We came here for an Elvis themed show. When I read about this place online it was described as an interactive experience where the actors would talk with the audience. That is true. There was an actor who played both a mayor and Elvis himself, and this actor came along and spoke with our table. He handed my daughter a piece of paper and asked her to do up a poster promoting his good qualities and essentially helping him to get elected as mayor. My daughter being a very artistic person was happy to comply. We thought he might actually come back for the poster and use it somewhere during the performance but he never did follow up on this. Seems like he did it just for a fun, interactive element but I think it would have been good if he'd actually followed up on it. It kind of left us hanging all evening, wondering if he'd come back for the poster. Aside from him, there was mainly one other server/actor who was attending to us throughout the evening. He was in costume and played along by putting on a voice fitting to the time and place that the story was set in, but he didn't seem to be an actual character in the play. Just a side actor meant to fulfill the so called interactive element. Food was decent but not stellar. It was a 3 course meal. We were fortunate enough to have gotten a bday discount on our tickets as well as being able to have our two daughters order from the kids menu even though they were both technically over the kids age limit. So...5 stars for the customer service that we received, even before attending this performance. A basket of bread and butter was placed on the table and we all got salad as our first course. My daughter ordered Mac n Cheese with some tater tots on the side for her main entree. It looked super filling but also very tempting. I sort of wished I could order some tater tots for myself! I ordered a Vegan Spinach Tofu lasagna for my own main entree. It wasn't bad but I think a slightly larger serving would have been preferred. I was eye my daughter's tater tots and Mac n Cheese both because they looked tasty and because I was slightly on the hungrier side with my lasagna not being nearly as hearty a serving as my daughter's kids meal! We all ordered chocolate cake for our dessert with mine being a Vegan chocolate cake. Oh, and for our drinks we ordered a jug of Shirley Temple. If everyone at your table is agreeable to Shirley Temple then I'd highly recommend getting a jug of it for the table instead of everyone ordering individual cups. The jug ended up being cheaper and much better value as we were able to get more than one serving per person with the jug. Aside from the fact that I think the performers could have interacted with us more, this was still a super fun evening. The music, dancing and drama were all very enjoyable. They also asked audience members who were celebrating birthdays to come up on stage (that included moi), and people celebrating anniversaries got to go up on stage as well. So...there was that for an interactive element. I got to go up and do a dance on stage. Basically, all us birthday people were imitating the dance steps of the actors in front of us. This was fun. Just that when I had read online about this being an interactive experience I had kind of envisioned the actors coming up to our dinner tables and having conversations with us. Coming up on stage to do a birthday dance though was quite a thrill, as was hearing the entire room gasp when I got asked my age and people were all shocked because it seemed everyone in the room thought I looked way younger than I really am! Not quite what I expected but still a most delightful experience that I would recommend for anyone looking for something fun and memorable to do in Calgary! read more

First time checking out Jubilations Dinner Theatre for a weekday junior show (Petey Paans Christmas Pirate Adventure). Tickets weren't cheap; $46.95 adults and $43.95 for children. Good performance but the food was subpar. Props for offering gluten free options. read more

My daughter and I have been to five shows in the past two months. First, we saw 'Journey to the 80's' three times! It really got my soul as an 80's kid. Last night we saw 'Friends: The One With Ace Ventura' for the second time. The experience starts right when you walk in, as there are characters wandering around and seating you. The characters play off of you, making each show different. We love 'Friends' and 'Joey', 'Ace' and 'Estelle' truly elevated our evening. Some of our party was very involved as it was a birthday and they were also chosen to be a 'guest'!​ The food, yummy as always, and the fun menu, full of 'winks'. Thank you for very special family memories. We will be back. read more

