Reviews of The Candlelight Theatre
What a hidden gem! The entertainment was wonderful and it was a great price for dinner and a show. Can't wait to come back again.
Outstanding service, and a great show. The fact that you receive outstanding service from the actual participants in the performance makes the experience even more appreciated.
For the size of the stage and venue, they do an exceptional job with the production. The meal is well prepared, tasty, and from what I understand, you can get as much as you like. It was definitely a great experience.
One of the best places to visit in Delaware! Saw Memphis on Friday night and the cast was phenomenal! If I Could give 10 stars I would because it was just a fabulous performance! The dinner was also wonderful with multiple things to choose from or you can try a little of everything. I had not been here for a show before and now I am a total fan! I will definitely be coming back for the Christmas show and bragging to everyone what they are missing out on if they have not been here before! Hey single guys... this would make a great date that will definitely be a memorable one!
We saw a White Christmas recently. Such talent and great food. We had amazing seats. Such a pleasure so close to home.
Get a group together and save money and enjoy everyone's company.
Please check it out.
It's a beautiful venue in a quaint little town. The food was filling and the show was very enjoyable. I'm a hour away but plan to return!
I am a huge Monty Python fan so when I saw that Spamalot was being done nearby at the Candlelight Theatre I decided to go see it.
I had no expectations before my arrival because I had never visited it before. What I did find was a scrumptious buffet that included wonderful varied items and the wait staff were the actors and actresses of the play. While bringing the drinks and offering to help in any way, they were friendly and told stories and interacted with the tables of people.
Anthony, Sir Robin, was at my table and was a delight. He pours the hot liquids expertly due to his training when he was 4. (Ask him to tell you the story 😆)
When the play started I thought it would be fun, but not well polished. What I got was a perfectly done play that was so enjoyable I was looking forward to coming back even before it was finished.
Upon leaving, the actors and actresses lined up at the exit to shake hands and thanked me for coming. Perfect end to a perfect day.
If you are reading this review, try to get there before the end of February and see Spamalot!
This place is phenomenal! We went for the first time this weekend and enjoyed every second! The food was excellent and unlimited. Great entrees and desserts. All seats have a good view of the stage. The wait staff, who are in or help with the show, were friendly and so helpful to us newbies. We saw CLUE and if you loved the movie you will LOVE this show!! Funny, well acted and just plain fun. My only negative is to say it was quite cold in there, so if you go take a sweater or light jacket, but honestly it isn't worth dinging them for it. I know it's hot under those stage lights! We will be going back and I will be recommending to everyone. Just a fantastic experience. So glad we went!!
Every time we go the talent the food the atmosphere is a blast!
We look forward to being back soon
My first time there I loved it. The service, food, and drinks were very good. I would come again.
It was a really good show I do miss the whole buffet but other than that was great as always
I always enjoy this place whenever I visit. It's a small venue which makes every event intimate & more personable. The servers are often many of the local actors/actresses. It's a nice local vibe.
Excellent theater... Dinner was delicious and the show was fantastic!
We had an enjoyable night but didn't realize there were 2 hours between the start of dinner and the start of the show. We we're done eating at 6:45 and had to wait until 8 for the show. Next time we'll come later for dinner. Food was about average for banquet type food but there were plenty of options and we certainly didn't go hungry. Our server Sophie was great. The show was very entertaining although because some of the actors we're so young, it kind of felt like I was watching a high school show. Hi
This place is absolutely amazing and unique. The food was pretty darned good and the show was terrific. I honestly wasn't expecting the talent to be as strong as it was! Definitely worth supporting a place like this. We had an awesome time! We'll be back!
This quaint little local theater brings some fun shows to life. The staff is friendly and professional. The buffet was just remodeled. Easy in and out. Free parking.
Great performance and delicious food! The service was outstanding and done by the actors! Wow! Look forwarding to seeing another show.
Good food and excellent entertainment. Couldn't ask for a better local theatre for a night out with family and friends!
Loved the performances. It's a cute little theatre with a big feel. It's nice not having to go over an hour away to see a Dinner Show. It feels more close and personal too. Can't wait to go back for next season! I hope they bring back season passes, maybe they still have them but I couldn't find how to get them.
Once again, I had the privilege of celebrating a birthday with a group of friends and a great time was had by All. The food, service and Play were outstanding to say the least. We saw" Big Fish" and have already booked reservations for the next Play, "Clue On Stage".
