    Jamboree

    We came to Wheeling specifically for the 85th Country Jamboree to see Ronnie Milsap. The Capitol theatre is amazing. So old and yet so beautiful - not to mention the music. We learned a lot especially about the ringing of the cow bells. Loved it.

    Attended doo wop show in April 2017. Theatre is nice. Show was okay. Some performers not so good. Lobby to crowded with tables making it hard to get in and out. Prices of tickets reasonable.
