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

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. Im never disappointed.

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

Huntington Theatre is somewhat dated, but it is not too large and rather intimate. At the moment they play Romeo and Juliet in Shakespeares 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.

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 its Mexican-American. I love the pre and post-show discussions. I will continue to come to this day there for years to come.

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

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.

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 wasnt really great, but I definitely recommend the theater itself. Hopefully the show you see is better than the one I saw.

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

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).

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

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.)

Percy Jackson and the lightning thief was pretty good overall. The effects dont beat a Broadway show in NYC but its much cheaper

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

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 Ill find myself chuckling over a joke days later.

This is a beautiful theater building thats about to be closed for a couple of years while its 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.

This is the 2nd performance in a row at the Huffington that weve left due to it being a terribly boring story. Actors were competent and sets well done. Now, how about choosing better plays? Several people left with us at intermission.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

An
Review №76

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.

Sunday in the Park With George last night was as good a production of this masterpiece as Ive 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 doesnt do the job well.

Wi
Review №89

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.

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.
