Onstage

Dinner and a show are ridiculously easy to navigate in a city where good food and concert halls are within blocks of one another. Even as Madison’s popularity grows, its passionate arts and music scene remains accessible to all.

The Majestic

Just off Capitol Square on tree-lined King Street lies the Majestic, a pearl of a mid-size concert venue for comedians, musicians, dance parties, and the occasional screening of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Bring your own toast.
