    Great time/experience
    The staff is so friendly and professional and goes above and beyond. The Good Earth staff was very informative about the theater. The staff at the theater was great. The Wednesday Jazz show was awesome and will be on our calendar to attend. Positive experience all around. Looking forward to attending again!

    Superb show and dinner as always
    Still the best show in town; top notch magic entertainment (we saw Mark Phillips this week) in a newly built comfortable theatre with excellent sight lines. The parlour itself has some interesting magic-related artifacts and decor. We ate beforehand at the restaurant, light fare freshly prepared (my companions greatly enjoyed their vegetable/lentil dishes; I went for the brisket which was spicer than I expected but I still wolfed it down). This is an enjoyable way to have an early dinner without having to rush to get to the show at 7PM

    Big city entertainment in a small town venue
    What a fun night! This place is amazing - dinner was delicious and reasonably priced, and the staff and service were very friendly. We saw Chris Capeheart the magician - he made us laugh and was extremely talented. The seating is comfortable, and all seats have an excellent view. The decor is fun too! This was our first time here, and we’ll be going back.

Randy did a fabulous job! We just kept saying “how in the world did he do that?“He was so professional, and even his assistant Jordan was extremely professional! It was well run, funny, he was inclusive remembering names in the audience and engaging audience participation! Wonderful night out! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend his magic show to families of all ages!!!

Literally just finished the show and wanted to post a review. We had an absolutely wonderful time - Randy was funny and entertaining. We were nervous going in as it’s a very intimate setting (about 40 people) and we had our four year old with us (as anyone with a four year old knows, they can be unpredictable). My son hardly moved a muscle throughout the show and was even called upon to help with the last trick. We highly recommend you catch a show if you can.

Saw the Dickens Parlour Theatre magic show at the Holiday Inn in Ocean City two years ago and returned again tonight. The show is up close and personal - only about 35 guests. The shows are amazing- completely entertaining.

Thank you! We are a family venue and try to keep our prices affordable but the first class magician who travel here are well worth it!

We were a group of 36 senior citizens on a three-day excursion from New Jersey. With the addition of a second small group, we filled the theater for a fantastic evening of magic, laughter, and audience participation! The magic was totally amazing, and Rich’s on-point adlibbing kept us in stitches.
I would definitely recommend this show for “something different” in the area.

It was a fun and entertaining performance. Our group of 7 ranged in age from 15 - 62 and we all laughed and enjoyed the show. It is nice to have live theater in town.

Sorry but this Community theater productions are almost too tedious to sit through. High School Drama Clubs & certainly Salisbury University productions are better ways to spend your money! I'm not a good actress but I'm pretty sure I could do better than 5 of the 6 I saw on stage who were over acting to the point of absurd.

Hi Sherry, I think your review is for another venue or event. Dickens Parlour Theatre has professional entertainers and have not had any community theater events recently. I invite you to come to our theatre and see one our our shows, you will not be disappointed.

Outstanding magic in a small setting (so the slight of hand is the real deal). The owner, Rich Bloch (a well-respected magician in his own right), provides an unique setting for his expansive network of pals. Magicians enjoy this venue 'cause it's fun! We've been twice on family visits and are always AMAZED at the top quality. It's great for kids of all ages (skeptics are especially welcome!). The programs are usually under an hour, but you may continue to the adjoining building for dessert and more magic.
It's worth a visit to the area just for this ...

We live in Bethany and come here at least once a year, usually with grandkids under 12. Dickens is located near the Giant grocery store. It is a disservice that Trip Advisor doesn't include it in "things to do" in Bethany Beach. We came early and had a coffee and wine while waiting for show time. The front room is a lovely palor. We all were invited to the back building for the main show. What a show! Everytime we are amazed! Many nationally know magicians come here in a varied rotation. After the show everyone is invited back for some more slight of hand from the magician du jour. A wonderful night of entertainment for families and date-nights.

We drove by this unassuming, small(ish) theater on vacation and thought we'd check it out for something to do, and glad we did! The theater is designed for close-up magic; comfortable seats, nicely furnished. The magician was very talented and entertaining. Good service in the parlor before the show with free popcorn and options for drinks and light snacks. After the show, the magician was available back in the parlor for a meet and greet. Gracious, welcoming theater hosts. We weren't expecting to enjoy this as much as we did, would recommend to others and go back ourselves next summer.
