No matter what I be seen here, the performances have been top notch. From the vocalist, the dancers, and the band they all did fantastic. This is the best Christmas Show in the area. This Carolina Opry performance is more of a concert type of show, while the other Christmas show in the area is more of a theatrical performance. Both are amazing, this just happens to be my favorite. read more

My dad was interested in seeing the Time Warp show, which features music from the 60s, 70s, and 80s. My family and I hadn't been here for at least 8-9 years. We've enjoyed many shows here over the years. The staff we encountered were friendly. One thing that kind of bothered me were the time share people trying to get you to come over to their booth when you buy tickets and when you get to the show. I came to be entertained, not be hounded for a condo. I will say that they were polite and not aggressive, but it's still incredibly annoying. We were given a program with local ads and coupons, a map of the grand strand, and information and photos of the performers and crew. We sat in section G, row 8. We could see the show with no problems. Their seats were redone in 2014. The seats were really comfortable and the arm rests had cup holders on each side. I sat in an aisle seat and one of my art rests was able to go up, so if you need more room, you've got it. The seats slightly reclined as well, but they don't get in the way of the person sitting behind you. There is so much leg room with the seating as well. Someone can comfortably walk by to their seat without you getting up. The show started at 6:53, with a pre-show of some of the performers singing some songs. Their harmonies and voices were great. The main show started with the song "Time Warp" from the cult classic Rocky Horror Picture Show. The audience skewed older (mostly 60s+), which leads me to believe about 80% of the audience did not know where the song was from. The first half of the show was a mix of 60s, 70s, and 80s. There was a comedy bit and tap dancing in there as well. The audience wasn't all that enthusiastic and I kind of felt bad for the performers. Barely anyone in front of us clapped after the performances. They were a bunch of stick in the muds! A lot of the 70s and 80s songs were hard rock. Some of the women performers screeched their hard rock songs and it was honestly hard to listen to, especially the Janis Joplin song "Me and Bobby McGee". Screaming is not singing. It's not that they had terrible voices -- they didn't -- I think they were trying to emulate the original singers of the songs they covering instead of putting their own spin on it, and it didn't work out. Those women sang beautiful on the other songs, though. The intermission lasted about 20 minutes. My dad got a popcorn and water. The popcorn was good. The entire second half of the show is Woodstock. When the second act began, the performers started to transform the stage into Woodstock. Several of the sings formed a semi circle of chairs. They were donned in their Woodstock attire. The dancers sat on the piano swaying to the music. One performer would get up, sing part of a song and sit down. The next performer would get up, sing their song and sit down. Repeat a dozen times. I think they lost the audience by doing this. I could see the audience getting restless. I love songs from that era but having them for the entire second act wasn't a good choice. The performers were good. Honestly, some had stronger voices than others, but they all had great stage presence and energy. It takes guts to get up on stage and perform, so I'll give them that. Delvin Choice (who appeared in seasons 5 and 6 of The Voice) was incredible. His voice is insane. The dancers were talented as well, but I honestly don't think they were needed for this show. You are allowed to take photos, including flash photography. Overall, we'd return to the Carolina Opry, but we wouldn't go back to this show unless they did a complete overhaul. Ditch the Woodstock change for the entire second act. I'd leave in Woodstock, but then I'd go back to the 60s, 70s, and 80s songs. read more

Came down to Myrtle Beach for a mini getaway and decided to check out the Carolina Opry Show while I was here and it was better than I expected. It was a fantastic variety show with super talented performers. The show was 2.5 hours of singing performances, tap dancing, comedic acts, and a little bit of magic. Highly recommend for anyone visiting the area, to stop by one night and catch the show. They definitely put on a hell of a show and make it worth every penny. read more

Originally from New York, I was accustomed to large professional productions, which is what you have here. Their presentation of Time Warp was lively, compelling and enjoyable. Not to diminish their Christmas offering which is consistently excellent. read more

My wife and I were looking for something to do on vacation and ended up here. The show had lots of talented singers, belting out tunes we knew and enjoyed. We didn't expect there would be male cloggers or beautiful girls dancing. All dancers worked it so hard that I was exhausted just watching. Thanks for the performance. read more

