Came in to watch Nimesh Patel, and he was fantastic! Hilarious and so happy we got a chance to see him live. 5 stars for his performance! The 1 star rating is on the actual hall. It was 92° outdoors and indoors too. People were drenched in their own sweat and a good portions of the audience with us on the mid level balcony seating were using the posters we got as makeshift paper fans to try and keep ourselves cool. Also the seating is pretty dreadful considering when i was seated, my knees were touching the back of the seat in front of me. I'm not even 6 feet tall!

Quaint and casual venue! Easy parking, easy ticket lines. Full service bar for a few drinks! Awesome place to catch a show!

A great intimate venue for a show. The seats are comfortable, the bathroom is clean (bring small bills to tip the attendant who keeps it that way), it's a beautiful building, the sound carries well from the stage to the mezzanine, drinks are permitted in the seats, but don't bring your own-bags are checked at the door, and a metal detector will find your steel vest flask. At midnight the ground floor becomes a club.

I'm taking the red line in Braintree. Is South Station the stop closer to the theater?

Martha Carneiro | May 20, 2022
Frederick Bernard Stewart | May 21, 2022

Downtown Crossing is the closest red line station but if you transfer to an orange line train heading to forest hills and go one stop to Chinatown you will be a short walk to the Wilbur Theater.

Where is the best place to park when going to the Wilbur theatre ?

Constance Noble | Mar 21, 2022

There is a paid parking lot across the street and a garage right next door. Other than that you would have to find street parking which may be tough.

Is it ok to bring my guitar to the Tommy Emmanuel show for him to sign?

Walter Bevis | Jun 20, 2018
Jamie Araujo | Jun 21, 2018

You should get special permission, and make arrangements for where to store it during the show. There is limited space in the general seating and I would not be pleased if the person next to me was crowding me out with his guitar.

I got balcony row D seats 13 and 15 when I purchased two consecutive tickets?? Are my seats not together?

Kaitlyn Hobson | Jun 20, 2018
Justin So | Jun 21, 2018

They are together. Theaters generally put odd number seats on one side and even one the other, so that it's easier for the staff to point audience to the correct seating.

Is there a dress code for the theater?

Lisa LaBelle | Jun 20, 2018

No. Casual
