MUST SEE TIME WAR IF YOU HAVE NOT.We have been to see Time Warp three times. I really will go back to see them over and over. We bring friends there after the first time seeing this show.They are so so talented and are amazing. The voices on all of them give me chills they are that good. We love watching them all but I have to say the cloggers, my favorite. WOW not only are they great, they are so funny.Looking forward to seeing it again

My husband and I have seen many shows at the Opry. The staff are very friendly and helpful! The seats are very comfortable. No matter where you sit you can still have a perfect seat to see the show. We would highly recommend going to see a show at the Carolina Opry!!!

A fun show, and I'm not even a big country music fan. The comedy bits were really funny, and despite the deep-South location, the inevitable political jabs were even-handed. The cloggers were fantastic, as were all the dancers. The musicians did a fine job, rotating through banjo, mandolin, pedal steel, Dobro, fiddle and guitars. Vocals were great as was the choreography. No real food available on site.

One of the best places in the area to see a concert. The Grassroots were amazingly good, better than the star performers The Lovin Spoonful who were no more than a tribute band

I want to Thank Carolina Opry, You have redeemed what the BEST In quality entertainment in Myrtle Beach Means to us Pennsylvanians, I’m so glad we suffered a show at The other Theatre that begins with an “A” first, Because I can tell everyone reading this post trying to compare and decide between the two that there is no comparison, choose Here every single time, Half of the show at The other place I thought they were joking, they came out in oversized Disney costumes and It was one sad circus, complete with a Christmas sleigh half tucked away over the stage that I was really afraid might fall on the performers, Although I hate to say it, it might’ve put the whole thing out of its misery, so much so that I didn’t want to go to the Opry fearing it would be more of the same but we booked it anyway hoping it would be different, from the first Guitar chord plucked by their awesome Gold Guitar Wearing Gary, who looked like a young Johnny Carson (I couldn’t stop thinking that the entire show, If you ever saw the Jack Benny Show/Ball and Jack Performance you’d know What I Mean) I thought “Buckle Up, This is Entertainment” and from that moment on, I was right, The Fabulous Lady who sang Defying Gravity will blow your hair back, Her talent is really second to none, she could carry Her own show, She was Truly the best, The young lady who sang “something in Red” watch Her meteoric talent soar, you will never believe she’s something like 18 years old, She has an Insanely bright future before Her, the short, muscular lady who sang wild horses and wild flowers, as well as Somewhere over the rainbow, I saw people Looking at their arms for Chills&Wiping Tears, Wow, Another knockout entertainer, The gentleman singing the main Male vocals, Older Gentleman singer on the lap steel & their fiddler were 5 stars all the way,Stephen&the cloggers, wow!!!! He / They were Absolutely positively incredible, Give them all some Very High Praise, along with everyone I just mentioned and like 5 more parts, they’re unbelievable and had the audience cheering for more, I really can’t even begin to tell you how this talent is second to none, As an award winning chef, I’ve had the great honor of cooking for Celebrities, my work has been served all across the world even at the top of the world I’ll just say, and I can tell You the people I saw last night, were truly some of the best I’ve ever seen, This Was Unbelievable, This theatre, for these performers, If I were the owners, or management, I would give them all a round of applause, And let them know how valued they are, how appreciated their hard work is, how Proud of themselves they should all be, and Thank Them from two Pennsylvanians For All the Good memories That we’ve left the beach with because of their dedication to their performances and craft, they were unbelievable, one more set of honorable mentions, Karen, The Usher was fabulous and so much fun, She has a Heart of Gold and Made our evening extra special, The service staff at the concessions stand were also so much fun, We closed the house down and Were probably the last people out the door we had so much fun stopping to talk with all of them on the way out, they really punctuate the experience and made a lasting memory complete Before, during, and after the show, I cannot begin to Thank the Carolina Opry enough!!!!-Chef DanielLancaster PennsylvaniaP.S. I would love to see you do all you can to keep everyone Mentioned and Even those that were too many names But Equally Talented performers but know sometimes Artists Travel, or even venues want a change, If You want to know My All time Favorite Top-top tier people who I think you should look into to pursue giving a chance or a show to It would be Cheyenne Grace (She had last year’s No.#1 Christmas Album out of all Billboard, Apple, and ITunes Downloads,She’s Superb and performed at the Grand Ol’ Opry! Company Townes who ROCKS!!!! They opened for Marty Stuart and Dwight Yokam, They’re people with a Heart of Gold!!!!, each of the Groups Members are Truly Incredible and very deserving people)
