Carolina Opry
$45-$55/person
Book direct via the vendor website
The Carolina Opry was the first live-entertainment theater in Myrtle Beach and has run continuously for more than 30 years from 8901-A Business 17.
The format is a variety show that moves between country, pop, Broadway standards, and comedy, performed by a resident cast and rotating guest artists. Production values are higher than the genre's reputation would suggest; the lighting, sound, and choreography reflect three decades of refinement. The show runs about two hours in a 2,200-seat theater, and the 3,000-plus TripAdvisor reviews and Travelers' Choice designation tell you the audience satisfaction holds across demographics. For a foursome that has spent five hours on a course and two at dinner, this is a no-effort, no-prep, group-friendly evening that fills the rest of the night.
Tickets $45 to $55 depending on seat and season. Book ahead for holiday weeks and Saturday performances. The theater is on the Business 17 corridor, roughly 10 minutes from most central Myrtle Beach accommodations. Seasonal Christmas and summer shows replace the standard format during their respective runs.