Jubilations Calgary Dinner Theatre - 'Joey Doesn't Share Pasta!' - Dinner Theater Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Attended the Elton John Evening show last weekend . We had bought Costco tickets previously to enjoy an evening out . My husband enjoys Elton John music . Buying Costco tickets are cheaper than regular price at the door . They are a bit cheaper than the seniors rate at the door so good savings if you are not a senior yet. This show is very popular and most of the shows are sold out . Husband chose prime rib for his dinner selection & I picked BQ ribs so we could share . Prime rib will cost extra .. under $7 . Meal came with a tasty pumpkin soup and tasty salad . Fresh garlic breadsticks were in a covered basket on the table . The dessert we chose was an apple square with little scoop of vanilla ice cream . We enjoyed our dinner & the prime rib was so very tender & so were the ribs . We sat in the second level and by the time we got our meal , the third level behind us were finished their entrees. Not sure why people did not get served same time . Show performance was great & everyone enjoyed themselves . The people who sat near us were very friendly & social . I liked that some of the actors also served the meals & interacted with the diners too. Our table servers were very social & attentive to our needs . We would come again to another show ... A nice date night with show & dinner read more

What an awesome evening! The Wedding Singer provided us with many laughs and we enjoyed the excellent singing! From the moment we arrived the staff and performers made sure we enjoyed ourselves. Great food, service and we were very impressed by the servers willingness to check on food allergy items and provide alternatives! Will definitely be back. Loved the parents of the bride and the towel girl! Hope to see you again soon! read more

Horribly uncomfortable setting with little effort to be in a relaxed setting. Crowded and claustrophobic sardines/customers, a lack of ambiance and felt like a mall food court. Food was tolerable though very slow getting out. Service was decent excepting the slowness. Show was not well executed and sound was poor with most performances not up to par. Given the setting the price was too much considering the problems above. Very, very disappointing. read more

If you want to enjoy your meal, this isn't the place, actors feel they need to try intertwined you while you're eating, not enjoyable at all and over priced for what you receive! read more

Two thumbs up for "GhostBusted" , SOOOO entertaining! Loved the 80's music and many of them were ones I know and could sing along to! :) Food was pretty good. Our table ordered 2 chicken parms, 1 salmon, and 1 prime rib and the prime rib wins!!! It was soooo tender! :) Definitely the best choice of the night. All meals are served with soup (beef barley), salad (Cesar with dressing on side), and a bread & butter basket for the table. There was singing, dancing, and comedy!! All the singing is done live and they sound good. It was also funny and we were laughing throughout the whole show. All the actors and servers work so hard and definitely made the show enjoyable. They even stay in character when the lights are on during meal times. It is semi-interactive and they intermingle through the isles but nothing that would embarrass you. GhostBusted plays till Feb 9 2013! So goooo get your tickets! When you arrive at 6:15-6:40, they serve you the soup and salad. Then the play/musical starts. Entrees are served in the first break, and Dessert in the second break. Coat check = $2 It is in the same building as "Aussie Rules", and they share the same foyer, and bathrooms off the foyer. I believe there are coupons in the entertainment book which lower the cost from $65, to $50. read more

Job well done to the cast and crew! I was going to leave a 4 star because there was some confusion with the bills and took forever to pay...but a 5 was more fitting because the entire experience was above average. The biggest difference I noticed from previous visits...is that the staff have been trained to provide exceptional customer service. Their sense of urgency to correct issues, the servers checking to ensure food and drinks were perfect...and if not...they would fix immediately. I definitely felt they went out of the way to ensure we have an exceptional experience. Whether we needed more food, more sauce, or drinks....they were prepared to do whatever it took. Additionally, the show was great and well organized with appropriate breaks and entertainment. I'll be back for sure! read more

Actors usually make a living as waiters, but at Jubilations they get to do it all. Some of the characters from the play take your order and stay in character the whole time. (Which explained why our food at one of the plays took so long -- our waiter was dressed as a Canada Post employee). But the play -- no matter which one -- is always entertaining and a good time. The food was great (although not much of a selection) and everyone seemed to be having a laugh. The food comes out in courses, sometimes up to an hour between. But the entertainment grabs your attention. A play and dinner at Jubilations usually takes three hours, but the time flies. read more

