We absolutely cherish our connection with our patrons.

Last Christmas performance, something magical happens, what begins as a simple nod, a gentle toe tap, body sways…and before you know it, you’ve found yourself right in the pit, dancing along to our infectiously joyful music.

It’s these impromptu moments that bring the spirit of the 1920s to life. There’s nothing quite like watching it unfold before our eyes. Pure joy, shared energy, and just like that Capitol Theatre transported back in time. We couldn’t be happier to be part of it.
