My wife and I watched Young Frankenstein. It was a great night out. The dinner was tasty. The drinks were great both before dinner and during intermission. The Old Bay Bloody Mary had a nice hot bite to it and the Irish Coffee at intermission was a hot, sweet liquid dessert. We'll definitely be back!

I was recently introduced to this theater and it is amazing. We saw the Golden Girls mystery a few weeks back, and just saw Young Frankenstein. Both were absolutely amazing. The talent in Young Frankenstein was out of this world between the singing, the heavy dialogue, some of the crazy over the top Mel Brooks lines that required a fast pace and THE right delivery ...and there was even some tap dancing. Holy mud.. This place is a hidden gem.. just bought our tickets for another play in June!

Went last night to see their production of Young Frankenstein, and had a fantastic time. Extremely friendly staff/cast, pretty good food and a great show.Highly recommended!

5 stars for performance and service! Young Frankenstein was hilarious and the actors were top notch, I couldn't even narrow down a favorite. Loved every minute of it, probably my favorite play. The dinner and drinks were well coordinated, service was amazing and staff were wonderful! Would definitely go again. I wasn't super excited about the dinner, but I understand trying to keep costs down. If possible to budget for in the future, more comfortably chairs for 4 hour dinner/show would be a good investment to keep folks coming back more often. Thanks for a wonderful time!!

My husband and I really enjoyed this first time experience. The cast and owners of the show were amazing. The food was hot and delicious, the show & service was excellent. You can easily see that everyone involved puts their heart and soul into making this production a success. Great value for your money. Well done!! We will see you at Grease!

It's very tight seating arrangements unless you are fortunate to get one of the few tables that you don't have to share with others.The place is a little run down. Food is very subpar, so don't expect anything wonderful.The service was wonderful with the cast of the show and Young Frankenstein show being delightfully attentive.It was pricey for what it was, I have been to other dinner theaters that were better priced, had better food, and better seating arrangements.The show was ok. 5 of the performers did a good job, however one performer ruined the whole show for both of us because she was that bad. Unfortunately, she performed too many songs especially in the second half!Doubt I will return to the venue.

My husband and I saw Young Frankenstein: The Musical and were blown away by the cast's talent. We are huge Mel Brooks fans and enjoyed the adaptation of this hilarious film. The cast was amazing, especially Igor and Frau Blucher (horse noise). The actors all did well doubling as wait staff - very friendly and courteous.One big tip: bring a cushion! The chairs are great for an average dinner but get a little uncomfortable for drinks+salad+dinner+show.I did knock one star off for the food. I wasn't expecting a gourmet meal by any means but it really wasn't more than meh. The quiche/souffle tasted like velveeta, the meatballs were mushy, I didn't attempt the fish, and the rice pilaf was fine but not remarkable. I know they're trying to keep costs down and please the average customer but I left hungry.All of that being said, we'll be back. I'll just be sure to eat first :)

I LOVE the WCP! Each time I enter the doors it's like a homecoming! As someone who has been attending (& occasionally performing) there over the last 30+ years, it gives me tremendous joy to see it still thriving, growing & continuing it's long-standing history of impeccable entertainment!

Everyone is very nice and pleasant. Laura, the owner, took my last minute call and checked with the chef to see if it was still possible to add 2 more to the list. Took my word on faith and when I arrived, I paid at the end of the show, instead of paying upfront via a reservation. I appreciated that very much. It was like that with the whole staff. The reason for 3 less stars of 5 are. 1- The food wasn't that good. The breaded cod was cool in the middle. The starchy sides, a soufflé and Augratin potatoes made me gassy and uncomfortable. Also, the specialty drinks looked really promising on the menu but drinking them was very lack luster. Too sweet and not enough alcohol. What's the point of not feeling a little tipsy after your first cocktail. I am a light weight, after all, and their 11 bucks each. And a single cocktail served correctly, usually does it for me. 2- the flow of the story was so lack. 6 scenes that seemed like only lasted 5 to max 10 minutes. I am not exaggerating. And between scenes, the same actors served the food, got drink orders, picked up dirty dishes, replenished water and coffee, etc. That really prolonged the breaks between each scene. To me, it put TOO MUCH emphasis on the dinner part. It really was a big distraction to the actual theater. It made the story flow super slow and I was too distracted by it all. 3- This is the kicker here, there was an opportunity for seconds so I went up. I went for the chicken this time because the fish just wasn't cuttin' it. The server picked a chicken piece from the "soup" or stew broth and realized it was small so he put it back, which I appreciated. Then he reached back into it and pulled out a nice bigger piece, but put that back in as well, which left me with a lot of anticipation of the next piece which was surely going to be THE ONE I get. For a 3rd pull, it was a small piece again that went right into my plate. I was like, "thanks". Dude, that was kind of cheap. An indirect message to me that said, "this first one is too small for you sir, you are a customer after all. But you also aren't worthy of this second one. It's too big for you. (I mean, was he saving it for himself?). Nah, here you go, this is more like it, a small piece for you, off you go now. Like I said, that seemed pretty cheap. My bill came out to $161 for 2 adults tickets and 3 cocktails (My date drank less than half of her cocktail and I barely touched my 2nd drink. Too sweet and too weak which just added to the bloated and gassy stomach). The coffee was strong and good, though. I will not be going again.

Excellent and moving production of The Hunchback of Notre Dame Incredible vocals and performances in a small immersive dinner theatre setting.

Rhonda Wiles

I can"t rave enough of the Hunchback of Notre Dame. Outstanding production, music, sets. It was just awesome.

Donna Bonzagni

Went to the opening of The Hunchback of Notre Dame last night. I've seen dozens of productions here over the years, but this one blew my socks off. I don't know how they managed to get that much talent onto one stage. I was speechless. The only word I can come up with for the music and vocal talent is magnificent! Wow! Just wow! If there are tickets left and you like music, GO SEE THIS SHOW!
