A PEEK AT THE PAST
Taking the Mystery Out of Boston History
COLONIAL THEATRE
O
fficially known as the Emerson Colonial Theatre, Boston’s oldest existing theater has been in near-continuous use since it debuted in 1900. Recently renovated under the auspices of current owner Emerson College and operator, the London-based Ambassador Theatre Group (ATG), the Colonial Theatre is perhaps the Hub’s most legendary venue for live shows. Ensconced in an office building on a site formerly occupied by the Boston Public Library and designed by renowned theater architect Clarence Blackall, the richly appointed venue opened to the public on December 20, 1900 for the local run of the 1899 Broadway hit Ben-Hur. That massive show was a huge sensation, boasting a cast of 360 and a chariot race with eight horses right on stage—not to mention future British Prime Minister Winston Churchill as an audience member. Despite a brief period where early silent films were shown, the Colonial became famous in its heyday for being the first home to musicals and plays that went on to all-time great status. Among these productions were the pre-Broadway versions of Anything Goes (1934), Porgy and Bess (1935), Oklahoma! (then known as Away We Go!, 1943), Follies (1971) and La Cage aux Folles (1983).
One infamous incident in 1978 during the try-out of Dancin’ involved iconic choreographer and director Bob Fosse, who chipped an onyx table in the ladies’ room lounge while demonstrating a tap routine on top of it. The damaged spot soon became a lucky charm for visiting crew members, who often came by to touch it. The Colonial—a survivor of the Depression, the advent of film and television, falling out of favor as a pre-Broadway stop and multiple renovations—found itself at a crossroads in 2015, when, once again in need of millions of dollars of repairs, its future as a theater palace was in doubt. After Emerson’s plan to use the space for a student center was scrapped, a partnership between the school and ATG was forged to re-open the theater and revive its status as a prime stopover on the road to the Great White Way. The completed refurbishments eventually led to the world premiere of recent Broadway transfer Moulin Rouge! The Musical in July 2018, followed by a slew of shows, live concerts and other forms of entertainment since then. The 2019–2020 season opens with David Byrne’s American Utopia (refer to listing, page 20), which moves to New York in October. —Scott Roberto

HUBBUB
ITALIAN IMPORT
As summer lets out its last gasp, the people of Boston’s own “Little Italy,” the North End, are usually sweeping up the last of the confetti from the frequent open-air religious festivals that take place annually in the neighborhood’s streets. Last year, however, the season was extended just one weekend longer with the addition of the San Gennaro Feast (refer to listing, page 20) to the end of the schedule. Inspired by the one in New York City, where it has been a staple since 1926, the festival returns September 13–15, celebrating the patron saint of Naples, Italy with marching bands, live music, delicious food and an Italian-made, jewelencrusted bronze bust of the saint blessed by the Pope himself that is proudly marched up and down the North End’s thoroughfares.

DRESSED FOR SUCCESS
Boston Fashion Week (refer to listing, page 19) enters its landmark 25th year when it returns September 22–28. Officially kicking off with the Boston Fashion IRL celebration at the Mandarin Oriental Boston, which boasts a photo exhibit, a live fashion presentation and an introduction to the future of fashion and virtual reality, the week also encompasses fashionrelated storytelling, student and professional runway shows and a closing reception at Salem’s Peabody Essex Museum (refer to listing, page 47), which unveils the venerable institution’s first permanent fashion and design installation. PHOTOS (TOP TO BOTTOM): MATTHEW J. CONTI/MATTCONTI.COM, MICHAEL J. CLARKE
FERMENTATION CELEBRATION
On September 19 from 6–9 p.m., the Lenox Hotel (61 Exeter St., 617-536-5300, lenoxhotel.com) becomes suds central when it hosts the second annual Back Bay Battle of the Breweries. For a $70 ticket, the sociable gathering of craft brew aficionados offers a special tasting glass, live music, hors d’oeuvres from the hotel’s chef and unlimited fourounce pours from more than 20 New England brewers—including Castle Island in Norwood, Idle Hands in Malden, Night Shift in Everett and Lord Hobo in Woburn, along with returning champion, Braintree’s Widowmaker—as well as a smattering of cider makers for good measure. Besides bragging rights, the winner of an audience vote earns the right to take over the taps of the Lenox’s bars and restaurants for a night.
A STICKY SITUATION
A festival unlike any other, What the Fluff? (flufffestival. com) returns to Somerville’s Union Square September 21 from 3–7 p.m. Sporting the theme Fluff Travels: All Roads Lead to Fluff! for the 14th edition of the celebration of the invention of Marshmallow Fluff in the area in 1917, this year marks a slight change in the celebration’s footprint as ongoing construction has pushed the fun farther into the heart of Union Square. One thing that hasn’t changed, however, is the zany activities associated with What the Fluff?, including Fluff jousting, Fluff bowling, live music, appearances by the fabulous Flufferettes, a cooking contest and plenty of sweet and savory food options—all involving Marshmallow Fluff, naturally.
ROCKING THE BLOCK
Gratis pony rides on a city street? Yup, there’s that and much more at the annual block party hosted by South Street Diner (178 Kneeland St., 617-350-0028, southstreetdiner.com), the Leather District’s longtime 24/7 go-to spot for everything from brioche French toast and banana walnut pancakes to cheese quesadillas and specialty burgers served with toppings ranging from fried egg to avocado. Held just outside the restaurant on September 15 from 2–6 p.m., the family-friendly, no-cost event also offers face painting, cartoonists, ice cream and crowdpleasing tunes courtesy of DJ Spinelli. Owner Sol Sidell joins the festivities, personally handing out hot dogs, hamburgers and beverages to hundreds of his loyal customers—and anyone else that enjoys having a good time for free. —Scott Roberto MIDDLE PHOTO: COURTESY OF UNION SQUARE MAIN STREETS
