The Wilson Center at Cape Fear Community College is an ok venue. It could be great though. There is…read moreone entrance that is also the only exit. This isn't a problem as much when entering but when everyone is exiting the same way it just seemed a little much. It seems they could utilize others doors to get people out faster. Leaving a show is one thing but in an emergency time is of the essence. The orchestra level seems lacking in adequate restroom stalls for a performance with an intermission. I was there for two performances of Come From Away which has no intermission so that seems like it was a positive for this venue. On my second performance, the paper towels were out of at least one machine before the performance started. I walked to the venue so did not deal with parking but it seemed most parked in the garage across from the entrance/exit to the venue. The lobby has some seating and the concession area is mostly focused on beverages with a few food items like pretzels (cold not served warm); a charcuterie box and candy. I had hoped for better options after the disappointing cold pretzel the first night I did not get anything the second night. Then they wait until 30 minutes before showtime to seat the ADA guests. Every other venue I have been to does this much earlier to give a full 30 minutes to the rest of the guests to get to their seating. The first night I was there we were not allowed in until after 7:18 for the show that was to begin at 7:30pm. I thought it was a fluke the first night then they waited to seat the ADA guests the second night too. My seats for both shows were in the pit but I didn't know the seating was office chairs so that was disappointing. I tried to bring a jacket with more cushioning for the second night. I did enjoy both shows even with the uncomfortable seating. I drive to see shows at many venues but I don't see myself driving to a performance here again.

For numerous years, we have visited the Myrtle Beach area to enjoy the annual Christmas Shows. We…read morehad always loved taking our parents and grandchildren to Alabama Theatre and to Carolina Opry. Sadly, our parents have been long gone and the grandchildren are now grown and out on their own. However, just my hubby and I still made the long drive to Myrtle Beach again. We found out that Greg Rowles now had a show of his own and a new theatre-- The Legacy Theatre. AND we read that the Greg Rowles show had one of the highest ratings of all shows in the Myrtle Beach area! Amazingly, although they were rated the best, they offered greatly reduced ticket prices for all newcomers... which was great! We showed up almost an hour early not knowing the time we would need to get through Myrtle Beach traffic. Once in the lobby, we saw the employees form a large circle. They were all holding hands -- when they invited us to join them. Then they brought up individuals who were sick, or ill, or just needing prayer, Mr Rowles led them in prayer. They prayed for their show and all of their attendees. Mr Rowles offered words of encouragement and thanks to his employees. It was a very moving experience. Before being seated we were able to purchase delicious, freshly baked cookies (sold in individual cellophane bags), freshly made coffee and amazing hot chocolate from the refreshment center. Everyone on the team felt like they were our long gone family members. Watching the show, I found myself laughing, crying, praising God and oh, so grateful that we could hear AND see the talented singers and band members. Visiting the souvenir shop at half time we were able to buy a Christmas Ornament. We asked one of the employees if we could move up from the far end of the third row to two empty seats on the first row. She told me she almost came and got us to offer us the opportunity to move up. It seemed as if every employee on this team really does care about making one's visit memorable. After the unforgettable show, there was a long line of people wanting a photo with Greg, including me and my husband. There was an older woman, all by herself, who shared how much she had wanted a photo with Greg, but had something wrong with her leg and could not get up the stairs to the stage without railing. My sweet hubby helped her up and back down. Seeing how thrilled she was with her photo made us both happy. It seems everyone in attendance left with an even bigger heart of gratitude and concern for others. Yes, we thought we would just enjoy a wonderful Christmas show. . . but instead we got... A TASTE OF HEAVEN!!

Such a Fun and Entertaining Experience!…read more I'm usually more into traditional plays than musical theatre, but the Greg Rowles Legacy Theatre totally won me over! This month's performance was 80s-themed, and they absolutely nailed it. The song selection was spot-on -- from Cyndi Lauper to Bruce Springsteen, and even a fun nod to classic 80s sitcoms. The energy was great, the performers were so engaging, and it was impossible not to sing or dance along. The audience skewed a bit older, but I brought my 9-year-old with me and he stayed focused and entertained the entire time -- which says a lot! They did an excellent job keeping everyone involved and having a great time. Whether you're a fan of music theatre or just looking for a fun night out listening to live music, this place is worth checking out. We'll definitely be back!

Alabama Theatre, Monday, Sept, 22, 2025. Four of us (all adults) were vacationing in N Myrtle…read moreBeach, SC, and were considering going to one of the many evening shows that are offered in this tourist town. It was challenging to agree upon a show as two of our guests were international visitors, and were less familiar with the English-language lyrics of popular American songs. We decided upon the ICONIC show, because it was described as a family-friendly musical variety show. My husband and I twisted arms a bit as we were familiar with the theatre having visited there years ago to see a different show ("One"). The ICONIC show was high energy, featuring a cast of highly talented musicians, dancers, a comedian, and even aerialists. The show featured country hits, classic rock anthems, Broadway favorites, and pop ballads, all professionally choreographed and with frequent costume changes. Stunt comedian Max Winfrey, who was featured on America's Got Talent, provided comedic relief between sets. The show was about two hours of non-stop entertainment. All four of us, even our international guests, enjoyed it. The Alabama Theatre, founded in 1993, was clean and comfortable, with excellent acoustics. The temperature in the venue was comfortable in late September. We were in orchestra seats (section B, row 5), but there wasn't a bad seat in the house. The theatre is in Barefoot Landing, where patrons could avail themselves to pre-show dinners or shopping. Parking is free and plentiful. Our orchestra tickets were $54.95 each, including taxes and fees. They do not offer senior, military, AAA or AARP discounts. (We did see a brochure that advertised a summer special wherein 2 kids aged 16 and under are allowed per paid adult). No refunds or exchanges are allowed. Our rating for the experience is 4.5, rounded up to 5.0. A few minor things prevented a true 5.0 rating. (1) Upon entering, we were unknowingly directed to table where the gentleman tried to sign us up for a timeshare presentation at Wyndham Resorts; and (2) some of the actors seemed uncomfortable in the costumes and were seemingly "just going through the motions" in some of the later musical selections, especially the Under the Sea/Ariel and Aladdin ones. We would visit the Alabama Theatre again when next in the N. Myrtle Beach area.
