I celebrated my birthday at Famous PEOPLE Players Theatre with my mom and teenage son, and…read morehonestly, it was one of the most memorable nights we've had in a long time as a family. I had seen the show many years ago as a teen on a school trip, before they had their own venue. Like a good wine--or anything special that ages with care and purpose--it has only gotten better with time. The cross-city rush hour drive was absolutely worth it once we arrived. The venue, located in a strip mall/industrial park, had plenty of free parking. We stepped into a one-story, open, airy, and accessible building that immediately felt welcoming. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth, professionalism, and a genuine sense of joy that set the tone for the evening. We were escorted to our table in a dining area that felt both spacious and intimate. Everything was clean, well-organized, and thoughtfully arranged. The tables were dressed with cloth napkins, tablecloths, and seat covers, giving it a relaxed yet elegant feel. I especially loved the photos of celebrities who've been involved with the company, tastefully displayed around the room. The service throughout the night was excellent. Every staff member we interacted with was kind, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they do. They struck the perfect balance, friendly and warm without being overbearing. We truly felt like more than just guests. We felt part of something meaningful. The evening unfolded in three acts. Act 1: Dinner. The meal far exceeded our expectations. Each course--from the appetizer to the main--was fresh, flavourful, and beautifully plated. I'm not usually a fan of salad, but I really enjoyed the one served. Even my son, who's not easily impressed when it comes to food, not only cleaned his plate, he raved about the meal. Act 2: The Show. Before the performance, the cast encouraged us to sing and dance in our seats, and we did not hold back. Twist and Shout was a high-energy, creative, feel-good experience. The puppetry, lighting, and choreography were brilliantly done, and you could feel the joy radiating from the stage. Watching my son fully engaged made it all the more special. Act 3: Coffee and Dessert. The desserts were decadent--two types of chocolate delights. My son and I went halvesies on both, a perfect sweet ending to the evening. What really sets this place apart is its purpose. You're not just seeing a show; you're supporting something meaningful--an inclusive and empowering space that celebrates ability in a truly unique and beautiful way. Equity, inclusion, and diversity are not just buzzwords here. They're lived values, visible both on stage and behind the scenes in a way that feels authentic and inspiring. If you're looking for something uplifting, meaningful, and different from the usual night out, this is it. It's rare to find something that resonates across generations, but this did. It would be a fantastic option for schools looking to offer students a fun and impactful experience, and it would also make a memorable, purpose-driven setting for a corporate event. Whether you're going with family, colleagues, or students, this place is a gem. The experience itself felt like incredible value for the money.

I have come to Medieval Times since childhood. They always put on a good show but this will have to…read morebe the last time I go. The reasons are: *the food is always the same. And the only thing I've ever liked is the dragons blood aka tomato soup. Chicken is dry and corn on the cob is mushy, etc. There is nothing for me to look forward to; I know exactly what they're serving and the only dish I really like is the soup * the show doesn't change. It's a great show but the same thing over and over. There's no excitement left to be had. Nothing new to discover. I think it's awesome if it's your first time going but when there nothing new happening and the food isn't blowing you away, there's just not much reason to go back. But if you've never been I highly recommend you go at least once to enjoy the unique experience. Parking is confusing; there's only one way in and one way out and they're not near each other. A bunch of people had to turn around, including us. You do have to pay for parking too, but you can park there for a long long time, so me and my friend went on a nice long walk afterwards as it was a beautiful day. Parking was $15.

Fun family splurge, if a bit hokey. :)…read more - Parking was confusing - Bummed that the exterior wasn't shaped like a castle, like other locations (not a big deal, but you should know) - The two entrance lines should be clearly marked before the doors open for VIP/non-VIP. The red mat on the floor isn't obvious. - Frozen drinks at the lobby bar are surprisingly good/well-spiked (you can also get them alcohol-free for the kids) - Souvenir clothing items are decently priced - Be sure to see the horses when you first walk in. They're taken out of their stalls pretty quickly after you're inside. - Museum of torture got to be too much for me about 2/3 of the way through (I can be sensitive to graphic stuff, and made the mistake of reading all the placards). Had to abandon. - Condition of the restrooms (specifically the floors) was unforgivable. This was true of all restrooms, multiple times through the evening. - Couldn't follow the story line during the performance, but it didn't really matter. :) - Performers were excellent and COMMITTED, and our server (Kat) was wonderful. - Food was way better than expected! - Combat impressed even my 12 & 13 year olds. Sparks! Splinters! Awesome. - If you can't be silly, don't come. Let loose. Cheer! Boo! - I find dressage (making horses dance and bow) really unnatural and a bit upsetting. It feels forced and looks uncomfortable to me, so I never like those parts - and there are a lot. Just be aware. (And know that you may have to explain why they're whipping a horse to your young child.) - Overall we had an awesome time. We hooted and hollered and made memories. Thanks, Medieval Times!

At the beginning of the night the actors walk around the audience and mingle with each table. They then ask different people if they will be willing to participate in the show.

