| - Beautiful Art-Deco dinner theater with amazing talent. A great excuse to get dressed up!
Bought tickets online for my hubby and my dad to see My Fair Lady when he was visiting from out of town.
Online ordering and the website is HORRIBLE. Even the theater manager said it was best to call the box office to book tickets. When you book your tickets online, a floor plan shows which seats are available at what tables. When we got to the theater, there was a group already in our seats. After talking to the house manager, he said the seats were "first come, first serve" and despite seat numbers on the floor plan and tickets, the reservation was only for the table, not specific seats. At least he accommodated us with free desert. After that issue was resolved, it was comical watching people escorted to tables that were already full and the manager scrambling to find a table that hadn't been double booked. Quite disappointing for an $85+ ticket.
The food was better than expected from a dinner theater in Peoria. The only disappointing part was the salad - the egg was baked in the same pans as the cornbread muffins and was so rubbery my knife wouldn't even cut through it. The bacon on the salad was cold and overcooked as well and would have been better from a bag.
All of our entrees were served warm, not hot, but the flavor was quite good on the Pork Tenderloin. I even ate the broccoli!
The saving grace and main reason I might venture back is the wait staff and the quality of the show. The staff is very talented (both on and off stage) and quite attentive.
All in all, $85 for 5 hours of dinner & live entertainment is a good deal, just make sure you get your own table or get to the theater extra early to line up to get your desired seats.
