Best of Madison 2025 Winners

Madison Magazine

Thank you for voting APT Best Performing Arts Group!

We’re cutting loose with the 2025 Best of Madison winners, some of whom attended Madison Magazine’s prom-themed photoshoot to celebrate. We set the stage with food, music and a dance floor, and it turned into a night to remember filled with sparkly moments, grand entrances, after-party pizza and a punch bowl that was most definitely spiked (we have photographic evidence).

These partygoers are among the 453 people, places and businesses you named the best in our 44th annual readers’ poll — let’s hear it for our winners!
