The Wang Theatre (formerly the Metropolitan Theatre), along with the Shubert Theatre, the two theatres operated by the non-profit Wang Center for the Performing Arts has been converted into a grandiose performing arts center that, until spring of 2005, delighted movie audiences with ocasional showings of classic films.
A theater whose beauty is really the ‘big’ thing, the Wang Theatre has state-of-the-art sound technology along with beautiful decorations and gold plated figures. It also features a large stage, with the auditorium containing a 1,500 seat balcony, a mezzanine, and 20 box seats along its edge.

In a 1918 Boston street directory, the site of the Wang Th., between the Wilbur Th. and Hollis St., was occupied by the New Richword Hotel.
Great shots of the Wang Theatre.
thanks Chuck,Great pictures.
I was allowed to photograph the inside of this magnificent theatre last Friday. I have uploaded the few that I have had time to process here. Wow, what an amazing theatre!
I was downtown yesterday and noticed a crew and crane working at the front of the Shubert Theatre directly across from the Wang. Looks like they have torn down the top half of the Shubert’s facade. What’s that all about??? The Shubert will be 102 years old in January and is in very good condition. Unfortunately, it’s dark most of the time due to lack of product.
Seventy-five years ago today, Paramount’s “Maid of Salem,” a B&W historical drama set in Puritan times, opened its world premiere engagement at the Metropolitan Theatre. Claudette Colbert and Fred MacMurray starred in the tale of suspected witchcraft. Topping the Metropolitan’s stage show was Cockney/British character actor and comedian Herbert Mundin, supported by Radcliff & Rogers, the Picchiani Troupe, Dale Winthrop, and the resident Dancing Starlettes. On weekdays from morning opening until 1:00pm, the Metropolitan charged 35 cents for all seats.
