Boston, Massachusetts

Boston Symphony Hall is considered the finest concert hall in the Western Hemisphere — a 1900 auditorium presenting the Boston Symphony Orchestra (one of the world's greatest orchestras) in an acoustic environment so perfect that it remains the gold standard for concert hall design 125 years after its construction. The BSO's extraordinary musical history (Koussevitzky's championship of new American music, Tanglewood's creation of the world's most celebrated summer music festival), Serge Ozawa's 29-year tenure, and the current era under Andris Nelsons create a concert hall whose musical legacy is unrivaled in the Western Hemisphere.

Emerson Colonial Theatre is Boston's most historically significant performing arts venue — the oldest continuously operating theater in Boston (1900) and the city where more Broadway musicals have had their world premieres than any other theater in the United States. Funny Girl, Anything Goes, and Porgy and Bess (reworked before its Broadway premiere) are among the extraordinary works that premiered at the Colonial, making it the most important pre-Broadway try-out theater in American history.

Shubert Theatre is one of Boston's most beloved historic theaters — the 1910 "Little Palace" of the Boston Theater District where The Sound of Music, My Fair Lady, and West Side Story all had their pre-Broadway world premieres. Its extraordinary historic significance as the most important pre-Broadway try-out theater of the Golden Age of American musical theater and its continued role presenting Broadway touring productions make it one of the most historically resonant theatrical venues in the United States.

Wang Theatre is the most magnificent performance venue in Boston — a 3,500-seat 1925 theater whose extraordinary French Baroque interior (with a lobby modeled on the Palace of Versailles) creates the most visually spectacular theatrical experience in New England. Its role as the primary Broadway touring venue in Boston, its extraordinary architectural grandeur, and its position in the heart of Boston's Theater District create a theatrical experience befitting one of America's most culturally sophisticated cities.

Brookline, Massachusetts

Coolidge Corner Theatre is one of America's most beloved independent movie theaters — a beautifully preserved 1933 Art Deco Brookline theater presenting first-run films, foreign cinema, and the most extraordinary calendar of special programming in New England. Its Midnight Madness screenings, Rocky Horror Picture Show sing-alongs, and outstanding film festival programming have made it the most cinematically adventurous theater in the Boston area and a model for independent theater survival in the age of streaming.

Cambridge, Massachusetts

American Repertory Theater (A.R.T.) at Harvard is America's most celebrated academic theater — a Harvard University company whose productions have won multiple Tony Awards and sent more shows to Broadway than virtually any other regional theater in the United States. Hadestown (A.R.T. world premiere → Broadway → 8 Tony Awards including Best Musical) and Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812 exemplify the extraordinary creative ambition of a theater operating at the intersection of Harvard's intellectual resources and the most demanding theatrical market in the world.

Worcester, Massachusetts

Hanover Theatre is one of New England's most beautifully restored historic venues — a 1920 Worcester theater whose extraordinary interior restoration has made it one of the finest mid-size performance venues in the Northeast and the cultural anchor of downtown Worcester's remarkable revitalization. Its programming of Broadway touring productions, concerts, and community events serves a central Massachusetts market that has lacked a world-class performance venue for generations.
