Medora Musical FAQS
Have questions about your upcoming visit? We’ve gathered answers to the most common questions to help you plan ahead. If you don’t see what you need, please reach out before your visit.
The Medora Musical is performed live and outside. That means we experience North Dakota’s weather – from stunning sunsets to sudden showers. Our team makes every effort to present each performance as fully as possible while keeping our guests and performers safe.
Because North Dakota weather can change quickly, shows are never canceled in advance. If weather impacts your performance, please watch your email for real-time updates from our team regarding delays or changes.
If a show is canceled or stopped due to weather, shows lasting less than 60 minutes are considered “rained out.”
For any rained-out performance, each paid ticket holder will receive two vouchers, valid for any Medora Musical performance this year or next year.
If your show is rained out, you’ll receive an email with a form to request your vouchers. You may also call 1-800-MEDORA-1 or stop by the Medora Musical Welcome Center, Ticket Junction, or the front desk of our lodging partners (Rough Riders Hotel, Hotel 1883, Badlands Motel, Elkhorn Quarters, or Medora Campground) for assistance.
We encourage guests to book early to secure the best seats available. Tickets may be purchased online, or by calling 1-800-MEDORA-1. If tickets remain available, they may be purchased on the day of the event at the Medora Musical Welcome Center, Ticket Junction, or the front desk of our lodging partners (Rough Riders Hotel, Hotel 1883, Badlands Motel, Elkhorn Quarters, or Medora Campground). Will call tickets may be picked up at any of these locations prior to the performance.
