Colonial Theatre (Copley/Boylston Street)

The Colonial Theatre at 106 Boylston Street opened in 1900 and is one of Boston's long-standing Broadway-style theaters. It underwent a major restoration in the early 2000s to accommodate large touring musicals and remains a primary venue in the Theatre District. The theater's marquee and programming have played a consistent role in shaping Boylston Street's cultural and entertainment identity.
