About the Citi Performing Arts Wang Theatre Center

The Citi Performing Arts Center Wang Theatre, is a 3,600-seat venue. Opened in 1925 it is one of the five largest stages in the country. It was originally called The Metropolitan or “The Met,” and was developed by Max Shoolman and designed by Clarence Blackall, a leading American theater architect. At the time, The Metropolitan was hailed as a magnificent movie “cathedral,” reminiscent of the splendor of a Louis XIV palace and was considered historically the most important Boston landmark of “the Roaring Twenties.” In 1980, the theatre converted to a not-for-profit organization known as The Metropolitan Center and renovations to the stage and backstage attracted Broadway shows Sweeney Todd with Angela Lansbury, Peter Pan with Sandy Duncan and My Fair Lady with Rex Harrison.

An extraordinary gift in 1983 from Dr. An Wang, founder of Wang Laboratories, ushered in the era of The Wang Center for the Performing Arts and the Wang Theatre. Most notably, the venue hosted record-breaking performances of the Radio City Christmas Spectacular in 2004 and 2006, and prior to that the Theatre broke box office records with musicals such as Les Miserables and The Phantom of the Opera, and has presented productions such as Riverdance-The Show, The Kirov Ballet, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre, Whitney Houston, Harry Connick Jr., Dave Matthews, and Lady Gaga Additionally, the theatre has ventured into new areas of programming, including the family shows Arthur’s Live Adventure and Blues Clues Live!, non-traditional theatrical events such as Burn the Floor and the North American premiere of Blast!, as well as producing the popular holiday production of White Christmas.

The Wang Theatre, along with the Shubert Theatre are part of Citi Performing Arts Center one of the nation’s foremost nonprofit performing arts institutions honoring all aspects of performing arts.
