“List of dinner theaters”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

This is a list of dinner theaters. Dinner theater (sometimes called "dinner and a show") is a form of entertainment that combines a restaurant meal with a staged play or musical. Sometimes the play is incidental entertainment, secondary to the meal, in the style of a sophisticated night club, or the play may be a major production with dinner less important, or in some cases, optional. Dinner theater requires the management of three distinct entities: a live theater, a restaurant, and usually a bar.