Went last night to see Mamamioo, been a couple of years ago and wasn't too keen then, I know i won't be back anytime soon. you get someone shouting on stage wanting to be funny but giving you a big headache, the soup is passed along, you get into a conversation then the lights go down and someone is singing on stage, the salad comes along same thing happens. the show starts intermission comes where you get the main meal and then the cake. The show was all muddled up, chairs uncomfortable, had to move my chair way back to see the show as opposed to staring at someones head, to many interruptions with staff waiters who also happens to be in the show. Too much going on I was glad to get out of there. I won't be back in a hurry for sure! read more

We attended jubilations junior and the show was well done. The food was slow to come... making supper for kids around 730/8 pm, which is late for the little ones. Also, the food choice for the kids meals were quite poor for the price, the adult meals were good, with good selections. However, at $3 less a ticket for the kids ticket, I would suggest buying the kids an adult ticket so that they could have a proper meal. read more

Fantastic Family Outing! Our family has attended the last 9 shows at Jubilations and we have never been disappointed! We started going when my daughter was 10 and she loved everything - the excellent singing, the hilarious wait staff, the great kids menu, and that she got to stay up late! No where else will you find a team of people working harder to entertain you than at Jubilations. Your server is in character the whole time, and participates in the live show in between bringing you your four course dinner! They are efficient, everything is well thought out, and boy can they sing! Always a great selection of classic rock, modern hits, and any other song that fits the current theme. Birthdays and anniversaries are always acknowledged at Jubilations too, so it's a great place to celebrate with family where everyone will have a great time. read more

I really enjoyed this venue. It was fantastic. Our dinner was hot, tasty, and very enjoyable. I had the Prime Rib. The portion was huge, and I ate it all. Enough to feed a small country. The show was over the top great. I complimented all the actor's after the show. I hope I get a chance to come back again, and again. Wish we had this kind of a place in our city. read more

I've been to Jubilations many times over the years, but after the last show I attended, I don't think I'll be returning anytime soon. My friends and I decided to see the F.R.I.E.N.D.S Reunion show, as we're all big 'Friends' fans. We showed up at 6PM when doors open, and were seated in the far corner at the back - quite possibly the worst seats in the house - but not a big deal, we were there to enjoy each others company and the show. Our server was uncomfortably awkward, to the point where we weren't sure if it was her character or just HER. Drink orders were placed and soon we were taken through the menu and told we would be served both appetizers instead of having to choose one - wonderful! More food is always good news to us. The soup and salad was decent, no complaints at all. We placed our entree order and the first act was underway. The performers were young, but they certainly could sing. However, the acting was painful at times, and the storyline was ALL over the place. There were a few laughs, but mostly it was a lot of "WTF?" looks between us, and after what seemed like hours, we were served our entrees. Between us, we ordered the Chicken, Salmon, and Beef dishes. The food was mediocre - not great, but decent enough to fill you up. The fact they are able to feed everyone a hot meal is impressive in itself. My problem was with the timing. Between acts, there was WAY too long of a wait. After eating our meals, we waited an additional 30 minutes to start the next act. Cue more bad acting, an unfunny script, but decent singing voices to at least keep us awake. Dessert break. Once again left waiting ages. Last act seemed to drag on, I was literally sitting with my eyes closed at one point. When it finally ended, we paid our bill and I checked the time - it was almost 11PM. 5 hours of my life that I will never get back. We had a good time due to the company we were with, but I wont be seeing a show here again. In my opinion, it's way too expensive for the quality of food (plus we paid an additional $50 for drinks) and the production quality is amateur. There is no reason a show of this calibre should go on for FIVE HOURS and by the end of it I just wanted to get the hell out of there. Never again. read more

Last night was my first ever visit to Jubilations, yes, a little embarassing considering I'm a block away. And I loved it! The show we saw was 'Greased', so yes, a Grease theme, but with some Albertan twists to the fun story. We heard some of the classic Grease songs, with some other popular ones from the time. The cast was funny, entertaining, and made the visit by staying in character the whole time. The whole evening is fun! You definitely aren't bored between acts, and in total they probably had about 15 audience members participate. Even we did! and we got some free drinks for making slight fools of ourselves. At our table, we had 3 of the 4 main course options and all were received very well. All of the food was delicious! I will for sure be returning for the next show (I think it starts in November) and will probably buy one of the ticket packs as it will be worth it. read more

