While vacationing in Myrtle Beach, we had a great evening at the Carolina Opry. Lots of great music with dancing. There was also a comedian, kinda funny but not hilarious. Lots of music, mostly country. The theatre is big and clean. They also have an intermission when the concession stand is open for snacks and drinks. read more

Went here for the first time on Sunday May 3rd 2026 with my parents and couple of friends. We were there to see the Killer Queen Show. First off, very beautiful venue, easy to find the seats and where the seats are located. Outside looks like an old time opera house, they do have stairs though. Inside they have a little gift shop and food stand. While entering the smell of popcorn fills the hall. Ticket attendents got the line moving and was pleasant. Got inside and the seats were comfy. As for the show, itself Killer Queen, didn't really like it as much, and for starters the band didn't open with a familiar song like Bohemian Rhaspsody. In my opinion a good show starts with 1 or 2 familar songs, then in the middle have a few new hits that may be unheard of, then close with another 2 popular songs. to add from Queen I only know of songs like Bohemian Rhaspsody, We Will Rock You, We Are The Champions- now while those were played-- waited until the very end to hear them. Also the band had to pull everyone out of their seats multiple times- and I mean if one plays a popular song, we will automatically get up and dance! Also to add, background- I remember in the Queen Movie they showed how to do the dance of both We Will Rock You, and Radio Ga Ga- show it in the background so that the audience can do it! or have a band member do it! Will admit for me, I'm more than likely to spend my money on a show based on a band that I know- like Taylor Swift, The Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus, Backstreet Boys, to name a few! Would be cool to have shows like that at this theatre! Anyways, despite this experience, we may be back for another show! read more

What a beautiful venue. We saw the Christmas show which was amazing. The talent is top notch. The seats are so comfy. Can't wait to catch my next show at the Oprah read more

Carolina Opry - Performing Arts Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

During a quick off-season visit, I stumbled upon this hidden gem! I was browsing Google Maps to see what attractions were nearby when I came across this spot. I've heard of the Opry before and initially thought of the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, but then I realized this is just a small but super cute venue right in Myrtle Beach. While we were in town, the show "Time Warp" was playing, and I honestly thought it was an homage to the Rocky Horror Picture Show. My partner loves that movie, so I decided to get tickets. We weren't sure about our plans, so I waited and booked last-minute tickets, which can be reserved 24 hours prior at a discounted price, probably one of the best decisions! The "Time Warp" show featured songs from the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s. The vibe was fun, the talent was superb, and it was just a great time overall. If you're in Myrtle Beach, I definitely recommend giving the Carolina Opry a visit. You won't be disappointed read more

We both enjoyed it, but we both agreed that the Alabama theater beat them out. This is mostly a singing troupe. If you see me there , it must be Xmas time. Stop by and say hello. read more

A fantastic show. The musicians playing a wide range of instruments from a harmonica, a variety of guitars, keyboard, washboard, accordion, banjo, mandolin, bass fondle, grand piano and more were incredible. The singers were great and changed into so many outfits, the dancers were a delight I loved the guys tap dancing and the beautifully graceful female dancers. The comedian was hilarious. The venue was spectacular and the seats were comfortable with plenty of leg room and room for people to pass. Great seats throughout. Bonus, go online and order folex tickets. They are about a third of the price of regular tickets. The catch is that the ticket office assigns tickets to fill in where there are spaces. They guarantee to not split up groups. There were just the two of us and we had great seats. Oh and we received a $5.00 credit for the snack bar. read more

We have seen several shows here and will return again. Such talented people! We saw Time Warp (my favorite) and The Carolina Opry this trip. We saw the Christmas Show last year. VERY entertaining the whole time. It's amazing how fast two hours go by when you're there. All of the staff, from the ticket takers to the concession stand are very friendly. Can't wait to go back next trip. read more

Carolina Opry is fabulous venue to see a show in the Myrtle Beach area. First off, the building is stunning inside and out. Your first look at the building gives off classic southern charm. The lobby has thirty foot high ceilings with a grand piano and art relating to the theater. There are two grand staircases leading up to the balcony. The concession stands offer a variety of items including some adult beverages. The theater itself is modern and there isn't a seat in the house that doesn't have a good view of the stage. Oh, as far as dress code. Well many people dress to the nines but you'll find others in shorts (this is a beach town after all). I just wouldn't wear a t-shirt because you'd probably feel out of place but I'm sure you can still get inside. read more

The Christmas show was great. The only flaw was that the music was too loud. All of the performers were terrific.

