    I've been to two plays here and both were excellent. It's a really nice thearter with no bad seats. I saw "No Way to Treat a Lady" and recently we saw "Dirty Blonde". Both were musicals and the sound was great in this thearter also. We enjoyed the show!!

    Casual is find. We go across the street afterward to the Hard Rock Cafe for dinner and there's no need to "dress up".

    We're just walking thru Copley here after see a play at the Lyric Stage and then having dinner afterward at Skip Jack's. The walk back to the "T" is nice. I know there's plently of other nightlife, but I'm not the one that goes out at night much. I'll leave that kind of advise to the younger crowd!

    Theater, Performance & Cinema: Though not comparable to New...
  • Tip Rating:
  • Though not comparable to New York, live theater flourishes in Boston. A favorite: The Blue Man Group. Think of this show as a less-polished, but more viually appealing verision of Stomp. You won't be disappointed if you see it.