Jubilations deserves a star upgrade because of the time and consideration taken to provide some outstanding customer service. I was treated to a night at Jubilations this week by a client of mine and she has significant dietary restrictions for medical reasons. A week prior to our reservation, the chef called my client to discuss her needs. She must have a liquid diet and told the chef to use her imagination. The night of our reservation, we received top notch treatment. Our server noted that we were exceptional guests and she would do her best to cater to my client's needs, which she did. For those who are familiar with the meal protocol, you know you are served soup, salad, the main course and desert. The chef tried to emulate the standard meal options for my client via blended items and also made a solid effort to create a respectable presentation. My client was served soup broth, then blended fruit with a hint of cayenne to replace the salad as starters. Her main course consisted of three separate hot, blended servings presented in a variety of glasses. One was pureed carrots, another pureed potatoes and the third was some sort of spicy tomato soup. Desert was this awesome looking mocha milkshake with a mint leaf. My client was absolutely beaming with gratitude and we certainly felt exclusive. I know she doesn't receive treatment like this very often so this evening was very special for her and I was so thrilled to be there. The staff truly were amazing. I must add that the food was better than I remember or maybe there have been improvements. The carrot cake was in fact the best I've ever had. I was skeptical about how much I'd enjoy the show, as it wouldn't have been my choice. However, within 20 minutes I was sold and by the end, I thought the show was fantastic, as every show I've seen in the past. read more

Jubilations really is all around good fun. It's a great evening for dates, friends and families. First of all you get a show. Now, the shows are usually a parody of something... Pirates of the Great Saskatchewan, Best of 'Friends', Thank-You Elvis Presley, etc. They are always a comedy and always full of laughs. Not only do the actors and show keep you entertained, but so do the waiters, greeters and announcers. Everyone is in character and themed to the performance that is going on. It really is a hoot! The menu is a little different too. With each performance change, so does the menu. You start off with soup, then get a salad and your choice of main course and desert. They always offer beef, chicken, fish and a vegetarian dish, so there will always be something everyone will like. The food isn't gourmet-style food, but it's good and fills the hole in your tummy. Everything is included in the ticket price, with the exception of alcoholic beverages... those cost extra, but aren't too extreme. The sets and music are always extreme and very elaborate. I've been astounded each time I've gone at the lengths that Jubilations takes to ensure the atmosphere is up to par. I love that every worker in the theatre is in character. It really makes it an enjoyable, and laughable experience. The productions are always family-friendly so you won't have to worry about exposing children to anything too scarring, but they also have hidden innuendos that only grown-ups will pick up on. It really is a great time for everyone. The tickets may be a little expensive, but you're getting three and a half hours of entertainment and food. It's definitely worth it to check out a show because once you do, you'll want to go back time and time again! read more

Last weekend I went and checked out "Luck Be A Lady" at Jubilations Dinner Theatre. I had never been and I will be the first to tell you that Jubilations is now my favourite theatre in town. From the moment we walked in, I was impressed. Their theatre is beautiful, way better than Stage West if you ask me, and their cast & crew are wonderful! What I especially loved is that the moment you step foot inside, you're transported into a realm in which EVERYONE is part of the production. From the usher who takes you to your table, to your server, to the guy who pours your drinks; Everyone is in character. Now let's get to the food. Excellent. I have a bit of a strict eating regiment, so we called ahead and the chef made me a meal based on specific ingredients that I can eat! SO considerate! Plus with soup, salad, an entree and dessert, there's no chance you're going to leave this place even remotely hungry. The production was excellent, the theatre was beautiful, the staff was professional, the cast & crew were magnificient, the meal was delicious, and the entire evening was one of the best I've had. read more