Fantastic staff, good food & an excellent show.
I haven't been to the Candlelight Theater for a while but is was nice to go back. This theater is an old barn and they have the most talented youngsters performing their shows that it is worth the money you put out on a ticket! It includes dinner, and believe me when I say their food is Delicious!!!! It would take to long to give my review, can't wait till I go back to see "Ain't Misbehaving" starting on July 31st. Can't forget to praise the servers, believe when I say I have gotten absolutely better treatment here than at some Restaurants my husband and I go too!! Kudos to our server Cody!!!!!! 🙂
It's a fun little dinner theater with some excellent food and great performances. It's a small-ish theater, so we were at a table in the back corner, and still had a fantastic view. I'm already thinking of going back!
We are incredibly fortunate to have such high quality talented dinner theater in Delaware🎭 Felt quite safe with non-communal table seating, service vs former buffet and new air purifiers😊😍 …
Truly dinner and a show, if I'm not mistaken the show is called Memphis. My daughter is part of the cast.
Always love going here! Great food and entertainment 👌🏼 …
I’ve attended the Candlelight Dinner Theater, for shows, many years. I was just in for my recent Birthday, with my daughter. I’ve always had a wonderful visit there. I ordered tickets for a upcoming show, and Betsy was extremely courteous, in my show tickets purchase. I highly recommend the entire staff to my friends, and family.
First timers at the theater and we loved it! Saw A Christmas Carol and it was fantastic! The acting, singing and dancing amazed us. A new experience for us at a dinner theater and a treat to be waited on by the actors! We'll definitely be back!
My daughter and I just saw" Mamma Mia" Jan. 23, 2022. What a terrific show. The cast was perfect. Laughs and music, so good. What a great place to go to. Congratulations to all involved.
It was a beautiful night with great friends.. Great show! Great food! Great service!
A true dinner theatre experience well worth checking out of you have,'t I say it is a must of you like off Broadway and dinner theatre experience!
The food was excellent. Servers were overwhelmed with the number of people but tried to do their best. The performance was excellent with very talented performers. Enjoyed the entire experience. Will return.
Great show, food, was good, excellent service.
Such a warm and wonderful place. Plays, comedy, dinner theater, special events and a terrific staff.
Tucked away in Arden, just a great place.
Absolutely great shows and very delicious meals and desserts. My wife and I have and will continue going there
This is a very good dinner theater and it is becoming more of a novelty as these types of places seem to be disappearing. They had a good selection of food here. The quality of the food itself was decent, but it was a bit lackluster. The desserts were very good though. What makes this Dinner Theatre stand out is the perfect balance between courtesy and efficiency. The staff here obviously knows what they're doing and they move quickly and purposefully before the show starts and during the intermissions. You can tell they've done this a thousand times, but they are careful to treat you like customers and not numbers. The acting and the quality of the show was very good and definitely accomplished its purpose. The writing and retelling of the show, Brigadoon, was well done, although it did speed up the pacing of the stage play to uncomfortable speeds from time to time.
I really love the candlelight dinner theater. It is so great to have a local place that puts on quality shows. I think that the buffet is always good also, with a good variety of food and lots of tasty deserts. We always get other people gift certificates for shows and take friends and family. Our kids like it too.
The food is good, and being a buffet, pretty much anybody can find something to eat. Plenty of drink options, and a really good brownie sundae you can add on. But the real treat is the theater. I don't think I've ever seen a bad show here. Their is some serious talent appearing on stage here. They also have interactive shows, comedy and trivia nights. Highly recommend checking them out.
This is one of the coolest things that you can do on any day of the week see in a really good local play and eats
Most importantly, the actors & actresses were wonderful. Well acted play with beautifully sung songs by the entire troupe. The food was fine. Certainly not gourmet but as good as you'll find in most restaurants in this price range. Speaking of price, $63 for an expansive buffet meal plus an enjoyable play is very reasonable. The facility was clean and neat but it was showing its age. It needs updating, but from what the folks there said, that's in the works for the near future. All in all, a fun night out and well worth the expense.
Great show and good food
I'm regularly impressed by the quality of their shows. The performers/staff do a great job of setting a fun atmosphere. The buffet served beforehand is quite good, but after having season tickets, it did start to feel repetitive despite the variations.