This is the best show you will see anywhere! Every person on the stage was amazing. You will not see a show anywhere else with this much talent. From dancing to comedian to singing the were all awesome. Everyone of them have backgrounds in it. So these not just some walk ins. Highly recommend for the whole family. read more

Just returned from Creedence Revived show. Incredible! It was like gettin into the WayBack machine! If you closed your eyes you were transported back to the late 60s/early 70s. John Fogerty was at the peak of his career and the band was at the top of their game. I was a big fan of CCR in my younger days and I must say it was awesome to see a love performance after more than a year. Carolina Opry did a fine job of leaving two empty seats between parties in every other row. Since the demographic was mostly my age we were probably mostly vaccinated anyway . A really great experience. #carolinaopry #creedencerevived. read more

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

sound level with singers are way to load. exceeds safe listening levels, could not hear lyrics due to being distorted. No consideration for those wearing hearing aids. nice seats and stage if they would only lower volume. read more

My cousin and I took our moms who are elderly to this most incredible show. The show included the classics, the current, and the most awesome spectacle that we have seen. There was not one act of the performance that was lacking. Between the singing, dancing, costume changes, and the comedy, the Carolina Opry did not disappoint. Our mothers reminisced over acts that were classically remembered and we enjoyed the current acts that Included clogging (my favorite), dancing and spiritual music that celebrate the Christmas spirit. Thank you Carolina Opry for producing this extra special show. read more

Been going to the Opry at least 3-5 times each year for over a dozen years to see the shows. The Time Warp and Opry shows are very professional and 1st class. The performers are in step, physically fit and look and perform like professionals. We have also enjoyed the special music performances like the Eagles, CCR, Queen and other tribute bands there. The theatre seating is clean, spacious and well maintained. I recently went to the ONE show at the Alabama Theatre and it is no comparison. By far the performers, music, stage production and everything at the Opry is as good as any Vegas show. It is something you can see multiple times a year, just as we do, year after year. read more

Just watched the afternoon show and overall it was good. they do have some really good vocal talent and the dancing was very good. The musical arraingements I thought were not the best in some cases. Kind of high school play type of sound . One thing that really put me off was the finale. The song He's Alive is not Christmas. It is total Easter and did not fit. Why would you put this in an Christmas show ? Will I go back? No, even though it has some good moments I doubt I will return. read more

I took a friend to see the Christmas show last evening as a gift for her birthday. We had been looking forward to this for some time. As we entered the lobby we were greeted by beautiful decorations and amazing trees. Unfortunately, that was where the magic ended. We both were extremely disappointed with the show. We have been to Christmas shows at the Alabama Theatre and this wasn't even close. The show consisted of several singers singing song after song for the most part (except for costume changes) and the projections they used for backdrops were very uninspired (one supposedly showing people Christmas shopping had people in shorts and tank tops roaming through a store with no Christmas decorations). There was no change in backdrops and very little opportunity to get the audience involved. The dancers were great, the musicians were good and the young girl who was involved in several numbers was amazing. But between the western songs and the corny comic routines (still not sure what the detective had to do with Christmas) we both came away feeling there was nothing special about it and definitely not in the holiday spirit. Even the tribute to the veterans was a slide show of WWII soldiers. Our military has been deployed to numerous locations for the past 20+ years. The sacrifices they and their families make are the ones we should honor now. Since Christmas is a family time, I'm not sure if children were entertained by much, except possibly the Grinch. Finally, the theater was barely half full and the balcony was closed. I found that curious because when I ordered our seats it showed very few available. I'm not sure why this show was so flat. But I'm not sure I will try it again in the future. read more

We have attended many shows and we are never disappointed! The shows are always extremely entertaining! The speciality shows are wonderful also!!! read more

