The Broadway Palm Dinner Theatre opened in 2001. In a major metropolitan area where performing arts venues present concerts, plays, music and dance in nearly every community, the Broadway Palm offers a unique alternative to the typical theatre event.

Tickets to the Broadway Palm Dinner Theatre include both your meal and the show. The doors open between 1-1/2 and 2 hours before curtain goes up. Many people will arrive early to enjoy cocktails in the lobby, or to line up at the door to be in the first group to enter and be seated. All seats are assigned, so there's really no need to do this! I recommend that you arrive within that first half hour of dinner service so that you can enjoy a leisurely meal and take a quick break before the show starts.

Don't want to eat dinner at the Broadway Palm Dinner Theatre, but you want to enjoy the show? There are 75 "Show Only" seats available. These are theatre-style seats in the rear of the theatre. The "Show Only" seats are all elevated.

Broadway Palm Dinner Theatre Factoid: All the music for the Broadway-type shows is performed live. The orchestra ranges in size from 8 to 20 pieces, depending on the production.
