YouOverThere Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 No mention of whether there will be live music at any of these. Does the Warner Theater even have room for an orchestra pit? I've been to a couple of concerts at the Capitol One Hall and found the acoustics to not be particularly good. Link to comment
