In May 2015 I wrote that the abandoned, subterranean Steinert Hall, that has been closed to the public since 1942, may reopen in my post, Abandoned Steinert Theater may be renovated. Earlier this month The Boston Globe confirmed that will likely happen now in their article, Silent for decades, underground theater set to be revived.

The 650 seat Steinert Hall first opened in 1896 and was famous for its impeccable acoustics but was forced to close soon after Boston’s tragic Coconut Grove fire in 1942.  The new building owner confirms plans to revive Steinert Hall, underground theater on Boston Common some 70+ years later with the hope of reopening it to the public.

If Steinert Hall is returned to its former glory and opens to the public it would join 9 other theater houses in Boston’s Theater District including:

Boston Opera House
Colonial Theater 
Charles Playhouse
Cutler Majestic Theatre
Modern Theatre at Suffolk
Paramount Theater
Shubert Theatre
Wang Center of Performing Arts
Wilbur Theatre

The talented Todrick Hall is bringing his handsome, talented cast to Boston later this summer to perform his new show, Straight Outta Oz, at The Wilbur on Wednesday, August 3rd.  Tickets went on sale earlier this month so if you are a fan, get tickets while they last: Todrick Hall – Straight Outta Oz.

The next couple of months will have some interesting acts visiting Boston’s Wilbur Theatre. Some of the acts that caught my attention are listed below. The links I’ve provided are presale and not widely available to the public for a limited time but these shows will sell out so if you are interested get’em now.

Thursday, June 2 – Sarah Silveman 7:30 p.m. brings this New England comedian back home for one show only.

Friday, August 5 – The Thunder from Down Under 10:30 p.m. is there really any need to elaborate on this one?

Saturday, August 20 – Michael Carbonaro 7:00 p.m. bring the “Carbonaro Effect” to Boston for one show only.

Saturday, August 27 – Bill Maher 7:00 p.m. will entertain you with his skewering remarks about the trainwreck better known as the Presidential campaign.

Friday, March 4th was opening night for Boston’s Lyric Stage Company latest production, Fast Company. 

Described as a fast, funny, and dangerous crime caper that will keep you guessing until the very end whether the family that cons together can stay together.

The production will run through Easter Sunday, March 27th at their theater in the Back Bay located at 140 Clarendon Street.
