"VACATION FUN IN MYRTLE BEACH, SOUTH CAROLINA"



Which Myrtle Beach show is the must-see
"The Carolina Opry" vs Alabama  Theatre's "ONE"
 
Readers often ask us, “If there is one show I should see when I come to Myrtle Beach, which would it be? Calvin Gilmore’s “Carolina Opry”, or the other popular show, “ONE”, at the Alabama Theatre?
Let me tell you
what we think . . .

We have had the good fortune to attend both shows and can say with absolute honesty, that there is truly something for everyone in the family with these stunning, World-class shows..

To answer the original question of which show you should see? I would really have to recommend that you see both, and then make up your own mind, then let us know what you think.

"The Carolina Opry"

If you like quality Country, you are gonna love this show! This is the essence of the Grand Old Opry, brought to the Grand Strand, just without the star names. Don’t misunderstand me, these are star performers in every sense of the word except you haven’t heard most of them on your local Country radio station. They should be! Calvin Gilmore has recruited a most talented group of performers for a show that will have you either clapping or tapping your toes from beginning to end.

“All That”, the four young gentlemen from the TV talent show, “America’s Got Talent", will absolutely astound you with their precision footwork throughout the show. You also haven’t heard Elvis until you have heard his greatest songs done Bluegrass style! You have Calvin Gilmore himself, most nights, as part of the show. With his voice, and honest, down-home delivery, it makes you wonder why he isn’t more of a household name in Country music as he should be! All powerful performances, the dancers, the singers, and the band, each a virtuoso in their own right. If you like NASCAR head for Daytona, then if you like Country, be sure The Carolina Opry is near the top of your own “bucket list”!
Alabama Theatre's "ONE"
Right from the opening moments of the multimedia tour de force you realize you are in for an evening of special entertainment. The giant screens and special computer effects blend perfectly with the performances on the stage.

This show has all of the elements that will please everyone in the crowd by offering everything from Disney on Broadway to a look back at TV’s American Bandstand. Do you like Gospel? It’s in there! Do you like Country? It’s in there! Comedy? Outstanding musicians? Patriotism? You’ll find it all in the show “ONE”! I would make special mention of the emcee, Greg Rowles, the comedic presence of Grant Turner (not just your average stagehand), and the many talented dancers, that make the entire 2 hour (plus) production flow so seemingly effortlessly and so entertainingly.

 Will you like this show, I’ll put it this way, we followed smiling senior citizens, out of the theatre, talking about memories the retro skits brought to mind, as well as a couple with a young daughter, aged 5 or 6, that was trying her best to mimic some of the dancers she had just watched and enjoyed.
