The history of theatre goes all the way back to the 1970s, when audiences were eager to see "living movies." See how far these unfilmed talkabouts have come in only 40 years with today's Groupon: for $199, you get a five-show dinner-theatre subscription pack for one to see Move Over Mrs. Markham, Motown Gold, All Shook Up, The 39 Steps, and Why Do Fools Fall in Love? along with a buffet-style dinner at Stage West in Mississauga (up to a $393.41 value).

Stage West sates bellies and famished funny bones with evenings that include a hot 120-item dinner buffet (drinks not included) alongside the spectacle of famed comedies and musicals. Arriving audiences find their side seats in the tiered 600-seat Las Vegas–style theatre, then at 6:30 p.m. (or 5 p.m. on Sundays), spectators can hunt and gather morsels at the all-you-can-eat buffet, followed by curtain about 90 minutes later. The season kicks off with Move Over Mrs. Markham, a fast-paced farce rife with mistaken identities and plot twists. Motown Gold peers into the past without sprinting backward at the speed of light, illuminating the birth of Detroit's Motown record label. The season winds down with Why Do Fools Fall in Love?, in which four girlfriends mellifluously reveal their love lives through 1960s hits "I Will Follow Him" and "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me."

The audience dress code requires finery such as dress shirts, slacks, and skirts.
