Dazzling performance!
Nov 2022 • Couples
The performance was very energetic with good music, and excellent dancing. The costumes we're beautiful, and the vocalists delivered solid renditions of favorite songs. Since this was their Christmas show, I was concerned that it might be 2 solid hours of Christmas tunes, but it wasn't. The first half of the show consisted of a variety of country music, and the second half was focused on Christmas. The humor provided by brief appearances of Bubba, Memaw, and Papaw was priceless. The theater is comfortable, and there is a display of costumes that have been worn by previous country legends. The concession stand is very reasonably priced, so popcorn and drinks are affordable. There are also hot dogs, pretzels, and candy which are also reasonably priced. Enjoy the show!

Amazing Talent from Cast!
Faith Family and Freedom!
May 2022 • Couples
I have been coming to the show since December of 2021, so at this point it has been a total of 10 times! But the show never ceases to amaze me, the cast is very talented, the added a new segment this year where a few of the dancers are actually singing one of the Featured Dancers Tasha Lynn is so extremely talented!

All the singers...Tryphena,Lori, John and their new host Hugh..all have amazing talent that is beyond amazing!

So if you are looking for a show that you can watch with your family that recogonizes Faith,Family and Freedom I highly recommend this show!

(They also honor our veterans!)

ALWAYS EXCELLENT!
Nov 2020
We've been to this show a couple of times over the years and the talent is always there. The costuming is stunning; the child performers most impressive. What stuck us the most this time, however, was the enthusiasm they put into their performance. I don't know how many people their auditorium holds, but FAR more than were in attendance the night we were there (maybe 125-150 people, barely any when we considered how many seats were empty), yet they sang their hearts out...just for us. They truly seemed to enjoy what they were doing (not just going through the motions). We both highly recommend this show, even if you're not fans of country music (we're not, but great performance is still great performance).

Poor
Dec 2022
We took our grandchildren as part of a mini-vacation during their Christmas break. None of us enjoyed the show and we ended up leaving during intermission before the start of the 2nd half of the show. The sound system was horrible, the singers was not any good and some appeared to be lip singing. Dancers were like ballot dancers not country. The only good part of the show was the few jokes told by mee-maw and the tribute to the USA. Not sure how they have been in business for 25 years.

dissapointing
Jun 2022
The volume of the music was too loud. We attended on a week night and the theater was only about half filled. After intermission about twenty or thirty percent of the crowd moved back to be able to stand the loud volume of the show. most of the songs were shortened to a verse and a chours. the only thing that kept it from getting a terrible rating was the gospel music potion of the music. Save your money. Don't go to this show.

"would rather visit an art museum"
Nov 2022
was disappointed, didn't know songs they was singing, i guess it's the "new country"! had a little boy, guess family member, trying to sing. the dancers behind the singers was like ballet, not clogging or square dancing, which is not country. the patriotic song was bad! should had video of Lee Greenwood "proud to be an American" song. the last hour was for Christmas...not! This was one of our stops on bus trip, would not recommend. would rather visit an art museum.

Great Country show
Apr 2022
This show was well worth the money. The singers and dancers were very professional and provided a good 2 hours of entertainment. The spread of country music was over 75 years. They also added some contemporary christian and gospel music to the show. And of course a salute to veterans the the USA.

Great performers and show, but the facility and audio mix need some freshening up.
Dec 2021
We attended the Christmas show with two kids aged 6 and 7. They loved the show and our oldest left saying he felt "inspired." That's enough for me! I also enjoyed it and I felt like they did a great job changing costumes and adding comedy to keep you engaged.

But, you do need to keep some things in mind. Country music is an incredibly wide genre of music. They try to touch on most every decade in the past 40 years, and that's a pretty difficult thing to do. If you LOVE one decade and hate all the others, then you'll be disappointed.

The performers are excellent, but they're not auto-tuned to perfection like your favorite songs on the radio. I'm a musician and a sound engineer, so I'm very picky. I was very impressed with the talent of most of the performers. I was not impressed with the audio mix. It lacked clarity and presence and some elements were out of balance (drum toms were louder than the singers at some points), but they thought enough to keep the audio level at a good level. It was loud enough to enjoy, but not so loud that your ears were worn out by the end of the show.

Overall, it's worth a visit especially if you have kids (ours attended free!) and you have an open mind in terms of country music style. You should also be ok with a facility that has a bit of wear and needs updating.

The Worst Show!! Don’t waste your $$!!
Sep 2022 • Couples
The Worst Show!! Don’t waste your $$!! It’s by far the worst show we’ve ever seen, and we’ve been to a lot of shows! The singers were just mediocre and the guy who sang Johnny Cash was just plain Horrible!! Out of all the talent in the world, this is all they could come up with?? The sound system was not quite working properly & had glitches. I will say that the lighting was on point though. Kudos to the two kids who got on stage, but just because your dad works there doesn’t mean you belong there too. The little guy was brave but definitely not ready nor good enough for the stage. I would definitely not recommend this show or ever return.

Great music, beautiful costumes-SEE THIS SHOW!!
Nov 2022 • Couples
The most amazingly beautiful costume changes I have ever seen!!! Patriotic as well as a family friendly show. The songs were just flawless and the dancers were mesmerizing to watch. This is a definite must see and see again!
The Christmas portion was so colorful and energetic….festive, joyful and ending beautifully by turning our focus to the TRUE reason for the season.
