Coming to major Milwaukee venues this Fall

Wisconsinites enjoy entertainment at many levels, prices and places. This year’s preview of the 2016–17 performing arts season focuses on the largest and best-known performing arts groups and venues in Milwaukee and Madison, but they’re just the tip of the iceberg in a state with a remarkable array of options, from Racine to Bayfield, La Crosse to Door County. In addition, UWM and UW-Madison feature a host of quality performances on campus.

We begin with some of the mega venues in the metro Milwaukee area.
