Tenerife: MHT – Music Hall Tavern Comedy Drag Dinner Show

The best thing about MHT Music Hall Tavern is that it gives you a complete night out in one place: cast meet-and-greet, dinner, live singing, comedy, dancing, and a full stage production. The show is performed entirely in English, with broad jokes, old-school slapstick, singalong numbers, and costumes built to catch your eye from the back of the room.

I like the steady flow of the evening, since the pre-show begins before the main production and the entertainment continues in two parts after dinner. I also like the at-seat drink service, which means you can order without missing a punchline. The main point to consider is the food: it is a simple home-cooked menu rather than a destination meal, and a few people have found it plain.

Key points before you book

• A four-and-a-half-hour night at Karting Las Americas: The show starts and ends at Music Hall Tavern, making the venue easy to understand once you arrive.
• A new summer 2025 production: The format keeps familiar singalong routines while adding fresh material, costumes, and comedy.
• A full three-course dinner is included: Soup, turkey roast dinner, seasonal vegetables, gravy, and dessert are part of the standard ticket.
• The entire show is in English: That matters for comedy, audience interaction, and fast-moving stage jokes.
• Optional transfers can save you trouble: The show ends around 11 p.m., and finding a taxi afterward may be difficult without prearranged transport.
• A family-friendly choice: Children can eat the adult meal or choose chicken nuggets and chips.

A comedy night rather than a quiet dinner

MHT is not a formal cabaret where you sit quietly and wait for a singer to finish. It is a lively dinner show built around comic timing, big expressions, drag performance, live vocals, dance routines, and plenty of audience energy.

The style is deliberately accessible. You do not need to know Tenerife, drag culture, or a particular performer to follow the jokes. The host speaks English, the comedy is broad, and the familiar music and singalong sections help carry the evening along.

The show has a strong British holiday-entertainment feel. That means slapstick, playful teasing, bright costumes, and jokes that aim for a quick laugh rather than subtle theatre. If you enjoy a relaxed night with plenty of noise and audience participation, this format should suit you. If you want serious drama, experimental performance, or a gourmet dinner, choose something else.

The new summer 2025 production keeps the classic MHT feel but adds new material. Since the exact running order is not provided, you should expect the general mix of comedy, music, dancing, and costume changes rather than a fixed list of acts.

Arriving at Music Hall Tavern inside Karting Las Americas

Your meeting point is the reception of Music Hall Tavern, located inside Karting Las Americas. You show your voucher at reception, where staff direct you to your table and the evening begins.

The venue setup is useful for a dinner show because the meal, drinks, stage, and performance all happen under one roof. You are not moving between a restaurant and a theatre, and the activity finishes back at the same meeting point.

Seating can affect how much you see. The room has plenty of space, but a side table near the toilet door may not have the same view as a central table. If the performance matters more to you than the meal, it is sensible to tell the provider about any mobility needs or special seating concerns before the evening.

A table may also be shared with other people. That can be part of the fun for a group night, but it may feel less private if you are travelling as a couple. One useful detail is that the standard setup does not promise a private table for two.

The meet-and-greet gets the evening moving

Before the main production, you have a chance to meet the cast. This gives the night a personal opening instead of dropping you straight into a dark theatre.

The meet-and-greet is included in the ticket, so you do not need to pay extra for this part. It also gives you time to settle in, find your table, and get familiar with the performers before the show becomes louder and faster.

Special occasions can receive extra attention. A hen party, for example, may be able to arrange a shoutout and bubbly for the bride-to-be. This is not guaranteed for every booking, so you should ask ahead if you are celebrating a birthday, hen night, anniversary, or another event.

Dinner: filling, familiar, and not the main reason to come

The included meal follows a straightforward three-course format. You begin with vegetable soup, then have a turkey roast dinner with turkey, roast and mashed potatoes, seasonal vegetables, and gravy. Dessert completes the meal.

Children can choose the adult meal or chicken nuggets and chips. Vegetarian diners can request a bean-based steak, and the provider says other dietary requirements can be accommodated if you provide the details when booking.

I would set your expectations at solid dinner-show food, not restaurant cooking. The menu is familiar and practical, which works well for a long evening of entertainment. Some diners have found the meal tasty and well presented, while others have found parts of it a little bland.

That difference matters because the ticket price includes dinner, but the meal is supporting the show rather than competing with it. You are paying for four and a half hours of food, service, and performance. If a carefully prepared meal is your priority, the value may feel weaker. If you want an easy meal before a lively show, it does the job.

Drinks are not included. You can buy them at the bar, and table service continues through the performance. Several useful details come together here: you do not have to leave your seat to order, the service is designed to keep the show moving, and drink prices have been described as reasonable.

The pre-show warms up the room

The MHT pre-show starts the entertainment before the full production. This helps avoid the flat feeling that sometimes comes with waiting for a dinner show to begin.

