Riverside Theater
The Riverside Theater in Milwaukee, Wisconsin is a beautiful, historic venue directly beside the Milwaukee River. With a capacity of almost 2,500, the Riverside currently hosts a wide range of live performances including stand-up comedy, well-known bands and orchestral renditions of famous movie scores.
Glamorous features like chandeliers and an elaborate gilt ceiling give the Riverside Theater a ‘wow’ factor that you’ll frequently find noted in reviews. In fact, the Riverside dates to 1928, when it began its life as a venue for vaudeville shows – and you can still see that era’s sumptuous style in its décor today.
As the age of vaudeville ended, the Riverside increasingly hosted other types of live performance and operated as a movie theater too. Then, in the 1980s, it was refurbished for a new beginning in live performance. A series of refurbishments over the years have continued to keep it up to date for the next generation of visitors.
The Riverside’s location on West Wisconsin Ave is in the heart of downtown Milwaukee. In other words, it’s close to a wealth of great spots to visit, including museums, restaurants and hotels within easy walking distance. If you’re looking to spend a weekend enjoying music or comedy in the city, you might also want to visit the Bradley Symphony Center a few minutes up the street or the Pabst Theater just across the river. To the southeast of the Riverside Theater is Milwaukee’s Historic Third Ward – a district of the city known for arts and creativity, where you can find more great things to see and do.
