We saw "Mary Poppins Returns" at our local dinner theater last night. We really enjoyed it. It evoked the original without being a copy. Definitely recommended.

Of course they serve meals. It wouldn't be a dinner theater if they didn't They have primarily salads and sandwiches with a few hot choices and desserts. They also offer beer and wine.That is SO COOL! Is it actually a dinner theater? I mean, do they serve meals?
The term “dinner theater” for me evokes small live theaters that serve awful food before staging ambitious musicals with small casts made up of Equity waiver actors who tried so hard. The average age of the audience was 55-70.
The dinner theaters I attended with my folks served actual “sit down” meals before the show started. There was usually a choice of two entrees, and they were served at table by the performers.Of course they serve meals.

Here's a picture of the inside of the theater; they do serve sit-down meals, although they're not fancy. They have regular servers who are well trained so they're not obtrusive. The management likes for people to get there an hour or so before the movie starts, so everyone can get served. You call the kitchen on the phone at each table to order.The dinner theaters I attended with my folks served actual “sit down” meals before the show started.

Yup! We love it!Talk about killing two birds with one stone.....taking your date for a dinner and movie, under one roof.
