Candlelight Dinner Playhouse Review

Lovely, large theater. Good food. Fabulous show, had a marvelous time!

Delicious food, great drinks, and a fantastic performance! Great for a night out.

Very talented performers, meal the typical dinner theater fare. Will be back next summer for Peter Pan!

Very entertaining! Servers very pleasant. Food delicious!

Performance was top notch. Food was pretty small portions and decent.

This place is fantastic! I've never seen a bad show here! The food is always delicious and the ticket prices are very reasonable. Be sure to try their house-made ginger ale!

"Always, Patsy Cline" Charlotte Campbell as Patsy!!! This woman did a phenomenal performance!!! Her mannerism and how she looked so much like Patsy, right down to facial expressions. She nailed this far above and beyond any expectations I had. Now, I was born 8 years after Patsy's death, so I'm comparing this actresses portrayal to clips, videos, and records I've seen of Patsy, and no one could ever come as close in so many ways!!! Standing Ovation Miss Campbell!!!! I wish I could have met you, hell I would've risked catchin COVID to do so, but wouldn't want to put you at risk.
Now, I have no idea how Louise was in real life, I only knew of her by what I have read. However, there is no doubt in my mind that Jalyn Courtenay Webb played a close if not identical Louise!! One could definitely see how Patsy would love to be around and confide in such an amazingly beautiful soul. I told my daughter, who treated me to this show my very 1st night in Colorado, we all need a Louise in our life. Regardless of volume, lol. Loving her most!!
Ladies, you are well worth the 1500+miles I traveled, lol. And I will plan future visits with my daughter along with either of these ladies in whatever show they may be doing!! Thank you so much for an emotionally unforgettable evening!!! Brava!! BRAVA!!!
Oh and the Candlelight Dinner Theater's Salted Carmel Bacon Bread Pudding Dessert is highly recommended!!

Visiting from England. This was my second visit. Great evening out.

When you think Johnstown, CO, you certainly don't think about musical theater. But you should! Every experience I've had at the Candlelight has been incredible. The actors in the shows are so talented. The sets are top notch. I go to the Buell in Denver occasionally and I enjoy these shows just as much. Except with these shows, I get to eat too which is a definite bonus. And unlike a lot of dinner theatres with their TV dinner type meals, the food here is actually really good! Especially the desserts. Highly recommend especially for a nice night with your significant other.

Good food and venue. The performance was great fun!! Talented, hard working people...will go again!

Great place for dinner and a play. Great ambiance as well.

Watched Hello Dolly.
Singing and dancing were top notch!
We were served by three different people which is normal, all three were incredibly charming.
Shockingly the meal was pretty great, we'd go back just for the meal if they offered it.

Would we return? Absolutely!!

Actors are fine. Sound quality on their microphones was pretty bad at some points. Seating in the balcony could be better. Overall a fun experience.

Beauty and the Beast was AWESOME this afternoon. Went with my wife, mom and my wife's mom and sister and her family. What a great time and delicious dinner meals we all had.

Tonight's show was spectacular! Who knew there was so much Talent in Colorado!

Took my wife for her birthday. Had a fantastic time.

Great product. Try the Carmel galaxy cake with ice cream!

Prompt, attentive food and beverage service. Great performance. Great stage design.

We enjoyed a lovely evening with a delicious dinner, good service, and a delightful production of Mary Poppins!

Really enjoyed my experience here! Love that you dine in the same place you watch the show, which was very well done! The level of talent was excellent, but the food didn't match that. The entrees were mediocre, but I did take into consideration they're serving 100+ people all at once. I'd definitely go back and make (another) night of it with a group of friends! I highly recommend checking it out!! "Nunsense" was great with a lot of humor, but I don't think it matters what show is running - it'll be worth it!

Food was good. Service was great. Larry Gatlin and his group was excellent. Highly recommend

Always have a great time and great people. However, the last few years is always geared to kids. Need some more musicals like when you did West Side Story, Fiddler on the Roof, Damn Yankees. Would like to see more modern shows like Beautiful or Cabaret etc. We use to go at least twice a year but have not been since West Side Story.

Food was pretty good. But I mean come on the show Holiday Inn was horrible i thought! I'm really not into musicals and thought it be funny but not so much! It wasn't at all funny i think i chuckled twice and fell asleep! Sorry but

Had a great time! The food was very good and the performances superb!

Had a great time seeing Tarzan! It was our first time attending and my son and I had a lovely night and enjoyed both of our dinners. We chose from the dinners from the dinners that came with our tickets, instead of upgrading. The soup was amazing and the XO coffee was a nice add on.

Inwas pleasantmy surprised by the production and stage set up, as well as costumes! My son said as we left "I would definitely come back"! Which is saying a lot for a 10 year old!

Looking forward to our next visit!

Conflicted. Performance is awesome. Good service was so slow. Made for a really long dinner and a show.

What a wonderful venue. Very classy, good food, great stage, costumes, acting, singing. Absolutely perfect night out!

The play was very good, saw screwge. It is a little pricey to eat, but they have very good actors. Happy with the play.

I am always impressed at the quality of the food, acting, singing, staging and service! What a treat!

Had a great evening with my daughter and her friend here. Food was great, the service was great, the show was great. Definitely will come again. Wish we lived closer so it wasn't such a long drive but definitely worth it. Spent the whole ride singing songs and visiting with the girls since they never stop talking. LOL

Candlelight Theater always has excellent shows and meals. I've never been disappointed.

Wonderful place. The food is always hreat and goes along with the plays timeframe. Service is great and fun. The plays are always fun and wonderfully done, and the actors are so talented.