Came here with my family for the first time To watch their Christmas Show last month. The outside is absolutely beautiful and there is plenty of parking. The inside was also decorated very nice for the holiday season. It only has one concession stand- while sells snacks like popcorn soda and chocolate etc. and for the 21+ they have wine and beer. We had very nice seats pretty close to the stage, very roomy compared to Radio City in NYC. The show was nice- but a little too long. The singers were very talented and the outfits they were wearing were gorgeous, however, after awhile sitting there listening to countless songs, it did get a little boring. My family and I loved the comedy acts, the magic acts and the reenactment of How the Grinch Stole Christmas (this I think should have been a little longer). It was nice for a one time experience but I wouldn't go back and watch the same show there. read more

We just saw the Carolina Opry Show last night. All I have to say is AMAZING!!! A must see show that has a variety of top-notch entertainers. Looking forward to going again in the future when we are visiting again. read more

Amazing, amazing, amazing! when booking a trip here i highly recommend checking the schedule of the opry and plan around it. I was so lucky to be in town when they had the Christmas performance. i was also so surprised on ticked prices. For $57 each we got 2nd row center - SECOND ROW CENTER. I felt like they were singing to me and I could high five them for a job well done! Great size venue. The lobby was beautifully decorated for Christmas, we were ushered straight to our seats. The show was fantastic, great music, stage set up was excellent and the cast was amazing! not only the Christmas classics but some new versions too. My favorite part of the show was the clogging. Now, you see these edgy good looking guys in the mix with these stunning ballerina girls, dancing and singing. Then all of a sudden these tattoo guys are TAP DANCING TO TRANS SIBERIAN STYLE MUSIC. oh my god, coolest thing ever. Did i mention there is a part where the lights dim and their shoes glow in the dark?!?! Can't get a grip on how amazing it is, check out the video I posted. I later found out the group was on America's Got Talent - "All That!". Singing was beautiful, dancing was mesmerizing and the experience was unforgettable. I'd love to see a concert here! read more

The Carolina Opry show (one of several different shows produced each week) was a major disappointment in June 2021. We entered a parallel universe where the country and pop music was obscure, the jokes were old and rehashed, and the vocalists would never 'make it to Hollywood'. Fortunately, after 90 minutes, my wife tugged my arm and we sprinted for the door. "I laughed, I cried. It was better than Cats." read more

A must see! The Time Warp show was outstanding! The entertainment was a solid 2.5 hours with an intermission. Singing, dancing, interacting with audience. This is a show I would see again! The clogging dancers were absolutely incredible! Such amazing talent, it was so impressive. read more

Somewhat disappointed. Was really looking forward to the show, but they did country music in the forst half which I had never heard and really did not like. Second part was better. Erik Gumm was funny, but there was not enough of him. Too much cloggers. And since when do cloggers have Mohawks? This guy is ridiculous. Produced and sung well, although the cast seemed to be going through the motions. I will go back, but with lowered expectations. read more

I went last evening to the Time Warp show. Talented dancers, singers, musicians, for sure. One thing stood out to me. Call me crazy, but if you are doing songs by African Americans, like Donna Summer, Stevie Wonder, and Aretha, and not have a single African American on stage, you get no points from me. :( I was saddened. I am local here, and I know darn well there are many talented singers, dancers and musicians that could be on that stage that are people of color. I did enjoy the opening act, who performed " Judy Blue Eyes" and the best part of the show...and should be showcased as such...was the All That! Clogger group. Bravo to them. Calvin Gilmore?! Diversity. Diversity. Diversity. read more

I can't believe this place is not number one. This is the greatest live music singing and dance on the beach. No lip-syncing here like at Alabama Theater. Truly a talented cast Calvin Gilmore is known for his down-home country beliefs. Which we need in this country more! However you will see everything from bluegrass ,to rock and roll music, old school and new school R&B, soul, gospel and even some contemporary country type music. And not to be outdone they have big band and Frank Sinatra Style music. The most talented dancer's you will ever see. Also the lighting and Sound are the top-notch for this area. This show has something for everybody even Magic and a award-winnin upbeat clogging team that has been been on television various *. This is the show if you really want great live music. I was in the Navy 20 years and went all over the world seeing everything from California to New York and even over in the European theater. Quit wasting your money on the other shows and come here this is where the money meets a quality show. Number one I've been coming to Myrtle Beach for over 50 years. This is the one you want to take your date to or your wife. Or both just kidding , if you so desire. Also don't forget your children. Have fun and enjoy my tip. Have been to both shows the Christmas and the summer show all excellent. Will be there this summer for their next new show. Real live singing amazing talent. read more