Expect comedy and interaction rather than a long formal introduction. The pre-show gives you a sense of the performers’ style and gets the room laughing before the main production begins.

This is also where the English-language format matters most. Comedy depends on timing, word choice, and quick reactions. Since the host and show are in English, you should be able to follow the jokes without relying on gestures alone.

The main production runs in two parts

The full MHT show is divided into two sections with a short interval. This is a practical arrangement for a dinner show. You get a chance to stretch, order another drink, and reset before the second half.

The production combines live singing, dance routines, comedy, and elaborate costumes. The singing is not simply background music for dinner. The performers take the stage as a proper cast, with the comedy woven around musical numbers and visual gags.

The costumes are a major part of the appeal. Bright outfits and exaggerated styling help the performance read clearly across the room, while the drag format gives the show its distinctive look.

The comedy leans toward facial expressions, physical humor, familiar songs, and audience interaction. One of the pleasures is the speed of the evening. The acts move along, so there is little time for the room to lose energy.

You may be teased or brought into a joke, especially if you are sitting near the front. That can be hilarious for people who enjoy being part of the action, but less comfortable if you prefer to watch quietly. Front-row seating offers a close view and a greater chance of interaction, while a side or rear table may feel more relaxed.

Why the English-language format helps

Tenerife has many evening shows, but language can make a big difference. Here, the comedy host and full production are in English, so you can follow the punchlines, songs, and audience exchanges without guessing what is happening.

This makes MHT a practical choice for English-speaking families and groups with mixed ages. Children can follow the general format, although parents should remember that comedy drag shows may include teasing and adult-style humor even when the experience is described as family-friendly.

The phrase family-friendly should be understood in a broad entertainment sense. The show is designed to welcome families, but it is still a drag comedy performance with audience jokes and nightlife energy. If you are booking for young children, ask the provider about the current production if you have concerns about the material.

Transfers are worth considering for the late finish

The evening is listed as running from about 7 p.m. to 11 p.m., with a total duration of around four and a half hours. That makes transport an important part of your decision.

Optional transfers are available, but they are not included in the basic show ticket. The bus carries an MHT sign by the front windscreen. You should wait at the stated pickup point 10 minutes before the scheduled time, since drivers wait no longer than five minutes after pickup.

The provider reconfirms the exact pickup place and time by email. Read that message carefully rather than relying only on the original booking details.

Hotel pickup is especially useful if you do not have your own car. Finding a taxi after the show may be difficult, and the late finish limits your easy alternatives. Transfers are not available from Puerto del Carmen or Tenerife North, so check your pickup area before paying for that add-on.

If you are driving, you still begin and end at Music Hall Tavern inside Karting Las Americas. If you are relying on a taxi, arrange the return before the show rather than hoping to find one at 11 p.m.

Is the ticket good value at about $50?

At around $50 per person, the ticket is reasonable if you want a full evening rather than a short stage performance. You are getting the cast meet-and-greet, a three-course meal, the pre-show, the main production, and table service for drinks.

The supplied pricing also refers to tickets from €44 per person, so the amount can vary by date, currency, or booking option. Check the final price at the time you reserve, especially if you are adding transport.

The value is strongest for people who would otherwise pay separately for dinner and entertainment. It is also useful for a group celebration because the evening gives everyone a shared activity, meal, and performance without needing to plan several stops.

The value is weaker if you judge the ticket mainly by the food. The menu is simple, drinks cost extra, and seating may be shared. Think of the meal as part of the package that keeps the night convenient, not as the central attraction.

Who should book MHT?

I would recommend MHT to you if you enjoy:

• Broad comedy and old-school slapstick
• Drag performance with bright costumes
• Live singing and dancing
• Familiar music and singalong moments
• A social dinner-show setting
• English-language entertainment
• A planned night out for a hen party or family group

It is particularly useful when you want one organized evening during a Tenerife holiday. You arrive, eat, watch the show, order drinks from your seat, and finish where you started.

I would hesitate if you want a quiet dinner, a private table, sophisticated theatre, or a highly polished culinary experience. The show asks you to accept shared seating, audience interaction, and a simple menu as part of the bargain.

The venue is wheelchair accessible, but you should advise the provider in advance if you are bringing a wheelchair or pram. You should also mention any medical issues that could affect your comfort during the night.

Book MHT or choose another night out?

Book MHT if your ideal holiday evening includes laughter, singing, costumes, and a meal without much planning. The strongest part is the entertainment: the show keeps moving, the performers use expressive comedy, and the English-language format makes the jokes easy to follow.

The sensible way to book is to treat dinner as a useful extra rather than the star attraction. Arrange transfers if you do not have a car, ask about seating and dietary needs ahead of time, and remember that drinks cost extra.

At about $50 per person, MHT is a good fit for a fun, social night with plenty happening. It is not for everyone, but if you want a cheerful break from beach bars and restaurant dinners, this is a clear and easy choice.
