Circa '21 Dinner Playhouse

The staff here is incredibly friendly! They’re always happy to interact with guests, whether before the show or during moments when they step offstage. The Bootleggers are also great about passing messages to the actors if you ask them to. The cast and crew truly appreciate it when fans create art or cosplay as characters from the show. Overall, it’s a fantastic theater experience in a wonderful venue—I enjoy it every time!

We cannot recommend Circa 21 Dinner Playhouse enough!!! Obviously the shows are fantastic, but not only that…. the food is delicious, the building is beautiful, the staff is friendly and helpful, and the bootleggers/waitstaff are attentive and perform a wonderful pre-show! My husband and I have been coming for many years, but the last year and a half have been even more meaningful with 5 of our kids performing on the Circa stage here and there. Seeing Circa from the other side has only made us love the place more!!! We have got to see firsthand how the staff and actors pour their heart into the entire experience! We are so blessed to have such a unique entertainment experience in the Quad Cities!!!

We are fortunate to have this gem nearby! Love going, and typically enjoy the food. However, the Junie B Jones brunch was much lower quality than we have ever experienced at Circa 21. Don’t recommend the brunch. The shows are always great!

We love Circa 21! The dinner was fantastic. Sadly, our brunch experience wasn't as good, but we love the shows and the bootleggers always do a fantastic job!

What a treat! Came here while on a road trip and saw Miracle on 34th Street. The venue, the musical, the actors and staff were all phenomenal. The food was very good as well. Definitely an experience that you should try sometime!

Absolutely worth the time and money. The shows are fantastic but the food is a notch above that. The chef and the staff just wrap it all up with their pleasantries.

Really need to reach to find fault with anything about the 'Circa21 Experience'! Dinner, Bootleggers, performance (actors, set, choreography, music, sound) easily met our criteria for exceptional entertainment, 'The Adam's Family' was, in fact, delightful! Just a few days left to see this show, but we're already looking forward to the 2025 Circa season! Return worthy!? Absolutely!

Took the family to see The Addams family musical. The food serve before the show was amazing. Choice of 4 main dishes, with sides and drinks. The servers which they call bootleggers, were attentive to all our needs through the show. Will definitely go back again soon.

Parking: Lots of road construction in the area.
