I saw many plays here. For those in the D/HH community, they’re very accessible. They offer headphones that bring the performances to a whole new level. They offer many goodies, and concessions. A good safe place, it is, to appreciate performing arts.

The theater itself is nice and ushers are great. The production we were there for was able to put on an amazing show and special effects. The available bar service was much too expensive for barely a shot of alcohol in a drink. There was about 50 cents worth of liquor and$9.50 worth of ice!

I love this theatre, and am very happy that there is accessible seating options, but as a disabled person, the elevators need a serious upgrade! They are so slow! Also its very hard to use the bathroom during intermission, because all the able-bodied people dont go to the larger bathrooms on the second floor and instead cause a huge line at the bathroom near the accessible seating and wont let the obviously disabled people in ahead of them. It would be nice if there were designated separate accessible bathrooms, or even just signs near the smaller first floor bathroom directing able-bodied people to use the larger second floor bathroom. Id give four stars for a rating if the bathroom situation wasnt so hard on the disabled, because beyond that I really enjoy myself at the theatre.

We were woed. The experience reminded me of my child hood and am glad I was able to share the experience with my little ones.

Yesterday I went with my daughters to see The Lion King a full length Broadway musical making its tour at the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts in downtown Milwaukee. You are no longer in your seat, you are on the plains of the African Savannah surrounded by fascinating animals puppeteered by humans .The music of Circle of Life, Can you feel the love tonightand countless other songs are performed by an outstanding cast of singers and orchestra including the beat of the African drums that pulsate during the performance. The vibrant colorful costumes, the lively dancers transport you during this magnificent moment in time that I assure you will be a memory for years to come.

Ive been to the Marcus many a time and have always loved the shows. Im a twenty-something man and I have never been personally involved in the arts. But every time I go to a show with my wife here, Im surprised, engaged, and find a new love for the arts! This is a lovely place for the whole family and sometimes they have discounted tickets to attract young people as well.

Awesome Play (The Lion King!) Not a bad price for the seats, getting a beverage took a little bit, bartenders didnt know the rules with no bottles or what was available. Needed a bit more structure to move the line through faster.

Its a good theater in a busy, trendy part of town. They get some big name productions and all the seats in the house are good. But the theater itself feels dated, the bathroom situation is subpar and it just feels like it could do with a good remodel. Granted it would cost a fortune but its needed. The attached parking option is a lifesaver, especially during the weekend.

We had excellent seats that work too highly priced. We were able to meet with some of the cast afterwards. Add by some memorable items in remembrance of The Nutcracker LA! It was a beautiful night and we enjoyed ourselves immensely!

Saw the Lion King last night. The show was excellent and the actors were suburb. It was well worth the price. We sat in the ADA section and were only 6 rows from the stage.

Great seeing a show here. Can be very crowded and bathroom lines can be very long.

Good prices for concessions!! Cozy size with a cool design

Nora bad seat in the house, Lion King was out of this world great

I have seen the ballet, symphony, and many a musical here. The seats are comfortable, and the theater is gorgeous. I love the light fixture here. The acoustics are pretty good. I like the clever cocktails they create prior to the musicals!

The Nutcracker at the PAC was incredible this year! A different storyline to a classic ballet with awesome talent. Our seats were higher that we have previously sat, but we had a great view!

Saw Hamilton. Fantastic performance. Our seats were great. Very comfortable and roomy. The Marcus PAC is neat, clean with great facilities and convenient parking. A great place to see a play.

Lion King final show was excellent. We were lucky to have received the VIP deal which got us great seats, a lion king bag, book, and DVDs for my boys.

TLDR; great venue, parking is awful so Uber, during intermission get in line at the bar immediately cause theyre slow.Im giving it 5 stars because I loved The Lion King and it translated well in this venue. My only complaint is that the vocals during the songs were hard to hear over the music. They needed to mix that a little better, the lyrics were hard to pinpoint. We sat in the box seats so it was a great view and comfortable setting. During intermission getting a refresher on drinks too to long, so they need to have more than one person running the bar. If you park in the garage get there early, do not park on the top! You will have to wait an hour for the cars below you to clear out.

Went to see Lion King musical. Great venue for the show. Cozy and easy access atmosphere since it is not outrageously large.

Can tell this place is getting a little dated. I find myself coming here at least twice a year and compared to similar venues around the country, its about due for some upgrades....from the common areas to the seating. In particular, this was my first time in recent memory that I sat somewhere other than orchestra level in Uihlein Hall. Due to the lateness in getting our tickets we had upper-level seating, and I was not impressed with the sight lines to the stage. This could/should be improved upon as part of any renovation/upgrade project. But age notwithstanding, Im happy we have such a venue to experience first-class live entertainment. The performances here have always been top notch. This includes the other smaller theaters in the complex. My favorite is Todd Wehr theater....not a bad seat in the house, and a perfect intimate setting for First Stage productions.

