5 reviews for Arizona Broadway Theatre
5 stars because ABT takes the hustle and bustle out of what could be a stressful evening of moving from venue to venue. Sit back relax. EAT, and then enjoy the show.
Arizona Broadway Theatre is a dinner theater with top notch food and first rate shows. Arrive two hours before curtain and be seated. "This is not a buffet Kit!!!" You sit down, order from several options on the menu, then dinner is served from one of the biggest kitchens in the state. The menu selections are selected for a reason. They match the theme or time period of the show that you are about to see. Example: For the show Grease, they served Kobe Beef Burgers as one of the main dish options. They also have special cocktails to go along with the show playing at the moment. I will never forget the candy cane martini that went with A Christmas Carol. Delicious!!!
Dessert and coffee are served at intermission. One dessert I will always remember was the German Chocolate Cake that accompanied the show Cabaret. Out of this world. Was it cake or mousse? The coffee is the best drip coffee in town. Who knew?
Lets talk about the shows. ABT gets the best local talent. They also audition and bring in talent from NYC and around the US. The creative forces behind the scenes have demigod status. Sets, costumes, props, musical direction, choreographers, the band, and directors are at the top of their games. I hope sound design makes it to demigod status one day. Maybe I am loosing my hearing. Arizona Broadway Theatre is going into their 5th season already. Time flies when you are being fed and entertained.

It's not about the food - the food is ok. Not bad....tasty, but just okay. And the menu allows plenty of choices.
It's not about the show. Because they're okay, too. We saw "Bye, Bye Birdie." And it was okay.
So I guess it's really about the entire evening. Arizona Broadway Theatre makes for a fun evening. Not something you're going to be talking about for a week. But definitely a place you can go back to and enjoy.
My boyfriend's parents gave everyone in the family tickets to the broadway show, "Annie Get Your Gun" and I feel it was the best Christmas gift ever.
We went to the show this weekend, on Feb 6th and it was amazing. I've never really been to a theater show worth bragging about, but this one was quite delightful. We had excellent front row seating and our server along with our dinner and desserts, were phenomenal.
The actors were amazing, the singing was flawless, the costumes were beautiful, and the dancing was breathtaking.
I will be attending another show soon!
We had season tickets to this theatre. The theater it self is just fine, our table had a decent view of the stage, I think most do. The food was never anything special, but then nothing terrible either. The servers seemed eager to please. The productions had folks singing, dancing and acting their asses off yet none of the shows really drew me in and getting lost in the story. I think it is nice that we have such venues here and hope they do well in the future.

Much better than I thought it was going to be! I guess I was always a little afraid of dinner theater, but the AZ Broadway Theater exceeded my expectations. My father had gotten us tickets as a Christmas present and with the expiration date quickly approaching we decided to give it a shot and catch their presentation of Cabaret. Was it the best version of Cabaret i had ever seen? No, but it was well acted and the set was actually impressive. We sat in the front row (section A) and we had a good view of the stage. The menu had a variety of German inspired dishes and we each had something different, I had a chicken dish, my parent had the beef dish, and Matt had swordfish. Your ticket includes soup or salad, an entree, and the show. At intermission you can chose to participate in dessert and I strongly suggest you do. Our waitress warned us that by then we would have a sweet tooth and she was correct. My mother had the German chocolate torte and it was huge- three people could of easily shared it. I had the apple strudel and it was very good, and my father had the sugar free peach cobbler (he is diabetic) and he was pleasantly surprised. The service was prompt and your glass was always filled. The matanee on Saturday was flooded with Red Hat Society members but honestly growing up in Peoria I have come to expect nothing less of the area. The only downside was the wait. They ask you to arrive between 12 and 12:45 and the show starts at 2 (the matinee showing). We got there at noon and finished our meals with a little more than 30 minutes before show time. The menu changes with each show so it is definitely worth checking out their website and planning your visit around what you like to eat.
