First, take your honey to see the wildly popular musical, I Do! I Do! just in time for Valentine’s Day. I Do! I Do! is the most popular show in Chanhassen Dinner Theatres’ history. The audience joins Michael and Agnes as they live out 50 years of marriage in just two hours. Beginning when the happy couple ties the knot, I Do! I Do! takes the audience through all the ups and downs of a lifelong partnership: successes, disappointments, good days and bad days. It’s the story of all that happens after you say, “I do!”
Next, see the Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber musical Jesus Christ Superstar, opening Feb. 4 on the Main Stage. This rock opera comes to Chanhassen Dinner Theatre for the first time and tells the story of the final seven days in the life of Jesus of Nazareth. In this story, Jesus is a prophet/rock star who takes a meteor-like rise to fame. It features the songs Superstar, Everything’s Alright, and I Don’t Know How to Love Him.
Don’t forget—call the box office to book your seats for this deal. We at Patch wish you a great date night.
