About
So Much More Than The Sum Of Its Parts
Think about “dinner and a show.” Sure, a show is nice, dinner out is fun, but put them together and you’ve got a night out like no other. At the Candlelight, dinner and a show are inseparable…each extensive menu is specifically designed to parallel the performance you’re seeing, making your mouth water not just for the meal but for the show as well.
This attention to detail has allowed the Candlelight Dinner Playhouse to become the largest and most popular professional dinner theater in Colorado, performing musicals both old and new and hosting Grammy award-winning performers.
Located just south of Loveland and north of Longmont, the Candlelight Dinner Playhouse was built to enhance, nurture, and support the arts that northern Colorado is known for. When you’re ready for that perfect evening or afternoon, see what “dinner and a show” will fit you best .
