I go to the Wheeler every chance I get. The variety of shows is astounding...even Nobel physicists give talks there...Opra did her show from there. Lilly Langtree sang there. It has been wonderfully and lovingly restored and updated...excellent acoustics too. More

We went to see a musical (Annie) at Wheeler Opera House. A small and beautiful theater. Lots of families, locals and tourists - great fun for all, and the show was professional quality He had a huge surprise when we saw one of the stars of the show was a United Airlines gate agent at Aspen airport! :) More
