Sound isn't the best if you're right up front. Staff will give you a hard time for taking photos so be subtle about it. Venue best for seated Older Person events; it can't handle rock shows.
The Wilbur is a great place to see non-music shows, particularly comedy shows; but the floor seats close the stage are a pain. Balcony seats are best, but don't offer all that much leg room.
It's nice that the theater is pretty small but if you are at the hightop tables with people in front of you at the same level, it's really hard to see. I really don't like when I can't see at a show.
Seating is a bit tight, but the venue brings in quality artists to make it worth the minor discomfort. Great, intimate spot to catch some stand-up comedy.
Agreeing with Emily about comedy seating. I had seats right next to the stage and I was miserable. Would have enjoyed the show a lot more in comfybalcony seats.
It is so unbelievably hot in this place that it is unbearable. Second time that I have almost walked out because if the heat. Paying too much to not have the temp control. Melting....
The Wilbur is the ultimate destination for comedy and music in Boston. It is a must for anyone looking to kick back and have a good laugh, or catch top national live music in the heart of Boston's historic theater district.
