This is a lovely theatre and the Carolina Opry is a wonderful venue to experience Southern Country entertainment. There was comedy, great music, and clogging performances. We had a great time.

Good show, moves quickly. Beautiful women dancers and singers and I particularly liked the Country and Western music. My one surprise was that there were no African-Americans as performers.

This is my fifth time seeing The Carolina Opry & I always find it to be very entertaining. I like the comedy in with the singing & dancing. I admire the fact that they honor our vets as I am a sister of four World War II vets & mother-in-law of a Desert Storm Vet. Their Christmas shows are fabulous & I plan to see it when I return in November.

I had with me my 2 grandsons, ages 20 and 16, and they both were hesitant about going. Both ended up laughing and having a good time. They liked it! That says volumes.