This has always been my favorite concert hall in downtown Milwaukee. It doesn’t have the ornate architecture or rich tradition of some of the other concert venues in this city, but I like the acoustics here, and I’ve always been a fan and supporter of the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra.Alas, the MSO is moving to its own venue about a mile south of here, but that doesn’t mean there’s not going to still be great performances happening in this storied venue. It has comfortable seating, room for more than 1000 people, and plenty of parking even though it’s in a crowded downtown area.My only worry about this location is that some of the facility’s officials are contemplating the destruction of the lovely grove of chestnut trees and park benches on the south side of the building, which was designed by architect who was inspired by the Paris Tuileries gardens. It would be a tragedy if this nicely matured area of shade trees and benches, placed there 30 years ago specifically for quiet contemplation, are destroyed in the name of “progress.”Go visit there before the trees are gone and replaced by an inexplicable plot of boring grass, and then see what concerts are coming to town, because no matter what happens to the outside of this modern concert hall, you’ll certainly want to attend another one of the great performances inside this beautiful building.

Would not recommend going to a show at the Marcus Center during the winter. There was a larger than expected snowstorm on the day of our show so I called into the ticketing office and asked if I could transfer my tickets to another show date. I was told that NO refunds or exchanges were being offered. The customer service reps I talked to were both short and unfriendly. Their advice to me was that I should be fine driving in as the plows do a good job in Milwaukee, and that the snow wasnt that bad. I told them I do not like driving in bad weather and they then told me that I should just sell my tickets on ticketmaster. Bad Wisconsin winter weather is stressful enough as is..was not impressed with the Marcus Center policy and attitude.

Update: Attended the 10/26 performance of Hamilton. This play rocks on so many levels. Simply stellar. Uihlein Hall served the performance well. Sound system was not quite up to the task for such an aggressive and complicated score. It got better during the show.Overall a wonderful time and we thoroughly enjoyed it.Still a nice venue for a show ...next renovation Id like to suggest adding a center aisle to aid access.

Went to see The Elf at first stage. Always a great experience. Snacks at intermission are always good and low cost

Great venue. Ive seen a couple of musicals there and the staff is great. Good sound and great visibility from everywhere.

Saw Broadways The Lion King. It was AMAZING, the acoustics: Fantastic, seating: Amazing, overall feel of the place: Comfortable and Fun. Would go see another show there again.

The accommodations were not wheel chair accessible. My daughter spent the first half of the program in the box office, my grand daughter had to stand the first half. Wheel chair was too wide to got behind a row of seats.

Beautifully built. Sounded great inside. Bathrooms need an upgrade.

We saw a midsummer nights dream ballet on an afternoon matinee.Our show was lovley and the performance was amazing. The dancers are incredible, skilled athletes that leap around on airThe sets are simple moving pieces but made with extraordinary detail and costumes are gorgeous. The music is so beautiful but in case you didnt know, its all slow quiet classical music.So here are my tips. I highly advise a night show if you want to actually enjoy the program. The matinee brings a huge amount of tired, bored little kids.It was really warm in the theater and there were a lot of children! Through the whole performance there were several ongoing (as in every 5-8 minutes) screaming and crying children and it was disturbing and annoying. The parents made no effort to calm them or take them out for a minute and the rest of us listened to the screaming through the entire performance. Im sure it makes it difficult for the performers because the theatre is so quiet you hear every sound amplified. Why parents feel its ok to ruin it for everyone else Im not sure. But sitting in a quiet, dark theater with soft music for a minimum of an hour 30 min to two hours is not going to be tolerable or interesting for any small kid, so please, please if your kid is under 7 dont bring them. Its not an event they will enjoy. Its not a childrens idea of fun. Its not flashy, bright, with any silly characters. There are no sparkly lights, or catchy songs. Its a 2 hour ballet and small children will not understand the story or even the language which is not modern english. That being said. If your an adult that wants to enjoy the talented artists go for it. Just go at night.

Always fun taking students to experience culture. The Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra does an amazing job with their kid friendly shows.

The theater is very nice and The Lion King was just outstanding. The sets were great and the costumes were unbelievable!

Beautiful place, we saw The Lion King, no bad seats, prices vary, but always worth it !!

Was the first time Ive been there for my Nephews wedding. Was an amazing and beautiful venue!

