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.

I like one of their theaters to see everything they saw acting and very special appearance to them... in Marcus Centers.

All Actors, workers who plays the all the events, All Special Events, that hasn't Include Wake up services that helds on Thursday - Saturdays this afternoons.

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 isn't 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.

I just love this place. I've seen so many things here, the ballet, the symphony orchestra, musicals, plays, fashion shows, I even played here when I was in MYSO. It is a great facility with a beautiful interior. There are always great things playing here no matter what art form you are interested in, dance, theater, or music. This place does a wonderful job of catering to your artistic tastes.

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.

I went to see Beauty and the beast ballet last night with a dancer friend. If you were expecting the same story line as the movie, you would be disappointed. I came into the ballet with an open mind and enjoyed the story line! Very different yet appealing! We went to the Thursday night showing which also meant a different cast. I did feel the main soloist lacked the flexibility of some of the other dancers, however her lines were for days. I was still entranced by the story line and movement of the lead. The very flexible left stage sister did a remarkable performance! Her flexibility and lines were well received. From a former dancer I understand the hard work and dedication this piece took for everyone involved. It was a wonderful performance.

Well maintained moderne style theater with excellent staff. A variety of viewing perspectives available with the seat selection. Always a pleasure to visit. My only wish is that there were more bartenders slinging drinks at intermission.

One of the best venues for performances in MKE. Avoid the cheaper 3rd teer seating if you can. Take a walk around the place during intermission. Nice city and river views. Attached parking garage allows you to avoid bad weather.

Saw the MSO Xmas Pops Show. The MSO is always good. Andreas Delfs conducted, and he brought just the right amount of flair and crowd interaction for a Pops concert. I would have liked to hear more traditional carols, but I'm old-fashioned. The crowd was pleased, and most seemed to have a good time.

Great

Kinda haphazard layout. Decent acoustics. Overall good line of sight. Comfortable seating and aisle space. Too bad the folks in the Milwaukee area don't give better support to the finer arts like the Florentine. Probably 1/3rd of seats were empty for a great performance!

Facility is very nice. Saw the Beautiful! Carol King Story and had a good time. They only complaint is the time it takes to empty out the parking garage, but not much that can probably be done about that.

The facilities here are fantastic. The wife and I see the MSO here regularly along with other shows a few times a year.
We have yet to have a bad seat, having sat in the front, in the box seats, on the loge, both sides, and recently in the balcony.
The one confusing part is that when entering the facility through the attached parking lot we need to go past the ticket taker to get to the box office.

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 I'd like to suggest adding a center aisle to aid access.

I'm glad the symphony will have a new home. The Marcus has never seemed that great to me. Seats are reasonably comfortable and the rows are not smashed together too much, but sightlines aren't always that great, especially higher up. The decor also leaves something to be desired, a strange mix of original mid century and updated mid century that ends up seeming generic.

Saw Phantom of the Opera and the production was fantastic. The overall atmosphere of the venue was very comfortable and the main stage was pleasantly cool the entire time especially considering the number of people in the room.

Beautiful venue that is a staple in milwaukee's downtown area. It has tons of details and a historic feel. There are very few bathrooms on the upper levels - I suggest that if you have to go during intermission to use the lower level. (At least for the womens line)

Nice.
