. Great stories and fabulous artists. The crews clearly work very hard to give you the best, from the designers to the backstage crew to the people who build the shows. I'm never disappointed.

Michael Tom

Probably the premiere theater in boston for plays! And $20 student tickets

Tyler Manoukian

Redesign old fashioned theater with engaging, hilarious, and compelling shows. The staff here is wonderful and helpful. And the cast they bring in for each of the shows are fantastic. This is a very good area to make a night out if you can

Kit Johnson

The theater was lovely and the seats were some of the biggest theater seats I have sat in in all of the Boston theaters I have visited. The Huntington Theater is also one of the smaller theaters. I loved looking at the beautiful blue and gold decor and tasteful chandeliers. The show I saw wasn't really great, but I definitely recommend the theater itself. Hopefully the show you see is better than the one I saw.

Tanager Nevada

Sound of Music was amazing. The range of their voices outstanding, blew your hair back a couple of times! Worth every penny. An afternoon spent thoroughly entertained. Thank you, keep of the good work. Looking forward to future shows.

Paul Alexander

I saw "Indecent," which was truly spectacular and a life-changing experience for me. it strikes me that every seat in the house is a good seat based on the way the stage is configured. It does not get better than this, and New englanders are so fortunate to be close by. It was an easy trip in by train and a short walk.

Jorge Garcia

This is a beautiful theater building that's about to be closed for a couple of years while it's updated & upgraded. The productions here are consistently well mounted & well acted. Though somewhat pricey, this is easily the best, though not the most innovative, company in greater Boston.

Kyra Montagu

Merrily.... is the most wonderful show in years. Brilliantly staged, beautifully sung, fabulously played and miraculously directed, it is a really great Sondheim dream show. Do not miss this one.

Hsiu Chang

Just saw Quixote neuvo at the theater. the place here never disappoint. But the other does his very best to bring different cultures. A few years ago was Asian-American and now it's Mexican-American. I love the pre and post-show discussions. I will continue to come to this day there for years to come.

David Marcillo

We enjoy our membership to the Huntington Theatre Company for many years. Both locations are next to great restaurants and bars. The shows are fantastic and well prices. Membership to this is the Best deal in Downtown Boston Theatre Scene !

Heather Gallagher

Intimate theatre, good acoustics, decent sized pit and dressing rooms....an enjoyable experience from the audience and performer's perspectives. The shows the resident company puts on are consistently excellent.

Temi Ogunbodede

I LOVE Huntington Theatre Company!!! They bringing meaning to art and the form of art and theatre! So far, I have seen 2 plays by this company. They are "Guess who is coming to Dinner" and "Ether Dome". I would have to say that I really, really, LOVE "Ether Dome"! It was such an awesome play and it was well done. I wish there was more publicity on the play.I also love the fact that some of their play is at the Calderwood Pavilion. That is such a great theatre.

Mandy Cole

Great smaller theatre with beautiful architecture

Dana Turell

Just saw a production of Merrily We Roll Along that was fantastic! Living in a smaller city now, I don't see that kind of quality very often anymore. It was restorative to my soul. Great job by the all involoved!

Sarah Ciras

Beautifully done productions every time. Bad Dates, Confederacy of Dunces, and many more, perfectly staged. Great local theatre with big name actors.

Graham Wright

Count on the Huntington Theatre for a balance of new plays and old masterpieces. For younger audiences especially, you should check out their 35 Below program, which overs $25 tickets to audience members under 35 years old. Not only do you get a bargain on tickets, but the program also includes an invitation to several wrap parties. Definitely a bargain and a good time.

Lesley Braga

The shows the Huntington put on are amazing. Every shows sits with me for some time while I work through complex emotions that the actors portrayed or I'll find myself chuckling over a joke days later.

Jakob Weisblat

I've seen several shows here and they've been fantastic - the scenery is very well done, there's been cool projection, and of course great acting. There's an under 35 discount too.

Andris Vizulis

We attended a panel discussion here and our seats were main floor, left side, about three rows in. Because the seats were close to the door, it was quite drafty and cold (November), especially when the door was open. Also, we were quite surprised that there were numerous issues with individual speaker audio, as if this were the first time Huntington had ever done such an event, which would be hard to believe. Speakers were finally given handheld microphones instead of clip-on lapel ones, and that fixed the problem ... but it was well into the evening that the solution was found.

