The Carolina Opry

Frommer's Review

Missouri-born musician/entrepreneur Calvin Gilmore has been called a better businessman than a guitarist. He's credited with starting the incredible entertainment explosion in Myrtle Beach by launching this theater back in 1986 and attracting a host of imitators. In 1992, the original Carolina Opry moved into this new 2,200-seat facility, complete with its own recording studio. Shows offer a variety of music, including country, bluegrass, western swing, big band, patriotic, and show tunes, as well as comedy. The Christmas show is so popular that it's often sold out by June. Performances are daily at 8pm.
