Carousel Dinner Theater
“Expect the Unexpected” is the motto of the Carousel Dinner Theater in Akron Ohio. People place prime importance on their leisure time. Good food and a entertaining show combine to make dinner theater a satisfying choice of a lot of people every year.
The Carousel calls itself the largest professional dinner theater in the country, but many dinner theaters seem to make that claim. It might be or might not be, but it’s one of the best. Carousel employs union actors, technicians and musicians. It’s not just a matter of supporting unions. It’s a matter of ensuring that every element of the production is undertaken by serious professionals.
Carousel Dinner Theater opened in 1973 in a converted supermarket, then moved to its current location in 1988. People can see the show while enjoying the meal, or fore go the meal in favor of just taking in the show. Over the last few years the production quality has risen, attracting even more serious professionals from the New York theater business. This means the Carousel Dinner Theater shows are even better than in the past.
“Wicked” has been a very popular play. This is the story of the Wicked Witch of the West, Glinda the Good Witch, and their families and lives before the events of the Wizard of Oz. From August to November of 2008 the Carousel urges theater patrons to see the “story that started it all,” the original story Wizard of Oz presented in a stage play. This production boasts a colorful Proscenium, which is the frame around the stage that rotates the different sets into place. Plays in 1973 didn’t have their own blogs.
The Carousel has hosted a lot of Broadway plays over time. It was “the Odd Couple” in 2008. The theater has shown Annie, Footloose, The Sound of Music, Grease, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers and many other productions over the years. Along with this Broadway not on Broadway patrons can enjoy excellent food. High School Musical will play there in 2009.
The Carousel Dinner Theater gives Akron’s citizens and visitors a taste of the New York nightlife. Take a look, you might be surprised.
