The talented staff both serves & entertains making for a very intimate & enjoyable evening. The food is simple, but the total experience is great! I bring my grandkids when they visit & they always seem mesmerized by the live broadway-like singing & entertainment. I really enjoyed the Beatles Revue.

We had a delightful experience that included great music and good, well-served food! The singers and pianist were talented and fun, interacting well with the audience. They balanced singing, acting and serving the meal perfectly and the evening went by fast! We will attend definitely attend this theater again when they open next year and encourage our friends to as... More

This place is a fun place to go for a light meal and enjoy an evening of musicals and a play. The meal is an appetizser, sandwich with side, and dessert. Your waiters and waitresses are also part of the show. This would be considered of-off-off broadway, but a great time.We saw the Elvis how which was cute and entertaining.... More

My husband and I attended the theatre last Friday night and could not believe the total lack of service from the moment we arrived till we walked out after not being served our meal. We arrived and a woman who came in behind us, started talking-to the gentleman at the door,ignoring the fact the she pushed her way in front... More

We really failed in every aspect of your evening with us. I cannot apologize enough for your experience, and must say again how sorry we are that your evening was a disaster. I dispute not a word of your review, and I can only hope that you will give us another chance some night in the future to make it... More

We went last night and has a blast! This is no easy accomplishment as our family includes adults, a teenager, and a two year old. We felt so welcome - even with our little guy in tow. I strongly recommend this theater. Just BYOHC (HC=highchair) because you will be eating (a lot!) and they don't have any.

The Carousel's show was unique, funny and relaxing. It was in the good old tradition of singing waiters and waitresses. Crazy mixture of 50's standards followed by a comic 15th century classic laced with 70's music. The singing was great but as was stated before, no one took themselves too seriously and everyone had fun. The food was light sandwiches...I... More

We're here visiting Boothbay Harbor and we were looking for something to do in the evening as there is not a whole lot of nightlife here. Saw a review for the Carousel Music Theater and discovered that it's very close by to where we're staying and figured what the heck. Seating was comfy, long tables with high directors chairs. We...

We highly recommend the Carousel Dinner Theatre if you visit Boothbay Harbor, Maine. It is very informal, being in a building styled like a barn. The owner is a high school drama teacher and he is a lot of fun and quite a ham. The performers are all young people who make a real effort to entertain and they are... More