In my opinion, Delvin Choice is the star of the show. He is full of youthful energy, and a talented performer. All That also gave off youthful energy, especially the performer with the Mohawk. Beyond that, everyone had great vocal performances, but the energy level and the songs were that of an aging population. The most touching part of the performance was their tribute to veterans and military service members. This last bit made up for the senescence of the show. read more

The Time Warp Show is fantastic. A very talented group of singers and dancers. Definitely worth the trip, very entertaining. read more

I came here on a Tuesday evening with my Dad and his wife and we had a great time! This is a variety show filled with something for everyone. There was a little bit of comedy, some clog dancing, some dancing, and all kinds of music. They announced some anniversaries of people and some birthdays. It was just the right amount of audience participation. These are some really talented people. The harmony in the music was beautifully performed and I loved the women's wardrobe changes for each song and dance. Absolutely an amazing show! I highly recommend this for anyone visiting Myrtle Beach. On a last note, the concession stand offers beer and wine and popcorn and snacks and parking is plentiful and it's easy to get in and out of. read more

Awesome! I feel like I went to church, to a play, to a concert, & to a comedy show! I'm 35 and it was great, I can't wait to bring the kids next time! read more

My husband and I have gone to the Carolina Opry for at least 10 years. We normally see the regular show and The Christmas Show. We have always loved it. This past Thursday we went and the music was ok but just not our favorite selections. My main motive for writing is to say this. I am not a prude. However, I think that the costumes worn by the lady singers have gotten skimpier every time we have gone for the last two years. It is so unnecessary. I happen to know that two of these ladies are Christians, as amI. I am in no way judging that. I just feel that a little less skin would be fine. Normally there are beautiful gowns that fit nicely. Lately, too much skin is revealed. I just feel in this day and time when there is so much perversion that it would nice to see a Christian with less revealing outfits. We love Delvin Choice too. I hoped that he would have sung more. He is fantastic. We love all the singers and musicians. This is just my opinion fir whatever it is worth. I doubt that we will be back nevertheless. read more

Went to see the Christmas show. What a great show. All of the singers had excellent voices, especially Moses Braxton who sounded like the great Lou Rawls. The dancers and comedian were also very good. Like being on Broadway. read more

We went to see the Time Warp and the adults like the music but the teenagers did not enjoy themselves. There was an intermission to get snacks if you like. read more

My wife purchased 5 tickets for the Pure Magic show and everyone was excited to dazzled by some magic tricks and illusions. After the first ten minutes I wanted to walk out for a refund. The show was very slow and not much more than a guy telling a story with some illusions. I was expecting a David Blaine type of show for the $108 that I payed. I would not recommend this show unless you have small children under 10 years old that like flashy costumes and lights. read more

The show was good, but it's country music heavy. I'm not the biggest fan of country music so I feel like I didn't appreciate it as much. The singers are excellent, the dancers are okay. Decent way to occupy your night. Lots of old people in the audience at the beginning of October. read more

Went for the Christmas Show. We were extremely impressed with the talent and production of the show. We were also impressed by the beautiful Christmas decorations throughout the whole facility. There are two reasons I wouldn't give this place 5 stars. First, the show lasted nearly 2.5 hours. Even with an intermission, it started to drag on and we were starting to wonder if it was ever going to end! If they cut out some of the less than impressive aspects of the acts, they could keep the gems of the show and save on time. Second: The moment we walked in the door, we were corralled over to a booth offering $10 vouchers to be used at concessions or the gift shop. The catch: sign up to do one of those timeshare sales pitch tours through Wyndham. Even after we told the guy we were locals, he continued his pitch. We found this really offputting and took away from the overall experience. read more

Show format hasn't changed much since the 90s. It's just the same 'ole show, just with different songs. As The Carolina Opry enters its 35th anniversary, I hope they start taking risks, change things up and do whatever it takes to stay relevant and excite their audience. read more

