“Come From Away,” the Tony Award-winning musical and the inaugural production for the Associated Bank Theater Center, the Milwaukee Repertory Theater company’s $80 million rebuilt complex in downtown Milwaukee, has broken the Milwaukee Rep’s all-time sales record.
The show has surpassed the 2019 production of “West Side Story” to become the highest-grossing in the Milwaukee Rep’s history, with nearly $1.3 million in ticket sales.
Opening night for Come From Away at the Associated Bank Theater Center is Saturday. It will run through Dec. 14 in the newly renovated Ellen & Joe Checota Powerhouse Theater.
“Breaking our all-time sales record with Come From Away is more than a milestone, it’s a testament to the power of storytelling and the strength of this community,” said Chad Bauman, Ellen & Joe Checota executive director. “Audiences have embraced this show’s message of unity and kindness, and their overwhelming response affirms our belief that Milwaukee Rep’s new Associated Bank Theater Center is not just a building, it’s a beacon for world class theater in the Midwest.”