Food was good, service courteous, play was excellent
One of the coolest places on Earth! The buffet is off the charts and the local talent is mind-blowing. We have been coming there several times a year for many years and it is a 2 1/2 hour drive for us. Recently retired and moved to FL, we will miss our trips to Candlelight, but hope to catch a show each August when we come back to visit family and friends
Took my wife to see Beauty and the Beast. This isn't really my kinda thing but the show was good, they did an excellent job. Dinner was buffet style and there is enough for most people to pick from, it tasted pretty good also. Great staff, make sure you bring cash for a tip, they deserve it.
A fantastic experience. The staff (which double as the cast members!) is EXCELLENT. The place is cozy, yet large enough to not sit on anyone's lap. The food is very good. The show was so much fun, great crowd as well. Will definitely go again! (1st timer)
Food was pretty dang good for just being a little buffet, the drinks were very nice too. The show was amazing and the singing and actors all looked like they were having fun while doing it. Recomend it for older children, don't bring little kids
We saw three shows there in the two years we relocated to Delaware from NYC and have never been disappointed. Broadway quality shows with a delicious dinner for half to one third of the price Broadway shows. Tonight we saw an excellent production of Cabaret with a live band. We are eagerly anticipating the next show in late February 2020.
We loved the first show we went to so much we got season tickets. Cool place, excellent actors.
We've been going to Candlelight for a couple of years now. We bought the season pass this year because we enjoy going so much. The sets are always so well done and the actors and actresses are incredible, especially Anthony. The food is delicious and the people are kind. Jodi is so accommodating and always greets us with a smile. I'm not sure I could ask for anything more. Highly recommend for a great night out.
My daughter performed in The secret Garden as Mary Lennox .The director Bob Kelly did an amazing job on directing such a great show with a very talented cast. It was my first time watching a show and dining there and what an amazing experience it was. The location was great . Nice neighborhood . Food was really good . Its nice to be up close with the actors while they serve you. Everyone was very nice. Overall ....awesome!!!!!
We attended the production of South Pacific and did they really do the show Justice. The female lead did such a wonderful job that I almost thought I was listening to the movie. Everyone made the show a great production. We had 3 couples at our table and everyone felt the same way! The food was also done really well. The ribs were so tender and flavorful we went back for 2 and 3 servings. What a wonderful evening. Thanks!!! We were so taken with the show that we immediately signed up for the current show "Catch me if you can" about the true story of imposter Frank Abagnale jr. Can't wait for opening night on September 14th.
Always fantastic plays, well directed and produced. Great view wherever you sit. Nice, well stocked buffet and dessert bar. Well worth the cost. You get a super play and great food for less than you would see a play in any big city.
Such a lovely venue! In beautiful shape for being around for 50 years. I saw Curtains and the cast was phenomenal! So impressive and a lot of variety. The food is also delicious!
Anyone who has been to Candlelight will return for another show. The plays are always professionally executed and the atmosphere is to kill for. The servers during food time are your performers later, so you get to know them a bit before they head up on stage. Been many times, and will go for decades to come.
I had the pleasure of seeing the play The Drowsy Chaperone. It was very entertaining and kept your attention. Connor McAndrews did an excellent job as the narrator. It was a lively cast in general with a couple of outstanding singers. They did a good job on the dinner buffet that was included in the price of the ticket. Drinks were reasonable.
I saw Beauty and the Beast and let me tell you it’s my all time favorite Disney movie! Candlelight Theatre did an amazing job! Not only do they put on a show but they are also the staff during the dinner part of the night! They had to be super busy all night long and put on a fabulous production! Can’t wait to see what else they come up with but I definitely hope I make it back there one day!
An excellent value! What a find! I was visiting Wilmington and looking on the web for things to do, when I saw the Candlelight I figured "Nothing ventured..." I was very surprised with the quality of the food, the staff and best of all, the show. I do not live locally but I will be back, I can not say enough good things about the experience. Bravo!
We only saw a show so I can't speak about the food served (although the desserts looked delicious) but I can say that the performance, sound, lighting, music and stage were top notch for a smaller venue.