The Jubilations is an interesting bit of home grown musical dinner theatre. Comprised of a talented group of actor-servers who double as performers and waiters and waitresses, they perform original material musicals as the crowd enjoys a decent meal and drinks. It's fun, definately amusing and always quite entertaining. The shows rotate every few months, and very often seem to be inspired with what happens to be the popular zeitgeist of the day, be it a crime show, Glee, rock n' roll and what not. While admittedly not ready for Broadway, I've found the shows to be original and clever. Dinner is basically a standard 3 course with a salad, choice of entree and dessert, with beverages and alcoholic drinks extra. All the while, you have the performers/servers stay in character the entire time, and it's quite cute to watch them interact with the crowd. I found my prime rib to be excellent, and had no complaints at all. Most importantly, it was a good balance for the amount of food, just enough to be comfortably full. Overall, it's something I look forward to try again, and highly recommend it. Sometimes Costco offers a discounted event at the Jubilations as well around Xmas time. #57 of Yelp's 30-Day Review Challenge read more

Now lets be honest, these dinner theatres are not my jam. But my sister and lady love it, so I go fairly often. Now, Gentleman, I dont dislike going, the drinks are good, the food good, and the performance is usually pretty entertaining, but this isnt really for me. I go, a lot, because of people in my life. So because of that, only 4 stars, and of the 5 or 6 ive been to in my life I can say this one is good! And everybody really does give it their all so thats important as well. read more

My friends and I sometimes go here depending on what they are offering. Often in themed costumes of our own, study up on some songs and it's all really quite fun. The shows are usually musical parodies and the plays don't have amazing scripts but if you love the original they are spoofing you'll have a good time. The actors are not unionized so they tend to be a little less experienced than the ones you'll see in Stage West (which they will be unable to work at). Eventually these guys may join the union and go into bigger productions so generally they tend to be quite young - fresh out of school and maybe the top of their drama clubs or something. Production value is still pretty high quality. The food is acceptable but not delicious - there are vegetarian options which is nice. The drinks are steep. Overall it's about what you'd expect for a dinner and a play and if the show that's running is right for you then it's a great evening out. TIP: after the show, stop in at aussie rules right next door to add a little extra something to the night. read more

I can't stress enough that you shouldn't go here if you're just looking for a nice date night. My partner and I went out just the two of us and once we arrived were surprised to find that all the tables are long and meant for up to 6 people so if you're a couple then you'll be squished into a long table with 4 other strangers. It's definitely a place meant for families, work gatherings, and big friend groups. The show itself was fun, funny, and upbeat. The actors were all young and talented, and the theater production was great. My only complaint aside from the tables would be the servers, specifically the girl that served me and my partner. They all were entertaining and did their own little characters to try and liven up the experience and I appreciate that but its obvious that they want you to buy alcohol to earn extra cash and tips and I completely understand why (since I myself don't earn a large wage and live paycheck to paycheck). Me and my partner aren't drinkers unfortunately so we just got coffee and were taken aback by the sudden cold hostility from our server. She treated us poorly for the rest of the evening and truly tainted some of the evening for me. Overall it was a nice new experience but again I definitely wouldn't recommend couples coming here unless you're with a big group. And for all those who aren't big drinkers I warn you that you may not get the best server experience. read more

It had probably been a decade since my first visit to Jubilations. My wife and I got some tickets from a friend who couldn't go and we saw the Star Wars show. The show was great. It was funny, a small amount of interaction from the crowd, and well executed for the size of the room. The food was only ok though. I get that they have to make everything for everyone at the same time and try to feed everyone at the same time, between breaks in the show, but my prime rib was a little on the cool side, despite being served on a warm plate. It was also disappointing to see that they serve the prime rib medium instead of medium-rare like most restaurants. The drinks were delicious though and the pony jug went down fast. Great job to the cast and crew for a fun show and great service. read more

Amazing! Went with my wife and parents last weekend and was blown away! It was our first time and I can assure you we are already planning our next visit! The food was great (we splurged for the prime rib) and the veggies were cooked very well (although I don't think they used any seasoning on them which is just personal preference, so I can't bag them out about that). The performance was awesome! The best live theatre performance I've been to. The script was very well done, and being a fan of both the artist and the movie being portrayed really paid off but my wife isn't a fan of either and she loved the show just as much as i did! We will definitely be back for a full night of fun and entertainment! read more

