About Emerson Colonial Theatre

The Emerson Colonial Theatre, located at 106 Boylston Street in Boston, Massachusetts, stands as a testament to the city’s vibrant performing arts heritage. Opened in 1900 and designed by the prominent architect Clarence Blackall, it is recognized as Boston’s oldest continuously operating theater. Initially, the venue made a grand entrance with a production of "Ben-Hur," captivating audiences with elaborate staging that included live horses. Over the years, the theater has played host to an array of significant performances, including the pre-Broadway debuts of iconic productions such as "Porgy and Bess," "Anything Goes," and "Oklahoma!" After a period of dormancy, the theater was reopened by Emerson College in 2018, launching with the much-anticipated premiere of "Moulin Rouge!" before its Broadway transfer.

Understanding the seating layout of the Emerson Colonial Theatre is vital for an optimal viewing experience. The venue features a unique theater design with various sections catering to different audience preferences. Each event may utilize a tailored seating chart, so it is essential to refer to the specific chart for the performance you wish to attend. The venue employs a performer selector feature that updates the seating chart and event list based on the artist scheduled to perform, ensuring you access the most relevant seating options available for your chosen event.
