Nice place. Seats are small and a little crowded in the balcony. Would not want to be there if the place caught fire. It would be very difficult to get out of!

Seating guide and chart

Venue info

The Wilbur opened in 1914 on the site of the old Winthrop School for Girls and was named for theatre manager A.L. Wilbur.
Clarence H. Blackall designed it as Boston’s first playhouse in the American Colonial style, with a front portico copied from an 1837 Beacon Hill house.
The room is compact on purpose: every reserved seat sits close to the stage, a layout from before electric amplification.
It stands at 246 Tremont Street in the Theatre District. Comedy and music share the calendar.
There is no elevator. The mezzanine and balcony are reached by stairs; a lift serves the accessible restroom on the lower level.