Very cool . Watched Cinderella and first candle light dinner

Wonderful food and the shows always wow. Very talented people.

The Saturday matinee of "Oliver!" was terrific: service, food, beverages, atmosphere and performance. Dining highlights: Candlelight Kiss cocktail, Coconut Shrimp Chowder, Stuffed Portobello Mushroom, and Hot Fudge Cheesecake. Performance highlights: young Eli who played Oliver, David W as Bill Sykes, the opera-capable fellow who played Mr. Bumble, and the woman who played Nancy. [Forgot to bring home a program -- apologies for not getting all names!]

Honestly I've never been in to shows like this but my wife had subtly hinted at it for a while so I surprised her for her birthday and I have too admit i enjoyed it much more than I would of ever expected and most likely try to maybe make it once a yr kind of thing.

Advice: skip dinner and stay away from the balcony. Show was great!

Awesome place to catch a show. Just got our season tickets for season 10!

Our group had a wonderful time! Great seats, food delicious, entertainment first class!

Really enjoy this playhouse, Food I think is Great, service is Great but last March was disappointed with the play. Saw 'Forever Plaid' and the Harmonies were not there. I had looked forward for almost a year because I love that era of music, but they really missed it. But still had a very nice day.

Food was horrible, showed up when they told us to and sat around for an hour and a half waiting for a play to start which had talent as poor as my high school talent show. And they charge you $60 per ticket PLUS an insane upgrade fee for anything you order? What a rip off. I wouldn't send my worst enemy here. 0 stars. Horrible place

The staff was friendly and the show was captivating

The salmon was excellent the show was awesome what more is there to say

A favorite family outing! Great shows; we've been going as a family for years! The cast and crew do wonderful, and the productions are high quality! I would recommend it to anyone!

Always great performances, shows, food, and service! Truly a gem! Season tickets are money well spent.

Middle of nowhere and so fun. Lunch and play lasted 5 hrs

I love this place I go here all the time they have a lot of good shows the food is okay but I think I go more for the show then the food

I've experienced 4 shows now over the last few years and have been impressed each time.

Amazing casting, wonderful acting and singing... just overall a consistently talented crew!

Delicious food, too! I love that they try to cater the menu to fit the location of the play, as much as possible.

Fun date night, fun family night, great for all ages (play depending) - worth every penny.

<3 support the arts!

If you've never been to a dinner play, you should definitely go to Candlelight Dinner Playhouse! It was so much fun!

Great atmosphere. Great musical performance. Good food. Whole family really really enjoyed it.

My wife and I had a great time. The wait staff also performs the show and are very good at both. The production is well done and the stage settings are original and professionally constructed. We really enjoyed our dinner and performance and would recommend it as a good date night.

So much fun! Food was great and Scrooge and cast were amazing!!

We love this pkace! Such an amazing amount of talent on stage and in the kitchen
If you love dinner theaters this one should be at the top of your list.

Love this Dinner Theater! Consider buying Season Tickets! Amazing shows!

We have attended several shows over the last 5 years. The shows are always very well done. Service from the whole staff, including the actors is awesome. However, the food is terrible. You can tell everything is prepared well in advance. (I understand they feed the entire theater at once, but there are better ways to do it). I hate to write a negative review when everything else they do is so great, but I had hoped that the food would get better as they became more established. They have limited resources in the kitchen, (Get a fryer. Also, Instant mashed potatoes will never pass as the real thing). And all the food except for the dessert is extremely bland. (Dessert is from a box). They try hard to make it an over the top dining experience, but they would do better by just warming up processed meals from the Sysco truck than what they are currently serving.

The show "Beauty and the Beast" was great. The 3rd row in the balcony is very poor viewing though.

Great food, great dessert! The cast was amazing! What a splendid time!

Great shows and cast. Food is not the bestl however.

Attended EVITA last night and have to say it was a huge disappointment - our party of 4 left at intermission. I've seen better high school productions. Sorry to report that quality of music, singing, choreography and sound was terrible. I will not be a repeat customer and am sorry to have to say that. If I could have left all the stars above blank, I would have done so.

The service was delightful, as was the entertainment. Some of the food was exceptionally delicious, while other items were just tasty, but not anything to go back for. The kid's menu was basic that kids would find at home; in no way fancy or different. Servers are members of the cast. You will want to add additional funds in for tips, drinks, desserts, and upgraded entrees.

Had a wonderful time the food was very good, the show was incredible! The cast was very warm they were also good waiters.

Performance was very good. Cast and servers were very friendly. Parking was easy. Food was decent. Dessert was very good. Overall a very fun experience in a beautiful venue.

My mother and I went to Beauty and the Beast. The food was great, and the musical was absolutely fantastic! Definitely worth the 4 hour drive and we will be returning for other performances!

This was my first time at Candlelight Dinner Playhouse. Ladies night out with friends and we were seated at a table with three other women. What a fun time we all had together! The show was Newsies. Excellent character performances and singing voices. We met a few of the actors as they were also our wait staff. Some of the performers are students or grads from UNC. Very talented! I enjoyed my dinner of salad, tender slow-roasted beef with gravy, mashed potatoes and green beans plus a dessert of pomegranate sorbet. Servings were generous; service and food were excellent. I plan to return. Season tickets are a good value for for the investment. The location is easy to get to just off I-25. I do advise arriving on time for the best experience. They have a nice website for more information.

Great show and service was fantastic! Will be back.

First time visit, saw a John Denver music celebration that was sold out. The facility has good seeing for views and audio thru out. Entertainment, service, diner, and desert were good.
We will look for future shows to attend.