This is a stalwart in the Milwaukee Performance and Entertainment world. It is one of the larger venues in the city, and in many ways, serves as the leading location for larger performing arts tours. The house provides reasonably good acoustics for most seats, as well as good (if sometimes distant) views.

Went to a lovely concert there! The atmosphere was very nice and the music was beautiful.

We bought 3 tickets for Sunday February 9 performance of The Lion King. We had a bad snow storm come through and could not safely drive from Waukesha to Milwaukee that evening. When my daughter called to see if we could exchange our tickets we were told no. They would not give any kind of a refund or exchange on the tickets. I feel that I am not sure I want to give any more of my business to this company.

We had a very nice time taking my little granddaughter to see the Nut Cracker.

The Lion King was hands down one of the best musicals I have ever seen.

We saw Come From Away. Excellent seats, very nice theater!

Always a class act, so to speak! Great seats, great performance, well done! Worth coming to whatever performance is offered there! Will be back!

It had been years I was actually there for a job interview for an open position..sadly I did not get thw job but the inside was clean warm and full of life. The view of arrow park only reminded be of the beginning of black lives matter... This can be scene crom the VIP section blocked off by velvet ropes..

I apprrciated that the show was well organized and staffed for ushers and other staff. Bathrooms were clean and well marked. The elevators were limited though. And the stairwells were also limiting for large crowds trying to egress all at once.

Great seats at a great price. Im finding myself going to Milwaukee vs Chicago. Only weird item. Long rows and no isles.

I love that we have such a great accessible theater in Appleton! Service is always excellent, and they have a wide variety of top notch shows that compare with what youd get in a bigger city.

Though the show was great the venue was just OK. The acoustics were questionable on the main (Orchestra) floor, and there are no aisles meaning that one must climb over numerous people to access seating near the center. Overall I am satisfied, but there is significant room for improvement.

Beautiful venue. I was here chaperoning a field trip and the kids loved it.

We saw Hamilton here. Great show....but the real heroes are the staff. Theyre kind, knowledgeable, and fast service at the bars!

Hamilton show was fantastic. Seats were comfortable (upper middle loge). Easy to get to, plenty of parking.

We were in Box seats and had a fantastic view with great listening for Hamilton! There was space to relax and enjoy and take in the experience...

Beautiful center,great staff. Love the skywalk to the parking garage.

It makes me proud that Milwaukee supports Fine Arts like this. There is nothing like a good live performance.

Beautiful place and every staff member we encountered was friendly and helpful!

Seats were well placed. Easy to navigate

I think that the young performers did a phenomenal job. Very enjoyable.

Beautiful setting. Every seat has a great view

Quality Broadway touring shows, easy parking structure across the street, great seats, delicious snacks, clean bathrooms

Always a great place to see a performance. On this date it was our third viewing of Book of Mormon. We have seen many productions here. Parking isnt too bad, we usually park across the street with the hotel parking, price is pretty good. The walk is easy and quick. There is parking attached to the theatre we just figure that one probably fills up pretty fast.

A wonderful experience! Its always worth seeing a show here when I get a chance. Pro-tip, grab a drink at one of the nearby bars after the show to avoid traffic as people depart. Ive occasionally run into actors from the show and had some great post show conversations with them or other theater goers.

Went to see hamilton. Great musical! Easy in and easy out. Employees were very nice and helpful.

Good production of Anastasia. The room is cool so if you like it warm plan appropriately. The parking structure cost 1 star as you sit in gridlock until everyone ahead of you gets to the top and comes back down.

Always a great show!! Still need to upgrade their sound system though ... geez that really brings down a show when you cant understand the performers. I pay top price for box seats to each show ... I would hope for better!!

Great venue but need more womens bathrooms on upper floors

I love coming here for various different Broadway shows. Not a bad seat in the house! I love that each show gets a customized drink.

Beautiful auditorium well suited for large shows, theater, ballet, orchestra etc. We had the opportunity to visit for the first time to see the Nutcracker ballet by the Milwaukee ballet company. The ballet company is as good as any other well known company can be. The choreography was outstanding and different from the classic Nutcrackers.The set design and lighting was excellent. All of Milwaukee should be very proud of such a great company.

Nice venue. Over priced bar drinks. Mostly great shows on stage

The only problem is they have very few gluten free choices.

Loved the seats. Sit Anywhere and you will be ok

Visuals were great and the sound top notch. Not a bad seat in the house

Buying tickets in person directly at the box office is super helpful! Not only does it save quite a bit in service fees, it is also nice to discuss which seats have a better view. Have attended several different events here and its always high quality. Beautiful theater.

