The Current Curtain Call: What's Playing Now?
As of today, July 10th, 2024, the stages of Boston are abuzz with a variety of shows. Here's a hot ticket rundown:
For the Classicists: Get ready to build a barricade (metaphorically, of course) with the iconic Les Mis�rables, gracing the Citizens Bank Opera House from August 13th to 25th.
Feeling Festive (Already?) Who doesn't love a good dose of holiday cheer in July? The Grinch himself makes a heart-warming (and hopefully not heart-stealing) appearance in How The Grinch Stole Christmas at the Wang Theater this December 10th through 23rd.
But wait, there's more! This is just a taste of what Boston has to offer. Keep those peepers peeled for upcoming tours of shows like Dear Evan Hansen, Funny Girl, and The Book of Mormon.

Beyond the Big Names: Boston's Hidden Gems
While the touring behemoths are all well and good, don't underestimate the power of Boston's local theater scene. Here's where you might find a hidden gem (or at least score tickets that won't break the bank!):
Smaller Theaters, Big Personalities: Check out productions at theaters like the Huntington or the ART (American Repertory Theater) for a more intimate experience.
College Capers: Don't forget about the vibrant theater programs at Boston's many universities! You might just snag a front-row seat for a steal.
Remember: Sometimes the best way to find a unique show is to explore and see what strikes your fancy.
Tip: The details are worth a second look.
FAQ: Your Musical Maneuver Manual
How to score the best seats? Patience, young grasshopper! Tickets for bigger shows can go fast, so be prepared to snag them online the second they go on sale (check the theater's website for details).
How to avoid a fashion faux pas? Unless it's a specific black-tie event, Boston theaters are pretty relaxed when it comes to dress code. But hey, if you wanna rock a sequined jumpsuit and a feather boa, more power to you!
Tip: Avoid distractions — stay in the post.
How to find out what's showing at local theaters? Many theaters have websites or social media pages that list their upcoming productions.
How to (respectfully) sing along? Let loose! Just be mindful of your fellow theatergoers and avoid becoming a one-person karaoke act.
QuickTip: Reading carefully once is better than rushing twice.
How to find parking? Boston parking can be a beast. Consider public transportation, ridesharing, or carpooling if you can.
So there you have it, the ultimate guide to navigating the musical landscape of Boston! Now get out there, grab some popcorn (or maybe some classier theater snacks!), and prepare to be dazzled! Just remember, if you find yourself spontaneously bursting into song in public, blame it on the magic of the theater (we won't judge).
