Pabst Theater Tickets
Pabst Theater in downtown Milwaukee is one of several performance venues on the river. Pabst Theater is notable for being the fourth oldest continuously operating theater in the United States, first opening in 1895, and is the oldest of the theaters in the city's theater district. The Pabst Theater replaced the Das Neue Deutsche Stadt-Theater (The New German City Theater) that was destroyed by fire earlier that year. The opulent Pabster Theater, which was designed in German Renaissance that represents the German-American culture common in the area, is sometimes called the Grande Olde Lady because of its age. In the past, the Pabst Theater would show silent films that were accompanied by the theater's organ, which was crafted by M. P. Moller. The theater's early guests include actor Laurence Olivier and ballerina Anna Pavlova, and it currently puts on comedy and musical as acts such as OK Go, Righteous Brothers and Judas Priest.