Alison Varrell

Absolutely love this theater! Not a bad seat in the house. (But parking is difficult. As a "single" theater goer, that discourages me from attending evening shows.)

Kate Theriault

Always enjoy the plays put on by this fabulous group. Broadway quality in Boston, and much more intimate than the bigger venues showing more mainstream shows in Boston.

Donald Allen

"Sunday in the Park With George" last night was as good a production of this masterpiece as I've ever seen, save perhaps for the original (Mandy Patinkin in this role is a very hard act to follow). To the car-centric reviewer who said "Parking is a pain": take the T! You are using the wrong tool (a car) and then complaining when it doesn't do the job well.

R Hargrow

Bad dates was an excellent one-woman show the actress was phenomenal! Staff was great too gave us best deal for our seats!

Will Kennedy

We had a lovely time here and saw A Confederacy of Dunces. Parking is a pain so get there early and have a plan. The Pru is always an option but will run you about $40.

George Chin

Consistently, well acted and directed plays with wonderful sets. Their play selection is a combination of well known plays as well as premiers. Often thought provoking.

Diana Dozier

Went to the play " BAD DATES Good location for local play productions. Great walking area, right of the green line Symphony Hall stop or Orange Line Mass Ave Station. Hopefully looking to see more plays there

Carmelita.Z. Senters

Doll house, part ll. A wonderful timeless theme. How do two people negotiate living together. Superb acting. Loved it!

D Martin

A very good venue to watch a show with good discounts for students. Obviously the quality of shows varies, though even poorly written shows are well acted and produced.

Zhongxia Yan

Percy Jackson and the lightning thief was pretty good overall. The effects don't beat a Broadway show in NYC but it's much cheaper

Eileen Meranda

Small theatre where almost all of you the seats have good views of the stage. The last few performances have been really great.

Jonathan Bell

Love the Huntington theater. Every show I have gone to here has been wonderful. Inexpensive student tickets are a nice bonus.

Isabelle Viellard Pelve

Tea at Five is featured at the Huntington Theatre Company until July 14. Go for it. Spectacular performance of Faye Dunaway portraying Katherine Hepburn.

Gene Radwin

Neuvo Quixote is wonderful theatre. Actors, staging, music, dance and costumes. Updating Cervantes to modern life was brilliant

Pace Willisson

Very clever stagecraft, often having scenery rise from the floor. They even had stairs descending into the belly of a ship in the middle of the stage once.

Em Hooper

Quixote Nuevo was wonderful. The staging interesting, fun and inventive. The play was funny, sad, thought provoking and engaging Loved it.

Gabi Rivero

The theatre is beautiful and somehow really big but really small. Every seat seemed to be a good seat!

JACQUELINE WILLIAMS

Wonderful old regional theater, which brings interesting productions to the Boston area. Friendly and knowledgeable staff, both paid and volunteers.

Maureen Boisvert

Saw Bad Dates at Huntington Theatre. Laughed so hard and so often and I'm still smiling. Phenomenal script and actor. Kudos to all!

sabrina mclaughlin

Beautiful theater! Loved listening to Caitlin singing her Lullaby Harper Rose with Palaver Strings.

Maliha Chaudhry

Beginning of play was geared towards a very specific audience and I could not get into it at all. The acting was good though.

Miriam Kosowsky

The adaptation of Tartuff, which I saw a few months ago was one of the best plays have ever seen. Bad Date was also very good.

Thomas Cavanaugh

This venue puts on quality productions, and every seat is a good view of the stage. But it is due for a renovation.

brittany rezendes

Beautiful theatre, my only gripe is that the women's bathroom only has three stalls and the wait is over 10 minutes because of the line that forms during intermission.

Humberto Baptista

Traditional theatre. Very beautiful. Nice visibility and good acoustics. Maintenance a bit lacking though.

Adam Solomon

Nice theater, on the small side, excellent sight lines. Production was very high quality.

Sara Belcher

Beautiful theatre and wonderful play! Very accessible as I have mobility issues.

Saw Sweat the other day, and it was awesome! Huntington always supports great theatre!

Tyler Gould

Good plays (Confederacy of Dunces was superb) and you cant beat the under 35 season pass deal.