At the end of the night, you are asked to cast your vote on how the crime was committed, who did it, the weapon used and so forth. People who answered correctly were entered into a draw to win fun prizes. It was a great experience and I would definitely go back!

My friend had made reservations for us, and we were seated up front with a great view. The play started at 7:30pm, and we were there starting at 5:45pm for dinner. I had a quartino of red wine, which was the perfect amount for me to watch the play. I also went with the ribeye, which was served with risotto and asparagus. This meal was the most expensive on the menu at $66, but it was also gluten free, and included the play. I ordered the steak medium rare and it came out perfectly. I'm so glad I ordered it. Dinner was also served with a salad. I got the house Italian, and it had a great flavor. Dessert was Neopolitan ice cream, but the flavors were cherry, mint and chocolate, which I liked. It was a wonderful comedy. The actors really gave it their all and it was so nice to get back to local theatre. I laughed and really enjoyed all of the hard work the actors put in with creating the atmosphere. I would highly recommend this dinner theatre experience.

It's an interesting take on a caprese, although I would have liked actual mozzarella pieces as well. What makes the dinner interesting is you need to pay attention to the dishes. For most, there's something included in it that helps you with the puzzle. The truffled mushroom cigar looks impressive; a thin crispy crepe filled with a mushroom mousse garnished with black sesame ash to really give it the full effect. It's too sweet for my taste but I get why it's needed in the context of the game. Diners have a choice of mains: beef, chicken, or falafels. We all opted for the braised beef, a decent portion served with silky garlic mashed potatoes, carrots, and green beans in a rich jus. Before the main, I was still hungry but given its sizeable portion it left me satisfied. The beef was nice and tender and quite good for a murder mystery. Before the dessert we're given a palette cleanser. How it comes and what it is, I'll keep secret and not spoil the game. We end with another mousse, this one a cheesecake topped with graham crumbs and a berry compote. It's good, but by this time I'm a bit tired of mousses, just give me something to chew on already! Who knows, maybe they thought their demographic would seniors with no teeth. Having been to several murder mystery dinners, I'd say this was the most enjoyable. The Perfect Bite is more than a show, they include puzzles with each course, which give you clues towards a larger puzzle. Ultimately, it creates a more entertaining and interactive experience and makes for great teamwork to get to the next course. Rest assured, they're not difficult puzzles and if you're stuck, "Frank" the bar manager comes around to steer you in the right direction. Without giving too much away, I also liked that there's a twist, and it culminates in the final puzzle where you can really sleuth by getting out of your seat and using other devices.

I've been trying to get into seeing more theater lately, and my visit has only confirmed my thirst…read more It had been about a decade since I visited to see Peter Pan, which I had recalled mostly fondly, so I texted a friend and bought tickets for the show. We arrived about half an hour early after stopping at Lake Effect for scoops. Who needs dinner and a show when tummy ice cream is involved? The theater also sells snacks as food and drinks from the outside are banned. We were greeted outside by a dapper gentleman who held the door for us to get into the lobby. Unlike other theaters, there was elbow room to have them check out printed tickets and make conversation about the show. Others had digital tickets that seemed to work as well. We popped into the loo, which thankfully had multiple stalls, hardly any wait and was fully stocked with soap and towels. There were people selling souvenir toys and raffle tickets that we bypassed to find our seats. The playbill girl gave us a rough estimate of where we would be located. Thankfully everything is clearly labeled as to not get lost. For a mere 40 each, after fees, we were five rows back, centered. The view was clear, the sound was clear and the leg room- my gosh. For the first time in a long time a theater had room for me to stretch my legs a bit instead of cramming in more seats. The view is historically gorgeous in architecture and paint. Though we were there to experience the show, not just a building. The show started on time, held a brief intermission and concluded in about two hours. During that time, we got wowed by talented singers, very acrobatic dancers and mostly talented actors. (There was one that we would have probably chosen a different person to portray the roll, but I'm not going to crush a child's dreams when they did adequately. And others filled their rolls amazingly so I'm chalking it up to personal preference.) The costumes are well constructed without being extravagant. Tiny shorts cover any areas that would make this child friendly show receive an R rating. At the end, after all the standing ovations, we were able to exit with ease and get back to the car, parked at no cost in a nearby lot. Beat that Buffalo parking. Extra shout-out to whoever put the dual drummers in the loge to let us see the masterminds at work. They were the heartbeat of the show for me!

I made it a point to reach the venue early to make sure not to disrupt the performance by arriving late OR distract the performing artist by scrambling for a seat while the performance is in progress! The show starts 40 mins after the time mentioned on the ticket! I had a ticket that said 7:30 - the show started at 8:10. On asking the owner, he very rudely said - i am free to take mine and leave and that they never give any show timings - they only say - "gates open at"- trying to justify the delay and his impolite behaviour on a technicality! There is an additional cover charge of 25$ per person (over and above the tickets) which is not mentioned anywhere on the ticket pdf received during booking! Respect to the comedians but would prefer to see them somewhere else!