We spent New Year's Eve at Jubilations and it was awesome! We've been there before and were always happy with the performance and the service so I thought I should mention it. We'll be back Viola read more

I recently went to the "Glee" production at Jubilations. It was really well done. The singers were top notch and it was alot of fun to watch. The characters which were working as servers seemed to be a bit hit and miss. Some had obvious acting experience and were able to joke around with the guests while others were just waiters/watresses with a funny costume. The food was pretty good nothing phenomenal but no complaints. The only fault I can think of would be the price but compared to other similar places its pretty standard. This is a great place when you're looking to do something really unique. read more

Since moving to Calgary about 8 years ago, I have always wanted to go to jubilations. I had heard good things, and that it was a really fun group experience. So when trying to think of something fun and new to do with our friends, we looked into it. Once we found out they were doing a "friends reunion" we all decided to go, because we all loved the show "friends" growing up. So we figured it would be a fun Friday night activity, better than the regular dinner night out. On the website it gives NO information on how long the shows run, it just says seating times between 6:15-6:45. We arrived at 6:30. We didn't get out of there until 11 pm!! It was horrible!!! Honestly, I will never ever go back because of how awkward the whole experience was. The servers aka the "additional cast" are just creepy, not funny. At one point one of the girls came to pick up finished dinner plate- she commented on how I must like a lot of meat (I ordered the prime rib- very fatty), then started to lift the giant chunks of fat left over with a fork, and hovering above the plate, and making the same comment about loving meat to the point where the fat chunks almost fell into my lap? Wtf are you doing chick? In the show there was a part where "Joey" is running around in his boxers, this same girl was running after him trying to look up his boxers, and then afterwards ran around yelling "I SAW IT!!! I SAW IT!!" And then ran up to me and yelled that she saw his dick and it looked like Mount Everest. There were children there, it was beyond inappropriate. This isn't funny, it's just annoying. There were many many more awkward points with the servers, but it would take too long to explain them all. The food was not good, soup too salty to eat, salad was about 6 lettuce leaves, a couple bacon bits, 4 croutons on the side and a little cup of dressing on the side. The beef was ok, and the cake was ok. Drinks were over priced and they messed ours up several times. The show had a few funny parts, but honestly there is no reason in the world there needed to be such long breaks in between, and the show was just drawn out, with a lot of parts that made nooo sense at all, and related nothing to friends either. At 10:00 we were begging to leave, but it really does feel like you're held hostage. We wanted to try to leave and clear up our bill for the drinks but were told we had to wait for the manager in the additional actors crew to spilt up our bill first. We didn't get to leave until 11 pm. My god what amateur show needs to be 4 1/2 hours long? Our legs were cramping up, it was sheer torture to be honest. All in all this was about $100 each person, go spend your money else where people, not worth it! I'm giving 2 stars because if the servers weren't "acting" the experience could be better, as well as if they shortened it all up to about 2 hours, it could have been fun. But with the way things went, I feel legit ripped off. There is no reason to charge this amount for what we got. read more

The show was pretty decent but I found the two overly flamboyant homosexual characters to be pretty offensive. It is 2015 and no longer acceptable to portray gay people this way. The service was dismal. Honestly, I think it was the worst service I have ever had. We booked three tables for my office Christmas party. First, neither host/hostess could find our reservation, although I easily found it on their sheet and pointed it out to them. Next, we sat down and ordered drinks right away but they didn't arrive until we were well into our second course over 30 minutes later. When we mentioned the long wait, we were advised to order our second round of drinks now if we wanted to see them by the main course so we did. That round of drinks arrived promptly which resulted in everyone having two full drinks in front of them. The server insisted that we begin to order food as soon as our first table was all seated, even though I asked if we could wait until our whole party had arrived. This is basic etiquette! As a result we all had soup in front of us as the others were arriving and mine was ice cold by the time I was able to actually eat it because as the host of the event, I had to get up and greet everybody and distribute drink tickets as they arrived. The tables were so close together that you must sit with your stomach literally touching the table (I am not an overweight person) and the servers still cannot get in behind your chair to serve you. All night we were continually asked to pass food and drinks down to the end of the table. By the time my plate reached me about five people's thumbs had dipped into my food. Then we had to bus each other's messy plates afterward as well. The chairs are also very uncomfortable, especially for the length of time you are sitting. At the beginning of the night the server asked if there were any dietary restrictions and I let him know I was vegetarian. He kindly brought me a tomato basil soup but then brought out a salad with bacon on it. Main course was vegetarian lasagna with vegetables. The vegetables were greasy, the lasagna was salty and everything was ice cold. At the end of the night we would have loved to sit and talk for a while but the bus staff came and asked us to begin bussing our own table (passing every dirty dish and glass down to the end). She then dropped several glasses which broke on the table and she asked us all to leave so she could clean it. We were literally kicked out 3 minutes after the show ended. I understand why they demand gratuities be paid in full at the time of purchase because none of these people would ever see a tip otherwise. I am embarrassed I recommended this place for our company Christmas party and will not be coming back. read more

