Every time I have been blown away by the very professional productions in such an intimate setting! Add the delicious dinners and you have a great experience. My favorites, so far, are the Chan chicken and the Lasagna. I just wish I would save room for dessert, but that doesn't usually happen. I know I have never been disappointed.

We attended the Christmas show at the theater last December, we had also attended other shows previously and they have never left us disappointed. They have wonderful talented actors and is great to not have to drive to Broadway to see a great musical. The food was also very good. Was a delight to have a great meal and then... More

We enjoyed attending the main stage production of "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" at the Chan! Took advantage of a early booking promotion and had excellent seating in a booth just off center stage. You don't go to the Chan for the food but as always it was served by friendly, efficient staff used to dealing with large crowds... More

We always have a good time at the plays. I can't say the same for the food they serve before the shows. We have always felt underwhelmed by it.

We visited Chanhassen this past weekend with a high school music group from Michigan. The folks at group bookings were wonderful to work with and very accomodating. We arrived early on Saturday Night, which gave us plenty of time to explore the area and the theatre has numerous venues for shows, receptions, gatherings, and is a real gem. Our high... More

These people know how to put on a show! Our dinner was delicious - I highly recommend the Chanhassen Chicken. The show was awesome - it was a very cozy atmosphere and it felt very intimate. It was a great experience all around!

We've been going to the CDT for years and have always been pleased. We've gone to their last six shows, including their most recent, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream coat. It is as lively and as colorful as anything CDT has done. We are always impressed with the wealth of talent on display at this iconic dinner theater. And,... More

We go here once or twice a year to see the different plays in the main theater. We usually go to celebrate a birthday or anniversary and we always enjoy ourselves

I have been to the Chanhassen Dinner Theatre many times over the years. The shows are amazing and the is not a bad seat in the house. The entertainment is top notch. I have seen shows the Ordway and Orpheum in St.Paul and Minneapolis and shows in NY. The shows performed at the Chanhassen are just as great a quality.... More
