Boston has a rich performing arts history that dates back to 1794, when Charles Bulfinch designed the city's first playhouse. Today, there are several theaters around Boston, including the Wang Theatre. Located in the historic Theatre District, it was first known as the Metropolitan Theatre, then the Music Hall, before becoming the Wang Theatre in the early 1980s. At that time, the theatre was restored to its glory days of the 1920s, and since then, it has broken box office records with musicals such as The Phantom of the Opera and Les Miserables. The theatre holds 3,500 people and it has one of the largest stages in the United States. If you would like to watch a live performance, upcoming shows include: TruTV Impractical Jokers "Santiago
