What a MADHOUSE! We bought the premium tickets online, never offered the VIP. We came here at 7pm,…read morebecause the email said regular tickets come 730, VIP comes at 7. Unsure we came at 7 they said pick tickets up 720, we returned 2 lines, the only sign saying prepaid tickets proceed through scanners. Went through scanner, nope VIPs only. The security directed us to the long line that wraps half around the building. It's frustrating and we weren't the only ones to experience this. Once in line, you proceed through the metal detector, past security, there is a booth, where the employees ask your name. Once you provide it, they hand you tickets, and you proceed to the photo area. The staff takes your photos to sell to you later during the show. Before getting to the show and seating, you stay in an area where there is a 3 person band playing, and signing.They do country, as well as some classic rock. The band themselves were very good, and got the crowd to participate in their show, calling out where they are from, and being overall interactive. While in the area, they sell refreshments, alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages, popcorn, glasses and so on. At approximately 820pm, the staff directs you upstairs to proceed through the red curtains into the seating. If you buy regular tickets your in rows 4+ going up. These seats provide an overall better view of the arena, it's not so high you can't see, maybe 10 rows to top? The premium seats are first 3 rows, if you have small children who want to be more interactive in the show and have a better view I would recommend these seats. Our waiter Tim, was a great guy, funny, and attentive to needs. The dinner, was served, starting with a roll, vegetable soup. Next came the Cornish game hen, then mashed potatoes, corn on cob and brisket. Overall the food was good, and lots of it! You get your own mini rotisserie chicken, and 1 scoop of each of the other. Before the show starts you pick your desert, our options were apple crisp, or chocolate coconut cake. We got the crips, which came to us hot, and delicious. You can order drinks from the scan code at the table, or the waiter will come by pre show and ask what you would like to drink. Options were coke products, tea (sweet and unsweetened) lemonade, and water. Moving into the show, so first and foremost, i haven't been to a lot of dinner shows. This one however was great, they had horsemanship, races, competitions and more. Once the show begins the show master, begins by amping up the crowd, 1 side is the north, 1 side the south, they have friendly competitions for both sides during the show. They have you cheer on your team, as they race around obstacles, pick up flags and return the competing against the other side. They also do pig races, where you cheer on the north or south, overall I believe there is 10-11 completions, all fun, and gets you amped up. During the competitions they will bring out people from the crowd (2-3 times) and have them participate in the games, and also a little wagon magic tricks. Besides the completion thy putting shows such as riding horses through and around obstacles, a butterfly show (horses with wings, lights and people acting as butterfly's). They also have some aerial displays and parts of the show. Overall a fun experience minus the mass confusion at the beginning, would recommend going especially if you have children. You won't leave hungry, the food I would say is worth it, the show is worth seeing. Things worth noting, it is a little expensive, tickets for 2 can be north of $100, the drinks, for 2 plastic mason jar alcohol drinks with tip $50+. Be prepared to spend a little. 2 show times, 6 pm, and 830pm.

We bought the VIP tickets. Expected a lot more for the price. We got a phone call to tell us to…read moreshow up at 4:30 for the 6:00 show. Waited in the heat until doors opened at 4:45, then went inside and ushered upstairs, where we were corralled into a roped area. At 5:40 the M.C. And his sidekick came to sign autographs. No true special treatment. Only plus was guaranteed front row seats. Food was generally ok. Chicken was decent, the pork was really good. The corn was nasty and the soup bland. As a slow eater I wasn't able to finish my main before dessert came. Got to try both. One bite was enough. The show was decent. Tough to watch at times because of the servers. Even with a broken ankle I limped to our seats, handicapped seating was way up top. Maybe I expected more because of all the positive hype. Generally disappointing experience.

First time my husband and I saw the show. Loved it. Will go back. We laughed all night!!read more

They're anti-2A and anti-Law Enforcement. Went with my family and as a federal law enforcement…read moreofficer, was carrying concealed as I do EVERYWHERE. Not only was I informed that concealed permit holders are prohibited from carrying inside, but that law enforcement officers not actively responding to a call in the venue were also prohibited. Yet, the armed security guard at the door with 3.5 minutes of training was allowed inside with a firearm. I spoke with the manager who was very nice and understanding and agreed to refund my tickets. I'm sure there are folks reading this who disagree with me on this and that's fine. I chose not to be a sheep in a world where wolves are everywhere dressed in sheep's clothing. You do you though. I grew up in Tennessee, so this was the absolute last thing I expected in a conservative, pro-2A state. How does a business that takes this stance survive?

I can't wait to see how good he is after he has some "adult hood" under his belt! The venue itself is ok. No bathrooms inside, you have to use a "general" bathroom for the whole shopping plaza, and its cleanliness was questionable. The venue was just a main room and a small, theater. It felt old and outdated, but perhaps that's the charm they were going for. I really, it was a good experience and lots of fun.

I have to be honest- upon pulling into the parking lot we were very unsure about what we had just…read moresigned up for. Upon walking in it was a very family owned and operated establishment. Check-in was very easy. Everybody was so friendly and the smell of popcorn and filled your nostrils. We loved how they offered chair cushions. We arrived early (keep in mind, no bar available) and waited until the music started to find our seats. Seats were first come first serve. Hayden Lynn (I may have spelled that wrong) by all means a fabulous entertainer. We learned at the end of the show that he is actually an award-winning Elvis tribute artist! We were the youngest ones at the show, but my mother-in-law loved every second and actually said that this was probably one of the best " "impersonators" she had ever seen- and that is quite a compliment coming from her because she has seen many over the course of her life. Please keep in mind that this experience is truly what you make of it and if you go with a positive attitude and with a true Elvis fan, you will walk out with a smile on your face! This is not an experience to be compared with the Dollywood stampede or any other major entertainment venue, but still worth the patronage.

Parents, actors and patrons of the arts need to check out the new space for ENCORE Theatrical…read moreCompany! Whether you want to come see a show, work on set or brave the stage ENCORE will prove to be a resource for you and your family. This company produces shows for children and adults alike. I've seen the first two productions of their current season. Speaking of season, as it starts to warm up couples around the Morristown area will be looking for something new to do and an outing to the theater makes a great date night. SEASON TICKETS are a great gift idea! Recently I helped backstage with the production for End of the Rainbow, a musical by Peter Quilter, which tells the humorous, touching story of the fabulous Judy Garland. While unveiling incite to the elusive abuse endured by this iconic legend of the silver screen and her unfortunate passing, this show will make you laugh and give you pause. The set was great. Lighting was spot on and under the direction of Interim Executive Director Dr. Dennis Elks, the cast of local actors kept our eyes glued to the stage. Tennessee is the Volunteer State and over this past month it has been an honor to volunteer for Encore Theatrical. It feels good to work alongside other creative, passionate individuals all focused on helping not only our youth but new and seasoned artists alike have a space in which to grow. People can offer their help to assist with costumes, set construction, painting, organization, marketing, community outreach and so much more (all while exercising an old skill set or developing a new one)! Theatre will always have a place in the world as its roots are grounded in storytelling and empathy which connects all types of characters across all walks of life and sometimes you see a performance worthy of an ENCORE.

When I arrived yesterday, the White Horse announced that it was now a membership based non-profit business that will allow it to continue on indefinitely in service to performers and the community. One doesn't have to be a member but membership bring additional benefits depending on the level of participation. The performance was well attended, the music and acoustics outstanding, and the bar service appreciated. Just visit their website for info on upcoming shows and a breakdown of the new membership levels. This venue is definitely appreciated and supported by the community. It is worth a visit, contribution, and/or membership.
