Since its renovation and reopening, the historic theatre continues to establish its place as an internationally recognized performing arts center and act as a catalyst for the economic development of downtown Worcester.
The Hanover Theatre brings Broadway, music and more to Worcester, offering a variety of world-class artists and performances that have included "Kinky Boots," "Jersey Boys," Jay Leno, Jerry Seinfeld, Aretha Franklin, Tony Bennett, John Legend, Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson, Disney Jr. Live and Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre.
