What a fun show! Having lived near New York for years I regularly went into the city for Broadway shows, especially the Christmas Spectacular with the Rockettes at Radio City Music Hall. Is this place the same? No, not at all, and that is the charm. Are these Broadway performers? No, but they're talented enough to be. Is it canned music and lip synced stage performance? No. The music is extremely varied and definitely live. The singing is epic level. Especially the singer who belts out A Baby Changes Everything (this woman's voice could rock the Metropolitan Opera House in NYC, yet here she is in Myrtle Beach...Take advantage of that!!). And pretty much everything that Moses sings is liquid gold. But they're all very talented. The dancers are in constant motion, and very fun to watch...oh look, they sing too?!? What do these people not do? The musicians are amazing playing everything from the steel guitar to the acoustic bass to the hammered dulcimer. Just go. Enjoy it. Even the Grinch would enjoy the show. You can ask him, he was in it.

We have come to Christmas show for the last two years and it's been a great Family Tradition for the holidays! The kids love it! Us adults love it! The show is always good. The food is good and the staff is always amazing!! And it doesn't change outside of the Holiday season. My family has never had a bad experience here! We love it and hope everyone else loves it as much as we do!

Calvin Gilmore – pioneer of Myrtle Beach Entertainment

The impressive variety of live music shows in Myrtle Beach can be traced back to one man, Calvin Gilmore, and his singular vision that first-rate entertainment could thrive along the Grand Strand. The Carolina Opry Theater was the first live theater to open in Myrtle Beach and the only one in the area for 7 years. Several years and many successes later, a number of corporations have followed Gilmore’s model and opened theaters of their own. Now in its 38th season, the critically acclaimed theater boasts over 10,000 performances. Gilmore’s exceptionally high standards for talent and production quality have been recognized by the industry and the public; his shows are the only shows to be designated “Most Outstanding Attraction” by the state of South Carolina, to be called “Top Myrtle Beach Attraction” by CNBC and to be voted #1 every single year! If you are looking for top quality Myrtle Beach Shows, look no further than The Carolina Opry Theater.