We were there to see one of the tribute acts, this one was BeeGees. We saw 3 shows when we were there. They were ALL worth the time and money. We really enjoyed all of them. This one started at the oldest songs, or when they were youngest. There was a good video that went along with the music highlighting the era and music. The musicians and voices were extremely good. Was amazed at how many instruments they could play. The music and songs slowly built so that the last 15-20 minutes. We were all singing and quite a few dancing to the music. VERY much worth the time and money. read more

We always have a great time at the Opry! Very talented individuals musically! The staff is amazing! If there was one thing I'd recommend is your bathrooms smell something awful! It's such a nice place but that was the one thing that made my nose turn! I'd recommend the commercial grade room sprays they sell on Uline! And changing the mop head and do a deep cleaning! read more

Carolina Opry - During Time Warp - Performing Arts Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

We've been coming to Myrtle Beach on vacation for years. Coming to a show at the Opry was one of the highlights of our vacation, However the last few years we've been, one of our favorite performers wasn't there. I'm not sure what has happened, but Where is Delvin Choice???? He was our Absolute Favorite of all of the singers!! read more

We went to see the Christmas show at Carolina Opry yesterday and had a wonderful time. We went to a matinee show but we still had front row seats. The music, singing and dancing was just as excellent as we remembered. We had not been to a show in several years and were very excited that we had decided to go this year. The seats are large, roomy, and they rock! We won't wait so long next time before we come to another show. This was great! read more

It is what it is! Something Southern and different. Delvin was great. Can't believe the number of costume changes. read more

Saw Almost Elton John last night at Carolina Opry and it was an excellent show. He looked like Elton John and sounded like him. He performed for an hour and 40 minutes and kept the Opry rockin! His band and back-up singers were great! We have been to several shows here and have never been disappointed! Keep up the great shows! read more

I would not recommend the Christmas show ... they are using live animals ... way to ruin what could have been a good show.

I cannot say enough about how entertaining and outstanding this show is! Exceptionally talented singers, dancers, and musicians! The sets and costumes are top of the line, as well. There is something for everyone from traditional Christmas carols to Gospel, Country, Rock, and Blue Grass. The comedienne was hilarious! This show is over 2 hours of pure festive joy! And it is a CHRISTMAS Show! NOT a holiday show. Thank you Carolina Opry! read more

I went to their show last night and absolutely loved everything. The singers, the dancers, the musicians, the comedian, and all of the costumes were really wonderful. I had gone to the Alabama theater the night before and was disappointed. So thumbs up to Carolina Opry Theater. My only small nudge is that there's very little support for people with mobility issues or handicaps. Walkers and wheelchairs are taken from the people and if there had to be a quick exit, they would not be able to leave. It's also a long walk from the handicap parking lot. read more

I really like this theater for several reasons. It is very clean and they have a nice popcorn and soda deal. The shows are pretty good , a little scattered or strange for me being a yankee. Saw the 60s,70,s,80,s show last week and it was just ok. The attempts at Diana Ross really gave my tinnitus a reason to ring and ring! The comedian was really kind of out dated , my teenage daughter had no idea who aunt B was .. It's also a different thing for us to see the tap dancers, we enjoyed that part of the show. I have seen several shows here and they always have the same tap dancers, one of them thinks he's a chicken ( Mohawk haircut a foot high ) I think it's fake? I like many of the songs , the crowd didn't really get into this show like the last one we attended. My thoughts were that the show didn't really progress chronologically.... It ended with a really long Woodstock tribute which is obviously not chronological. I think you can always say that they played the wrong songs but that's petty subjective and your never going to make everyone happy. Do not pay full price, go online and get a half price deal. If I paid full price $60 I think, I would not have been happy .Definitely a nice outing and I recommend taking in a show while in Myrtle! read more

We were in the area on vacation and decided to book tickets for the "Time Warp" show. It was a stage show celebrating the music of the 60s, 70s and 80s. The show was excellent. The musicianship and choreography was excellent. If you're looking for a great way to spend two hours in a comfortable setting this is it. The theater is large with comfortable seating. read more

I was down in Myrtle Beach, SC visiting my now retired parents and despite their living there a few years already, we had never manage to attend a show at the Carolina Opry together until this most recent visit for the Thanksgiving holiday. I was glad to do it since another check-in on Swarm, and another potential Yelp overview. The Opry is also called The Calvin Gilmore Theatre and its a spacious place that I think can fit about 5K under normal circumstances but with social distancing being the need based on the virus its probably only permitted to sell half the seating. Though my folks had attended this particular seasonal show during earlier holidays, it was time for the Northern Son to enjoy "The Christmas Show Of The South" with them and once inside the spacious theater we found that our row was empty on all sides around. This was great considering the time we are in. The show begins with a Country-fied group of musicians who sing a handful of songs to warm the crowd up. These are also part of the company that will do the full holiday show so double work is on their agenda. That's good inside information for any musicians who are entertaining such a move as well. Among the talented company was Delvin Choice who was a finalist in "The Voice". Having never watched an episode of that talent competition, I was glad to enjoy his skills up on the stage. The show itself was loaded with standards and many of them had a slightly Country vibe to them but there was a small section towards the middle that got a little heavy and I enjoyed this quite a bit. If I was not mistaking it, this was clearly a nod to the mighty Trans-Siberian Orchestra who we would usually be seeing as the holidays got closer but this year have also been forced to do a virtual streaming show. Overall this was a wonderful family experience and is a high recommendation for the holidays if you are in the area. Since the Opry hosts shows every day, you don't need to worry about missing anything should the holiday presentation be over. Happy Holidays to you and yours and please be safe. read more

