Live Entertainment in Wheeling

Capitol Music Hall is Wheeling's spectacular 2,500-seat historic concert venue — a restored 1928 Vaudeville palace on Main Street that hosted WWVA Jamboree broadcasts for decades and continues presenting major country, bluegrass, and classic rock touring acts for the northern West Virginia and eastern Ohio market. The venue's extraordinary preservation of its original theatrical grandeur and its deep roots in West Virginia's country music heritage make it one of the most authentic concert experiences in Appalachia.

Capitol Theatre Wheeling is West Virginia's most historically significant performance venue — a beautifully restored 1928 theater with extraordinary Baroque architectural detail presenting outstanding Broadway touring shows, concerts, and cultural events. Capitol Theatre's remarkable architectural heritage and its consistent programming of outstanding theatrical and musical entertainment create a performing arts venue of genuine West Virginia historical significance.
