Live-music venues worth the trip in Norman, Oklahoma

A 1,500-seat casino theater in Norman that has been home to legendary performances for more than a decade, from Willie to Chicago and Boyz II Men, Clay Walker to Styx, with a terraced, three-tiered floor and screens flanking the stage.

An all-ages micro venue and vegan restaurant, now a worker-owned cooperative, that has long been a staple in the heart of downtown Norman and also runs a music school right next door.
