An Excelsior businessman and theater aficionado looks to be the next owner of Chanhassen Dinner Theatres.

New ownership: Please upgrade the food quality to match the theater quality!

Bloomberg expanded what would soon be renamed Chanhassen Dinner Theatres, adding stages in 1970, 1974 and 1978. The facility currently operates three stages serving nearly 250,000 patrons a year and owns a place in the theatrical record books: When "I Do! I Do!" closed in 1993 after 22 1/2 1/2 years and 7,645 performances, it laid claim to the high-water mark for the longest run of a show with its original cast.

So is that 23 years? or would that be 22 1/4 years as it is 22 1/2 1/2 years... hmmm this is why the newspaper industry is going belly up... nice editing / writing!

I love the Chanhassen Dinner Theatre and I hope that it will be there for along time to come. I went with my husband before we were married to see I DO I Do and I have been there to see many others. We are planning to go and see the next Nunsense which is now playing soon for both of our Birthdays. PLease keep the Chanhassen open and keep the shows going. Where can a person have dinner and see a good show for such a good price?
