Since coming to town a decade ago to revive Boston [1] as a tryout town for New York [2], Broadway Across America (866/523-7469, www.broadwayacrossamerica.com [3]) has breathed new life into the Theater District [4], staging plays that always garner buzz, even if they don’t always deliver.
Its flagship theater is the Colonial Theatre (106 Boylston St., 617/246-9366, www.bostonscolonialtheatre.com [5]), a restored space with colorful history that now stages exciting Broadway-bound productions.
In addition, the newly renovated Opera House (539 Washington St., 617/259-3400, www.bostonoperahouse.com [6]) is giving the Wang a run for its money with a 2,500-seat venue for mainstream musicals such as The Lion King and The Phantom of the Opera.
