Why We Like This Place

Teatro ZinZanni promises a night of Love, Chaos & Dinner, but what it really delivers is the time of your life. The best time, in fact. This exuberant cirque cabaret and dinner theater is not just a premier location for one-of-a-kind events, it's the antidote to boring parties and the cure for the deepest depression. The performances are enthralling, the food is gourmet, and the smile doesn't leave your face—even after the evening's festivities have ended.

Reality shifts as you step into the voluptuous lobby where a young woman—poured into her hourglass costume—welcomes you with perhaps a feather boa, top hat, or signature cocktail. (You'll notice that all the professional staff is in full cabaret regalia.) Chandeliers, brocade, and red velvet evoke a sense of old-world luxury, while the circular bar in the center turns this space into a theatrical spot for pre-event cocktails, or even a sultry champagne ceremony.

Teatro ZinZanni's main magic takes place just beyond the lobby in their vintage Big Top, the Palais Nostalgique. This exquisite Belgian spiegeltent was built in 1926 and transported from Barcelona, Spain to the United States in 1998. Originally used in Europe as a wine-tasting and dance hall venue, it's now inhabited by divas, madmen, and cirque performers, all creating an atmosphere vibrating with humor, music and sensuality!

Beveled glass columns support the circular theater and dining room, whose antique tassels and drapes, subdued lighting, and carousel poles hint at the show to come. Whether you take over a just a section of the Palais or buy out the entire venue for your event, most of your guests will be seated in plush raised booths set around the tent's perimeter. From their elevated perches, they'll have a full view of the cabaret-style tables, wooden dance floor, and formal stage, and be able to hear every word thanks to the circular structure's natural surround sound. As for the seasonal five-course feast, it's so seamlessly integrated into the entertainment the audience is able to equally savor the food and the performances.

Teatro ZinZanni's world-class performers change frequently, but every show serves up a sublime combination of interactive theater, cirque and fine dining. The staff is dedicated to helping you produce the event you envision, whether it's a wedding, rehearsal dinner, birthday party or other private bash. One couple gave their guests a wonderful shock by turning their party into a surprise wedding. Their extremely creative ceremony was "enhanced," shall we say, by Teatro ZinZanni's wickedly talented performers!

This one-stop "jewel box" of a venue is long on imagination and completely customizable—down to the last detail. So if you want an experience that is truly unforgettable, consider an evening of Love Chaos & Dinner. After a night in this remarkable place, you and your guests will be transformed.
