The Aladdin Theater:Fun for the Whole Family. Sometimes.

It originally staged theater. Then they exhibited Family movies. Through natural progression (thats a joke) they went to porno in the 70's and 80's. Now, the Aladdin Theater has come full circle as an institution for performance arts.

The Aladdin Theater, located south east Milwaukee, was originally opened in 1926 and known as Geller's Theater. By 1934, it had changed the name out front to "The Aladdin Theater."

Though it has underwent small cosmetic improvements, the Aladdin Theater is largely unchanged throughout its 86 year run.

After an exterior renovation in 1991, The Aladdin became a venue primarily for live musical performances. Since then they have produced up and coming acts such as Rufus Wainright and Nelly Furtado.
