Vertigo ensues almost immediately. The seats are also ridiculously uncomfortable: absolutely no leg room, worse than the worst airplane seat. No clear evacuation procedures, God forbid something happens, you can't even get out of the seat in a timely manner. But steepness and vertigo are literally making me sick. It is a hazard for health! Not to mention that bathrooms are "inclusive " right now, with multiple stalls. So men and women mingle and wait in same lines for same toilet stalls. Speak about made feel uncomfortable.

All of the ushers and ticket scanners were super friendly and helpful, and the lobby is pretty, with white walls and a beautiful staircase leading up to the mezzanine. I was first seated in Row K of the Left Mezzanine, and the view was very good. The slope of the seats was great enough that I didn't have any heads in the way of my view of the stage. They also had a large screen so I could get a bigger picture of the stage. My husband and daughter were seated in Row G of the left orchestra, and I was able to join them as there ended up being an empty seat. The view from the orchestra was great, and again, I did not have any heads blocking my view. Sound was also perfect from both the orchestra and the mezzanine. The women's restrooms were large and were downstairs from the orchestra seating. I did not have to wait in line - there seemed to be enough stalls to accommodate the sold out show. the men's room is on the orchestra level, and I think there are additional restrooms on the mezzanine level, and accessible restrooms on the orchestra level. Parking is available at a couple of nearby garages, and The Shubert Theatre staff will validate your parking ticket so you will get a discounted rate. Be sure to check the theatre's website for the specific parking garages. We had a very pleasant evening here at the Shubert and I would love to come back.

The biggest issue with this theater is the seats, they're small, close together and squeaky. When watch a show that is only acoustic guitar or piano, it became very annoying that the seats would squeak any time someone stood up to leave. It became a joke during the show because it sounds like "someone is playing clarinet" and at time "the clarinetist was just punched in the balls". Also, any time someone in the aisle needed to leave, everyone must stand up to let them out, thus more squeaking. Also, bathrooms are downstairs and stairs were steep. If you're disabled this would be a problem. The good here is that the acoustics were solid, entry was easy and staff friendly.

There is a balcony area if you wish to pay extra for your ticket as well, but it is a bit farther from the stage so if you want up close and personal, go GA and get there early. Limited street parking, but ample garages very close that charge $20 for event parking. Departing was quicker than a lot of venues I have been to from garage just up the street. Security and staff are quick to process and get you in. May want to pregame as drinks are a bit spendy here. Restrooms set off from the floor with dedicated entrance and exit to make the traffic flow good. Good smaller venue to get up close and personal for a show.

The high ceilings make it seem huge. The stage is large and spacious too. They had this red billowing curtain covering for the opening acts before the main band. Sound was great. Also the lighting effects for the different songs was good. We were quite close to the stage so had a great view. Great show! Restrooms are in the back and even though at the end of the show the women's had a long line but it moved fast. There are 17 stalls so that definitely helps move the line. There is a merch counter and a bar. The bar closed at the end of the show, so if you're looking for drinks or water make sure to get them during the show. Overall we had a great time!

The Commonwealth Shakespeare Company does a production of a Shakespeare play on Boston Common every…read moresummer. It generally goes two weeks, playing every night at 8 PM except for Mondays. Pull up a section of lawn ... but get there early, because the best spots are taken an hour in advance or so. Oh, yeah, it's free. The staging and design's usually eclectic, and it'll drive you buggy if you're a purist who demands that Shakespeare be performed on painted period backdrops and in musty old black broadcloth and ivory lace. Taming of the Shrew had costuming and design as if they were all paisans in the North End circa 1890. As You Like It was set around 1935, with the bad guy even wearing a black pseudo-Fascisti uniform. Hamlet had a bleak, Brutalist set where the escape scene had searchlights flashing over the stage and the sound of prison sirens and choppers in the background. The Comedy of Errors was Miami Beach circa 1930, with bossa nova aesthetics and music. This isn't your high school drama production. And what it is is AMAZING. They make Shakespeare live, they make it fun and spectacular, and you might find yourself hitting multiple nights in the same year. This is my 100th review on Yelp, and I wanted to make sure it'd be a five-star I could legitimately give ... and I've only given ten 5-stars. Hit this up next summer. Just take my word for it.

It gives me no pleasure to write this review--it's not meant for playgoers but for ASP directors. This was only the second play I've ever walked out on (the other was some horrendous staged reading of The Tempest); we left Twelfth Night not because it was *bad* (it wasn't), but because it was BORING. The last ASP we attended was The Tempest (2017?)--so boring, so static that we swore off ASP. Mind you, the lines were beautifully and energetically delivered, but A C T are the first the letters of ACTION. "They don't remember what you SAID, they remember what you DID." Too bad my teens saw Teller's A.R.T. Tempest--but it's not just Vegas glitz that beats the boring. Anyone remember ArtsEmerson's Twelfth Night (2016)? Super duper! My children STILL talk about it (and lemme tell you, teens know how to compare and complain). Stage 2's Romeo and Juliet? AMAZING action: I formed a bro-crush on Mercutio. The Underlings R&J? Electric DESPITE the "original pronunciation" (I was moved to $end a donation). The last ASP production I enjoyed was As You Like It (I still remember the bicycle in the woods scene: "...what they DID"), and that was... YEARS ago. ASP? Forgettable. I'd rather see some creative, if flawed, undergrad productions or stick with starveling players (bye bye, Underlings)--and apply my dollars, both ticket and charitable, elsewhere. So, if forgettable then... forget it. Credit where credit...: Toby Belch was entertaining, but mostly served to highlight the others' lackadaisicality. Oh, and Maria: she was good, but it felt like she was held back by direction, a standout in bondage or some such

They have really changed the way I look at many of Shakespeare's plays. I never really liked Love's Labours Lost until I saw their production that strategically used multiple-casting to draw out the farce. Their production of Merchant of Venice had such a powerful emotional output that Shylock seemed painfully human instead of a monstrous caricature. The way they focused on the play-within-a-play aspect of Taming of the Shrew, which most neglect, added another dimension of motivation to all the characters and made a traditional problem play make perfect sense. The ASP is the only theater group I buy season tickets for, and I always look forward to their new shows.
