...were $75 each (four of us attended) and dinner was included with the show.
Forgive my lack of sophistication in this matter. I haven't been to a dinner theater in decades, and never to one with linen tablecloths, candles, wine and formal service.
Our server presented us with a menu that listed all of our options. It explained the starter courses and entrees that were included with the meal and numerous other optional "upgrades". We arrived a bit late, so in order to keep things simple, we stayed with what was included with our tickets. Meal was wonderful, by the way.
The upgraded entrees were an extra $13 to $15.
After a bit of discussion that centered around whether we should tip on the total bill or try to figure the food portion and tip based on that, we tipped her on the total cost of the tickets, show and meal, $60.
Is that how you would've handled it?

BONUS LINK: My son and a classmate painting the "scrim" for the production. He was an "intern" at the Arizona Broadway Theater this summer, and helped prepare the sets for the production, working alongside a professional set designer. His classmate was also an intern.