Awesome time!!First visit for company Christmas party..had lots of fun with just the right amount of social time in between acts! Saw Buddy Holly show,Even got called up stage which was hilarious!! Thanks "Cornelius".will definitely go again with friend and family. read more

I went to Jubilations for the first time with my cousin to see Sherlock Holmes and it was pretty awesome. We had a server who played a character named Handy Hank and he was hilarious. I'm not sure if they were playing actual characters or their own made up one though, but I definitely saw a guy dressed up as Fred from Scooby Doo! The actors and actresses were really good, especially their singing. They were a joy to watch and were funny. The thing though was that the whole event lasted about 5 hours long! By the end I was getting restless, fidgety, and wanting the play to end soon. What I really didn't enjoy was the food. The salad dressing tasted like a weird mixture of medicine and fruit juice. My cousin had the fish and rice - both of which were overcooked. Her portions were skimpy as well. I had the steak. It was bland and definitely needed salt. Dessert was great though. Mmmm, chocolate cake... All in all a great time, just don't expect much from the food. read more

My wife and I always love going here, we've been huge fans of their productions and will continue to check out new shows as they debut, definitely worth the money, although only downside I would say is that the food isn't as good as other places I've been. read more

First time here. The mushroom soup was delicious, the salad was very good with cranberries and almonds, the chicken Kiev was absolutely out of this world. My son would have gladly had seconds. I really enjoyed the vegetables with the chicken. The roasted potatoes were a bit dry and the desserts (strawberry rhubarb pie and chocolate fudge pecan caramel cake) were average.....nothing to write home about. Great job with service! Couldn't ask for better. The show was very well done. A wonderful evening all around. read more

My family have lived in the area for years and always make a point of going to each Jubilations show when it comes out. Over the last 4-5 years the shows have been consistently good and the food even more so. We used to go here because it was close to our home but we now go for the truly wonderful food. The cooks seem to take so much care in their food and presentation. Each show we look forward to what we will find on the menu and have yet to be disappointed. The only negative thing I can think of to say about the food is that over the years it has no doubt been responsible for at least part of the fact that some of my clothes seem to be getting tighter. The shows themselves are almost always very funny and the singing in them is generally topnotch. Our servers are usually playing a character while they work and waiting to see what our waiter is playing is one of our favorite parts of the night. read more

So there was 8 of 9 of us that went. The box office was unwilling to let us use the other ticket another time. They allowed us to take home a meal boxed, take home cold food. When we did we didn't get the entire meal. We should have gotten the soup and salad. Did not receive it. The food we had for diner was really good. Our waiter Tyler was amazing and very funny. The big boom Theory 3 was disappointing. Really disappointing. It starts very slow and with the exception of Bernadette no one really was very convincing of the true characters. I thought it would be really funny and it was not. Not one of the 8 of us really liked it. I wanted to leave. I'm a huge lover of the arts and have never wanted to leave a show before. read more

Jubilations Calgary Dinner Theatre - Dinner Theater Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