A quaint dinner theater .My 2nd visit. This little place Blew the roof off with their latest show "DO BLACK PATENT LEATHER SHOES REALLY REFLECT UP?. Well do they? The performers were fantastic the food was good, the service was great. The seating was to capacity, but everyone was fed some with second portions. I'm not a meat eater so I stayed out of the entree line. The salad had everything but hard boiled eggs an red onions. Terrific place for dinner an a show.
My wife and I and some friends attend almost every show they put on here each year. I never stopped being amazed at the quality of the shows they put on. The perform way above the standard for tiny Delaware dinner theater. Keep up the great work everyone!
Talented people, excellent food and service. However, bring a cushion for the chair, hard to enjoy the show when you can't think of anything else except how much it hurts to keep sitting-whole family experienced same issue. They desperately need to replace the seating!!!!
Went to see Sweeney Todd, one of the more difficult musicals, and they performed it amazingly. It was an extremely high quality show with an extremely talented cast. Great food, and great people. I definitely want to come back.
The food was wonderful I wish I could have eaten more. The dessert selection was awesome I wish I could have tried everything. That being shot the performance was one of the best I have ever seen and live theater I thoroughly enjoyed it and I hope to be returning again very soon Perry
Wonderful place to visit. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Dinner was good and the show was awesome. Staff were very friendly.
Lots of good food options and dessert on the buffet. Actors and actresses are the waiters/waitress and the show's are always wonderful! No bad seats.
The show was amazing and the food delicious!! The staff is very friendly and accommodating.
Our 34th Wedding Anniversary was our excuse for an evening with our boys and their girls and what a time we had. "Curtains" was an excellent production, the wait staff, made up of the actors, did a great job and the food was delicious. This must be where "singing for your supper" got started.
What a great show. The cast was amazing and had me laughing the whole time .The dinner was excellent and all the staff were great cant wait to come back again
What a wonderful surprise this was. We were virgins to the "barn" and watched the play Sweeney Todd. Seriously you have to treat yourself and your loved ones. I actually hate giving you this info as I would love this gem to stay as it is a lovely, quaint,charming small wonder in Delaware. The actors are personable down to earth sweethearts, the food is off the hook delicious and I am the worse critic so that is saying something! I just really cannot say enough about this place and the awesome experience we had. In fact I am in the process of booking " mame" for my entire family as a Christmas present to them.
We had a great time together at the comedy show. The comedians were great, laughed so much!!
Absolutely Fantastic! Great Food, Show and People ! Great Actresses and Actors! It rivals Broadway in New York City where I lived for over 70 years!
The food is good and everyone can find delicious items. Plenty of options to eat and drink. Theater is the true enjoyment. Interesting shows. Talented cast and pleasant staff.
This venue is very homey and has great performers. I've been to see a handful of shows over the years. This quaint theater is always has shows of the highest quality!
Today, a wonderful performance of"Guys & Dolls" songs are great, choreography was incredibly good. Not to be missed. As usual Buffet was plentiful. All good!
Such a great show! The food was good. The service was great. The show was fantastic. An all around terrific night.
Have been a season passholder for about eight year. Never saw a bad show or ate a bad meal. They go out of their way to make you feel like family.
Too many tables create an uncomfortable seating situation.
I would not return for this reason.
Sound system needs an upgrade. Sound was painfully loud.
Food was good/great buffet with something for everyone.
The buffet was good and the staff was very nice. The actors were great. It was a fun night out. I would recommend visiting if you are in the area.
It was the most wonderful experience! The proformance was the best!
A great little intimate venue. There was plenty of food and variety on the buffet. The show was really good quality. Enjoyed it!

It's a great place to go to and enjoy lunch/dinner and a show. The cast have been great at the two shows I've seen thus far, White Christmas and Sister Act. The food is delicious too! I would recommend and plan on coming back for more shows.
Great show, Great cast, Big fun!
Awesome atmosphere, Awesome show!
Food 3.5+, service 5.0, show 4.5, performers 5.0, overall experience 4.5+
I loved the players lined up after the show to thank us as we departed and give us a chance to thank them for their excellent work.
The story (Sister Act) followed the movie closely enough with a few twists to make it its own. The music was original for the play and proved to be a real treat. All of the performers were good, a few were outstanding. I don't set the bar high for local theater, they have to squeeze the pennies, but these folks cleared the bar by a mile. Kudos! Bravo! 👏🏽
This quality of theater deserves support and Candlelight delivers above and beyond. We'll be back; hope to see you.
