The Capitol Theatre

The new Cap is a great place to see and HEAR top flight acts. Main floor is usually open for SRO, and that can be a little tiring (and crowded) but hey it's a rock and roll joint not symphony hall. Acoustics are AMAZING. Balcony seating is comfortable and there is even waitstaff service for drinks both alcohoic and non-alcoholic.

The grandiose lighting system can be a distraction as it is audience facing and VERY strong when in full kick ass mode.

Parking is OK as long as Metro North doesn't close its lot, which they did when Furthur was in town. There is access via Metro North to the Port Chester station.

Now...my only complaint is that the bars inside the Cap don't know when to stop serving obviously intoxicated persons. The last two shows I went to there were more than a reasonable number of falling down drunk patrons who couldn't negotiate the stairs without a gravity assist. C'mon guys I like to party but serving people to the point of paralysis is a tragedy waiting to happen.

Plenty of good places to eat nearby. Neighborhood is (and always has been) a bit sketchy, especially near the train station.

I went here for the first time last weekend and I must say, it's a great venue.

The sound is wonderful and the staff is friendly.

As far as bathrooms go, I love the setup here. There are only a handful of stalls, but they are unisex, complete with sinks, and the line goes by quickly. This is very important, I think, because I hate having to wait in line in the women's room because so many women have to re-do their makeup every 10 minutes, holding up the line, and all I need to do is piss.

Anyway, great show, I had a great time, great venue in a really convenient location (right off the metro north track).

Oh yeah, alcohol isn't too expensive, either.

Majestic, classic, rocking, right on for the "CAP." Saw Further, the grateful dead band with Bob Wier and Phil Lesh, at the Capital Theatre.  Thought I had died and gone to heaven (perhaps it was the air!). We are all so lucky that someone cared enough about the theatre, rock and roll, savvy entertainment, architecture, lights, setting, serving and service, parking, bathrooms, bars, an app to have drinks brought to your seat!  If you want to recapture your rocking glory days or finally start having them (you will see and party with all ages at the Cap - which is awesome), this IS the place.  We had dinner near the PortChester, NY waterfront ahead of time in an old brick steakhouse.