This was fantastic! The comedy skits were so funny that I was crying! The music was amazing, there wasn't a bad voice in the group. I would come back to Myrtle beach just to come to this show. It was great! Thanks Carolina Opry! read more

We went for my birthday and this show was so great! It was extremely entertaining and worth the money. All of the performers were multi talented. Without giving up spoilers, I especially loved the comedy in between songs! The Christmas in the South show is awesome. I could've watched those cloggers all night. Love it!!! read more

My mother had written a review for the Carolina Opry, but somehow I don't see it here. It was: "I was offended by the "comedy", which consisted of making fun of gays, fat women, and bashing the President of the United States." I echo these sentiments (I booed the comedian) and will add a few of my own. While most of the singers were very talented, the "comedy" was abysmal. Send that "gent" packing, he's not helping your cause. She gave it two stars, I'm giving it one. read more

This by far is the very best show and entertainment around today. The artist's are very talented and put on an excellent show.

I flew to Myrtle Beach to visit my friend for Thanksgiving. As we were driving back to her apartment after a day of Black Friday shopping, she noticed a billboard advertising the Christmas Show at the Opry and made the comment, "You know, I've always wanted to go to a show like that but I've never been able to." Well, being in the holiday spirit I said, "That sucks. You should definitely get to see theater shows. Let's go! My treat." So I looked up the phone number (who can read numbers on billboards when whizzing past them?) and reserved two tickets for the next show... which happened to be in 8 hours. We picked out some cute, Christmas-y outfits and made our way over to the Opry. The Christmas spirit was in the air and it seemed like it would be a great night. We settled into our seats towards the back and as the curtains opened, we just looked at each other and laughed. What was this? It was like hillbilly sketch comedy. Pretty ridiculous. There were some entertaining moments and the main comic relief character kept us in our seats for the duration... but the singing; oh my god. Seriously? It was just awful. Most of the actors couldn't carry a tune and the costumes they wore during their performances gave the show a circus feel. I don't know if my friend and I (both from Ohio) just didn't understand the southern humor, but when the show was over we felt a little cheated. My friend was happy that she got to see a big Christmas production, but I could tell she had hoped for more. The best part was taking pictures of each other around the SC Opry. Verdict: Corny. Good for kids. Good for uptight religious folk. Have a drink or two first. read more

My family visits the Myrtle Beach area every year, but this is the first time we have tried a show. My wife chose the Carolina Opry because of reviews she read. We are not country music fans, but do appreciate all types of live music and talented musicians. We took our three children, 12-14 years old, who are definitely not country music fans, so I was a little nervous going in. Because of the potential of having grumpy, unimpressed teens and pre-teens, I went for the cheaper tickets. I'm glad I did, because we were on the main floor and could see everything just fine. At the concession stand we purchased two large tubs of popcorn and four 20 oz. bottles of soda for $19. That is probably half the price of the same at a movie theatre. I thought the show was good, both the talent and the production. I loved the lead guitarist, and wish they featured him more, One of the female singers was outstanding. For a show they do over and over, the performers seemed to be into it and giving it their all. I thought the comedy was a little corny, but the kids loved it and it was there favorite part. There were kids there whose ages were in the single digits, people who appeared to be in their eighties and everything in between. I thought it was a show appropriate for all of them. I would have been a little more into it if I was more familiar with country music, but that is just my taste. The whole family enjoyed the show and we would attend one of the other shows at this theatre. read more

We attended the Carolina Opry last night. The show was disappointing compared to "One" at the Alabama Theatre. The comedy was very political & way too long! It was just not funny at all! The musical talent was very good, but the song selection left a lot to be desired. It was mostly country, of which I am a huge fan. Many of the songs I was not even familiar with! The closing number of the show did not fit with the theme of the show at all. The cloggers were great & very entertaining. The musicians were all superb & did their best with a weak format for a show. The vocals were mostly spot on! We will not go back to see it again. We recommend going to "One" at the Alabama Theatre instead. read more
