Milwaukee Theatre

Wisconsin's premier destination theater.

The Milwaukee Theatre is a spectator-friendly “destination” theater with 4,100 seats in two sloped tiers, and built-in flexibility to offer an intimate setting for 2,500.

For attendees, The Milwaukee Theatre offers extensive space, plenty of restrooms, and generous disability access. At its “working” end is an amazing amount of rehearsal, dressing room and production space, a new stage and loading docks, and 21st century technology.

Tickets to Milwaukee Theatre and U.S. Cellular Arena events are sold at the Milwaukee Theatre Box Office, 500 W. Kilbourn Avenue, just inside the front vestibule. The regular hours shown here are box office hours.

Just across the street from the Wisconsin Center and near first-class hotels, it is an exceptional setting for convention assemblies and general sessions. Two carpeted side halls are perfect for executive sessions, receptions, banquets, press rooms and other uses.