Hands down , the best show in Myrtle Beach ! Fun show , great cast and awesome music ! I've been visiting the Carolina Opry for years and the entertainment never disappoints. Recently , they began offering "local" tickets for $19.95 if you live in Myrtle Beach or surrounding counties (including Charleston) . Just Google for more info on if this deal is still valid. We saw Time Warp on this most recent visit and it was lots of fun . Great music with clever comedy and skits infused into the show . The singers are amazing ! Each one seems like they should have a record deal . Inside there are restrooms on either side of the venue , a gift shop and concession stands . They also offer plenty of free parking on site . Check out the Carolina Opry next time you are in Myrtle Beach ! read more

Google: "Things to do in SC Myrtle Beach during the Winter?" Number 1 Result: Carolina Opry Christmas Show. Yes, yes, yes the Opry deserves top billing. The theater has a gimmicky tourist outdoor look, but the indoor ambiance has a homey local feeling. Decked out with massive Christmas trees, hanging displays, and warm holiday trinkets it was beautiful for a family photo op. The show began with a country group of musicians singing a handful of songs to warm up the audience. Bringing baby to her first ever 'concert' she was hooked by the welcoming sounds, the twinkling lights, and the fake bubble snow. The show itself was wonderful. Knowing nothing about the Opry going in, I figured variety acts Christmas themed? Yup. So much theatrical variety- what a hidden gem of talented artists. Singing, tap dancing, rockette-style dancing, comedy acts, instrumental acts- each performance had something unique to it. The good ole' traditional Christmas staple songs were presented with exceptional energy & personal passion from the artist. The artists clearly love their job & enjoy working with each other. A very enjoyable night worth the ticket price! read more

Saw the Christmas show. Really great talent, but maybe lower the volume some as it is too loud to enjoy the great singing voices and the band. I saw an AC/DC show back in the day that was less noisy! Also easy on the fake snow, It is just too much. Came home all soapy feeling :) read more

OMG it was outstanding. Chas Crofts Sorrells rendition of Bobby McGee was like Janice reincarnated. Brad Long is another Steve Perry only better, and the energy the dancers brought to the show was AMAZING!! read more

I've seen this show several times in the last ten years and the musicians and vocalists are excellent as always, but despite how the show markets itself, there was very little musical genre variety this time around. However, the comedian "Ricky Mokel", was by far the worst aspect of the show, and came close to ruining it for us. Among the excessively politicized "jokes", his bit about a mugger from Atlanta sexually assaulting an elderly woman created an air of discomfort in an audience that was predominantly composed of senior citizens. It seems odd they would allow this sort of tone-deaf, inappropriate content in a "family friendly" show. Not to mention the strange bit where he cross dresses as an old woman after having made several jokes about gender confusion. Very corny, weird, and out of place. By the third time he came out on stage, we used that as our opportunity to use the restroom. Minus the "comedy", the talent was great, but for $60 we expected more variety in a Variety show. We will most likely not be returning. read more

The evening performances are eclectic and diverse: cloggers, singers, dancers, comedy and live music. The Carolina Opry is a hidden gem full of talented artists.

First off, the building itself is very nice, sitting in an area with the Pirates dinner theater. Plenty of parking. We did the 'flex' tickets which allowed the theater to pick our seats in return for half off the price. As there doesn't seem to be a bad seat in the place, it was a great deal. As for the show, it was two and a half hours (with one read more

I like everything about this venue, the people, ease of parking, the show and bartenders are nice. It was a fun evening. If there is one negative, it's the time share (vacation share) sales push after you pick up your tickets. Other than that, it was a really nice evening!!!! read more

The Carolina Opry is a fantastic and professional performance venue. I see it every time I am in town. The singers are diverse and so is the music.

I know what I was in my past life! A Carolina Opry dancer lmao! We enjoyed The performances consisted of very talented cloggers, singers, dancers and the comedy was hilarious. My group commented that the temperature in the theater was cool which was important because they do not want to feel hot while watching the show. The restrooms were clean and smelled good. They appreciated that the seating was low enough where you would not be looking directly at the back of someone's head. I really appreciated that there was true motorcoach bus parking. Unanimous 5 stars. read more
