Check out the schedule of shows at the Citi Emerson Colonial Theater, and make a date to go. This theatre is the oldest continuously operating theater in New England - it opened in December of 1900. This theatre is one of Boston's true historical , well-known, must-visit places.
"In the early and mid 20th century, Boston was considered a launching pad for Broadway producers to try out new productions before bringing them to New York. Boston theatergoers were treated to a sneak peek of many well-known Broadway shows at the Colonial including Anything Goes, Porgy and Bess, Oklahoma!, Annie Get Your Gun, and La Cage aux Folles."
As of July 2012, Citi Performing Arts Center (nonprofit) has taken of the operations of the theatre, and have an agreement with Broadway In Boston to book shows. This will ensure that this Boston tradition is continued on and remains a historic home.
