Parking Near Wang Theatre

Located on Tremont Street within Boston's famous Theater District, the Wang Theatre has a rich and storied history. First built in 1925 as the Metropolitan Theatre, this cathedral-like structure was inspired by Louis XIV of France's palace. Designed by Max Shoolman and architects Clarence Blackall and C. Howard Crane, this enormous theater was considered one of the grandest at the time. With its gilded moldings, expansive murals, imported marble columns and doorways, and shimmering crystal chandeliers, it provided a stunning backdrop for motion pictures, big bands, and vaudeville acts of its day. Over time, it would change its name and purpose. Finally, in the 1980s, the theater was fully restored to its original glory to serve as the venue for musicals and other live-action shows.

Today, the theater is part of the Boch Center, along with the Shubert Theatre across the street. Still exhibiting its original and fully restored palatial grandeur, the theater is home to several types of performances, including comedy acts, musicals, concerts, interactive shows for children, and innovative dance performances.

The space has room for 3,500 patrons per show and is considered one of the five largest stages in the world. Not only can you attend shows there, but this historic landmark is also open for public and private behind-the-scenes tours. Nearby, you'll find a variety of restaurants, many of which offer a discount when you present your ticket for that day's show.

The Theater District is one of the busiest sections of Boston, and parking is scarce in this area beloved by patrons of the arts. So don't be late for your show at the Wang Theatre while frantically trying to secure a parking spot. Instead, book your parking with SpotHero beforehand so you know that a spot will be waiting for you when you arrive.
