Not to be confused with Gaiety Theatre, Boston (1908).

The Gaiety Theatre (1878-1882) of Boston, Massachusetts, was located on Washington Street on the block between West and Avery Streets.[1] J. Wentworth oversaw its operations.[2] It occupied the former Melodeon.[3] The Gaiety's 800-seat auditorium featured "walls and ceiling ... panelled in pink, with buff, gold and purple borders; the balcony fronts ... bronze, gray, and pink."[4] In 1882 it became the Bijou Theatre.[5]
