Majestic Theatre

The Majestic Theatre is Madison, Wisconsin’s oldest theatre, opening on December 15, 1906 as a vaudeville theatre. Over the years, everything from silent movies to the shows of Harry Houdini have graced this historic stage. There were even a few years where the theatre showed movies that featured the letter “X” rather prominently after the title. After a brief incarnation as a dance club, the Majestic Theatre has returned to its show business roots — this time as a world-class live performing arts venue. Beyond live music, the Majestic also features stand up comedy, theme parties such as our infamous 80’s vs. 90’s retro dance party, and “Brew n’ View” movies from time to time. And who knows we may even host an occasional burlesque show now and then to liven things up. The point is that we genuinely hope to turn our city into a more expressive and fulfilled cultural center. And we hope you’ll visit us regularly to enjoy the artistic offerings we bring you. There’s a lot of great live music to discover, and no one can disagree: Beer Tastes Better in the Front Row.
