Frommer's Review
This fun show came to town in June of 2003, bringing with it the rivalry of the North and the South. The audience, split into the North and the South, participates in (or roots for competitors in) different competitions held throughout the show to determine a final winner. Elaborately costumed cowboys, settlers, Native Americans, and southern belles sing and dance; and you also get stampeding horses and buffalo, and ostrich racing. The stunt riders are duly amazing, and selected members of the audience will have you in stitches during audience-participation moments. The evening is capped off with a patriotic song from Dolly herself (on video, of course). While you watch the show, you'll chow down on a four-course dinner that includes rotisserie chicken, barbecue pork, vegetable soup, corn on the cob, a biscuit, an herb-basted potato, and an apple turnover for dessert (lasagna and fruit are available for vegetarians). Note: Alcoholic beverages are now available -- utensils, however, are not, so if you aren't into messy eating, bring plastic utensils with you. Kids younger than 4 eat free, if they sit on a parent's lap and eat off their plate; otherwise, a seat and a meal require a ticket. It is an entertaining evening, though if there's a knock against it, it's that it's really a bunch of jumbled individual performances rather than a continuous show that carries through a single theme. Show times vary, but there's usually at least one show nightly.