We had great seats in the balcony with no one in front of us. Staff was helpful from buying tickets at the box office to going is to our seats. It was super quick and easy to park in the adjacent structure and get to our seats with time to spare before the show. Overall great experience. Im looking forward to coming back for another show!

Great place to see a show,,if you are over 6ft.4in.,legs might be a little crowded,, watched Hamilton,great show

Lovely venue - all seats are good seats, parking can be troublesome and we had a lot of trouble leaving the venue during a course of bad weather. There are no coverings for pedestrians who did not park in the lot. The lot is very costly and I live nearby so I always take an Uber/Lyft/Taxi. It would be nice to have a place to wait for my ride that isnt out in the cold/rain/snow/wind etc.

Beautiful building with attentive staff. Moderate prices on snacks. Comfortable seats. A great place to see a show.

This place is really cool looking and was very fun to perform at.

The King and I was wonderful!! I always enjoy my theatre experience at the Marcus! I just wish theatre etiquette was more widely followed. Especially the accepted etiquette of 15-20 years ago....when it was a bit more strict.

We saw The Lion King, we had fantastic seats! The show was fantastic!

Great size! Not too big but not too small. Makes it easy to get drinks and go to the bathroom during intermissions. Very impressed by theset and graphics. They where the best Ive seen. Only complaint was that I asked one of the security guys where a bathroom was. He said yes then proceeded to not tell me until I had to ask, are you going to tell me?. He treated me very coldly while Im trying not to pee in my dress.

This has been a pleasant venue for many organizations including the MSO. Rigut-sized for its community and events. Good location with joined park garage.

Have been here a few times over the years, most recently for an MSO show, which was a great experience. Walked a bit for parking, but that was by choice. Theater is getting older, but thats part of the experience I guess.

Have seen many great plays and musical performances there.

Wonderful venue to see the ballet! We wenr and saw 50th anniversary opening of Coppelia, and it was amazing. Catch a show if youre in town!

Nice venue for really great plays featuring great new artists. Downtown location with parking available nearby.

I very much like the PAC. First, it has easy access with cheap parking garage next door. Second, seating is comfortable, with good sight lines to stage from most any seat. Third, always comfortable...never too hot, never too cold. Just right. Fourth, usher guide you to seat efficiently. Only downside...not a fan of European seating...there should be aisle down middle... especially if seated in center of row.

Its so fun to sing there!!! Beautiful facilities

I recently attended a wedding here.It is a beautiful venue with great views. The staff, for the most part, was pleasant and helpful. There is a parking deck right across the street, I do not know if it normally free for events (we had passes).The food was exceptional for banquet/reception food. I do not know if it was catered in or provided by the venue.The biggest downside is that apparently the venue is not well designed to have multiple events going on at the same time. We were repeatedly told the reception had to be kept quiets to avoid disturbing a performance below.

Beautiful theater. Wonderful staff.

We went as a family to see The Nutcracker. What an amazing place and what an amazing show. Truly professional! Not only the orchestra but the dancers!

The Lion King was magical! The venue is great !

Absolutely love coming here

The production of Hamilton they have going on right now is very good

Season ticket pops series holder for 15 years. Needs a bit more modern material. Even from the sixties and up. Material from the twenty and thirties is almost 100 years ago! Will attract more people. Half of the theater was empty last week.

A nice venue for upscale theater productions as well as music of all types and dance

Terrific show with talented cast. Comfortable venue and easy access.

Beautiful theater. It has been a Milwaukee icon for years. Its a great home for all the wonderful shows that come to it. Theres great parking in the adjacent parking structure connected via skywalk on the third story. I recently saw The Phantom of the Opera there.

Saw Phantom of the Opera here and it did not disappoint! Excellent performance. The music was incredible and the orchestra fantastic! The facility is getting a little outdated with the same seating. Its comfortable enough for a two hour performance but if youre sitting on the end, you almost have to get up to let others through. Still doesnt detract from the performance unless you have someone really tall in front of you, and then its hard to see. They pack a lot of people in there but are able to get them in and out quickly!

Marvelous place to perform, I enjoyed it very much.

Great venue, confortable seats, great acoustics, found street parking nearby, a wonderful experience to see Hamilton in Milwaukee.

Hadnt been here in many years having moved away. Concert was excellent. I cant wait to go back

Nice small outdoor theater. Good band Heartache Tonight always rocks

Great place to watch the performing arts. We enjoyed the Lion King, A Christmas Carol and many other performances. Beautiful interior and very nostalgic atmosphere.
