Jubilations deserves a star upgrade because of the time and consideration taken to provide some outstanding customer service.
I was treated to a night at Jubilations this week by a client of mine and she has significant dietary restrictions for medical reasons. A week prior to our reservation, the chef called my client to discuss her needs. She must have a liquid diet and told the chef to use her imagination. The night of our reservation, we received top notch treatment. Our server noted that we were exceptional guests and she would do her best to cater to my client's needs, which she did.
For those who are familiar with the meal protocol, you know you are served soup, salad, the main course and desert. The chef tried to emulate the standard meal options for my client via blended items and also made a solid effort to create a respectable presentation. My client was served soup broth, then blended fruit with a hint of cayenne to replace the salad as starters. Her main course consisted of three separate hot, blended servings presented in a variety of glasses. One was pureed carrots, another pureed potatoes and the third was some sort of spicy tomato soup. Desert was this awesome looking mocha milkshake with a mint leaf. My client was absolutely beaming with gratitude and we certainly felt exclusive. I know she doesn't receive treatment like this very often so this evening was very special for her and I was so thrilled to be there. The staff truly were amazing.
I must add that the food was better than I remember or maybe there have been improvements. The carrot cake was in fact the best I've ever had. I was skeptical about how much I'd enjoy the show, as it wouldn't have been my choice. However, within 20 minutes I was sold and by the end, I thought the show was fantastic, as every show I've seen in the past.Listed in: Extraordinary Excursions, Places That Keep Me Coming…

We spent New Year's Eve at Jubilations and it was awesome! We've been there before and were always happy with the performance and the service so I thought I should mention it.
We'll be back

Last night was my first ever visit to Jubilations, yes, a little embarassing considering I'm a block away. And I loved it!
The show we saw was 'Greased', so yes, a Grease theme, but with some Albertan twists to the fun story. We heard some of the classic Grease songs, with some other popular ones from the time. The cast was funny, entertaining, and made the visit by staying in character the whole time.
The whole evening is fun! You definitely aren't bored between acts, and in total they probably had about 15 audience members participate. Even we did! and we got some free drinks for making slight fools of ourselves.
At our table, we had 3 of the 4 main course options and all were received very well. All of the food was delicious!
I will for sure be returning for the next show (I think it starts in November) and will probably buy one of the ticket packs as it will be worth it. -

Last weekend I went and checked out "Luck Be A Lady" at Jubilations Dinner Theatre. I had never been and I will be the first to tell you that Jubilations is now my favourite theatre in town.
From the moment we walked in, I was impressed. Their theatre is beautiful, way better than Stage West if you ask me, and their cast & crew are wonderful! What I especially loved is that the moment you step foot inside, you're transported into a realm in which EVERYONE is part of the production. From the usher who takes you to your table, to your server, to the guy who pours your drinks; Everyone is in character.
Now let's get to the food. Excellent. I have a bit of a strict eating regiment, so we called ahead and the chef made me a meal based on specific ingredients that I can eat! SO considerate! Plus with soup, salad, an entree and dessert, there's no chance you're going to leave this place even remotely hungry.
The production was excellent, the theatre was beautiful, the staff was professional, the cast & crew were magnificient, the meal was delicious, and the entire evening was one of the best I've had. -

Actors usually make a living as waiters, but at Jubilations they get to do it all. Some of the characters from the play take your order and stay in character the whole time. (Which explained why our food at one of the plays took so long -- our waiter was dressed as a Canada Post employee).
But the play -- no matter which one -- is always entertaining and a good time. The food was great (although not much of a selection) and everyone seemed to be having a laugh. The food comes out in courses, sometimes up to an hour between. But the entertainment grabs your attention. A play and dinner at Jubilations usually takes three hours, but the time flies. -

Jubilations really is all around good fun. It's a great evening for dates, friends and families.
First of all you get a show. Now, the shows are usually a parody of something... Pirates of the Great Saskatchewan, Best of 'Friends', Thank-You Elvis Presley, etc. They are always a comedy and always full of laughs. Not only do the actors and show keep you entertained, but so do the waiters, greeters and announcers. Everyone is in character and themed to the performance that is going on. It really is a hoot!
The menu is a little different too. With each performance change, so does the menu. You start off with soup, then get a salad and your choice of main course and desert. They always offer beef, chicken, fish and a vegetarian dish, so there will always be something everyone will like. The food isn't gourmet-style food, but it's good and fills the hole in your tummy. Everything is included in the ticket price, with the exception of alcoholic beverages... those cost extra, but aren't too extreme.
The sets and music are always extreme and very elaborate. I've been astounded each time I've gone at the lengths that Jubilations takes to ensure the atmosphere is up to par. I love that every worker in the theatre is in character. It really makes it an enjoyable, and laughable experience.
The productions are always family-friendly so you won't have to worry about exposing children to anything too scarring, but they also have hidden innuendos that only grown-ups will pick up on. It really is a great time for everyone.
The tickets may be a little expensive, but you're getting three and a half hours of entertainment and food. It's definitely worth it to check out a show because once you do, you'll want to go back time and time again!
