The Boulder Theater is not the kind of place you go to get loaded on cheap beer and talk through a performance. Audiences in the palatial, art-deco-style hall come to actually listen to music, and for good reason: The historic theater's schedule is so well-rounded, there really is something for everyone. An eclectic mix of funk, jazz, hip-hop and rock performances and dynamic high-concept shows from local and national artists help fill the Boulder nights. This lovely, historic space offers as much for your eyes as it does for your ears.
