Wilson Theater at Vogel Hall — Attraction in Milwaukee

Intimate theater is so different from full stage productions. Seeing Million Dollar Quartet in this venue was perfect, from the sound to the seating.

She is very hard to please at times, just not this time. The next day we talked about how refreshing the whole experience was. The due diligence initiated at the door regarding masking brought comfort to us. Wonderful music and...

Went to Wilson Theater for a production of Romeo and Juliet, put on by the Milwaukee Repertory theater, and it was excellent! A few things to note: There will be lines for the bathroom. Just the way it is. There is a bubbler/water fountain, but it’s on the first floor before you go up the stairs for some reason. Also for some reason, we got shown to the wrong row, and that caused some confusion—but it was quickly resolved. Seats were great, bar seemed good, service was good, free street parking after 6 PM, and an amazing show from...