After experiencing my first time at Jubilations, I was shocked to come on yelp and find it so highly rated. My date and I went to see the Friends reunion show, and are HUGE Friends fans. First off, we arrived at curtain call at five on a Sunday evening, and didn't leave until 9:45. Five hours (or the better part of) is WAY too long to keep people when a show is good, never mind if it is lacking quality. I felt like I was being held hostage. WAY too drawn out. Secondly, I understand that the waiters and everyone in the cast are trying to be fun and interactive with the audience. But why do they feel that the best way to interact is to be as annoying as possible? The best line I heard from a waiter was when we broke character and made a joke about politicians. Really annoying and childish. Third, the food was probably the only redeeming quality of the night, although it may have just been that my standards were so lowered by the time I ate. Still impressed that they were able to serve hot food to that many people at once though, so kudos on that. Fourth, the actual performance. I understand that these are young, inexperienced actors and actresses at this theatre. I also understand that this is not New York City. But in a metropolis of over 1 million people, is this seriously the best Jubiliations could find? The girls were ok, but still, did any of these performers even watch a Friends episode before taking on these roles? The actor portraying Chandler, in particular, was cringe-worthy. ONLY redeeming aspect was that all of the cast could sing very well, and that was impressive. Overall, the production felt childish and immature, perhaps catering to an audience of the same caliber. I had to go home and watch a few episodes of Friends in order to wash the proverbial taste from my mouth. I will not be attending Jubiliations again, nor would I ever recommend it to anyone over the age of 13. read more

went to see Sherlock this past Saturday. The food and show were good, but I now remember why I said I would not go again after my last visit a couple of years ago - THE SEATING! The seats are broken down and hard, and there is zero cushion left in the cushions. By dessert I could no longer sit on the chair. I spent Sunday popping Tylenol to get rid of my lower back ache. Dear Jubilations - it's time to replace your chairs! I really will not be going back until the seating gets addressed. Recommendation - take some sort of stadium cushion if you are going! read more

We arrived on time and were pleasantly greeted to the cast opening the doors which much enthusiasm and energy. It was a wonderful way to start off our evening with our children and friends. We were escorted to our table which I was not expecting to be such great seats as it was up in the corner on the third level, but the seats were perfect! As we were at the railing our children had a unconstructed view. Thanks Box Offfice for recommending that spot. I have gone to Jubilations many times and have enjoyed the performance and the servers, but this time was one of my favorites. The servers were so enjoyable. My children were laughing and trying to come up with ways to stump the servers with questions about the universe. In a world of so much technology which my children ages 14, 11, and 8 readily buy into and are always bored without the iPod - we're kept entertained and engaged the whole time. Not once was I asked "can I play on your phone". My youngest was upset when the lights came on after the first act because he thought it was over. He is always wanting to go home early, but not this evening. The soup and main course were great - I had the prime rib and once my oldest tried it he wanted more. The salad in my opinion could have been better and the desert was good. As it was a little late for my children to eat they were still hungry after the soup, salad and buns, so we asked if we could have more buns and they brought out more which made the kids happy. My poor daughter ordered the chocolate cake which I do not usually like and it was really good. She ended up having to share with everyone. I really liked the non alcoholic special drink they had and how it was presented. The glasses had bubbles which made the kids feel special. At one point my son had asked the server for more crackers well he was given a whole basket full and he did his best to eat them all - it was so funny. The performance was great. The actors got into their characters on and off the stage which added to the evening. The story line was not complicated and enjoyable for all ages. I did not have to answer a lot of questions. We noticed the drawings on the wall represented parts of the story and my children were constantly waiting for the scenes with the drawings to come into the show and I found I too was waiting. The kids were so thrilled when they noticed the drawings come into the show. This added to our evening by keeping us all engaged in the whole experience. My evening was so much more enjoyable because my children were kept entertained. At one point in the show there was a comical passionate scene, the clown waiter was waiting for it an covered my youngest sons eyes - we all were laughing. It was the little things that the severs did that turned a nice evening into a memorable event for our Anniversary. I am so glad we decided to spend our Anniversary this way. My husband and I were able to get up and dance on stage to a romantic song with all the other couples to celebrate our special day. I strongly recommend Jubilations for all ages as it is fun for all. read more
