We didn't really want to see a show this trip but some friends of our who recently moved here really wanted us to go with them (and they bought us tickets) so we went. It had been a little over a year since I had been to either of the shows at this theater and I was pleasantly surprised by the changes - everything was totally different and I loved every minute of it! Good Vibrations was a lot of fun. I actually loved the old commercials and video clips they play before the show - my husband and I were quizzing each other. I knew and loved most of the songs (the 80s weren't really my time period but I knew some of those songs b/c of my kids). The show didn't seem long at all so maybe that is one of the changes they made since last year? It seemed like it was over in no time. We had so much fun that we are going back this fall and this time WE are buying the tickets and treating my friends! We also got a deal on tickets to The Carolina Opry since we had bought tickets for the other show and it was every bit as good. I had no idea how much fun that was - it was just so exciting with all of the music and lights and dancing. Really a quality show. We also went to the "one" show because my friends got some free tickets and we were a little disappointed by that one. It is the same style as The Carolina Opry show but just not as good and way too long and a little boring. The comedian was really funny but if my friends hadn't given me the tickets I would have left at intermission. It was pretty good for free tickets but I don't think i will be buying any in the fall! I recommend Calvin Gilmore's stuff!

When we got into town we signed up for two shows at the Opry. We had been to the Dixie Stampede and the Alabama One show in years past and wanted something different. My husband is not a big country fan and so we opted for their new show called Good Vibrations. As we are Boomers we thought this medley of music and antics from '60s, '70s, and '80s would be more to our liking. Well, I am sorry to say we were disappointed. When you buy your tickets the seller informs you that you should arrive at least a half hour early. There is a pre-show they say. Well the pre-show turned out to be TV clips from Laughin, Saturday Night Live and some other period shows. The best part of the show as a Cheech and Chong skit and the talented group called All That who made a name for themselves as part of the new show Americas Got Talent.

The seats were not that comfortable and the show was very long and with it extended by a half hour full of TV clips it was too much. When we bought the tickets though, we had an option of buying tickets to another of the shows in this theater for $10 a piece. We did purchase two tickets to the Carolina Opry Show but after our disappointing experience we gave them to our neighbors at the cottages for free. They used them and said they had a wonderful time. So who knows it may have been the choice we made in shows.

The Sheraton invited us to their preview center. No sales pressure at all. Anyway they gave us 2 tickets for $20. This show is so good, even if you don't want to go to the preview, it would be worth paying full price. The dancing, singing, and overall performance was excellent. Everyone that performs has been there for 20 years. Good family show with comedians, gospel singing, American tribute. Can't wait to go back. They change the show often.

Alabama Theatre and Carolina Opry Shows are very similar. I liked Alabama better myself, but they are both very good and worth seeing. They both mix live music with comedy and are a good family activity.

This is located in the area north of Broadway at the Beach. I saw the show named "One". I was given a free ticket for this show from a timeshare presenter.

This was fantastic.

I will try to attend new shows at this venue in the future.
