We went the other night to the Opry. The show wasn't that great, the theater wasn't full and kind of disappointing for the cost of the tickets. For a family of four this is a pricey night out.

We saw the Good Vibrations show and it featured music from the 60's, 70's, and 80's. The music was fabulous and upbeat. Colorful costumes, great dancing, and lasers/special effects were excellent. I would recommend this show to anyone!

I have to say I thought this was going to be really cheesey - but was pleasantly surprised. My wife and I had a great time. The acts were fun and performers really got into their acts. It was not terribly expense and I would go back.

We visit the Opry quite often. The shows are very enjoyable. We have taken our company to some of the shows. One of the last we saw was the Christmas Show. Just a joyful place to visit. Gorgeous and full of song and spirit.

It was very enjoyable...not my first time there either for Christmas or one of their other musical events. They always give a good time and have some excellent singers and dancers.

When purchasing tickets for the Carolina Opry it is important to note that they do different shows depending on the night. The 'Classic' show, as I call it, is a nice mix of country and other popular songs and the 'Good Vibrations' show is songs from the 60's, 70's, and 80's. I have seen both shows and found them each...

The first act of the show was very good with a slew of singers, dancers, and comedians. One of the lead woman soloists who did a Cindi Lauper impression was fantastic; the other sang a Tina Turner song that was almost unrecognizable because of the woman's phrasing and inability to carry the tune. The male vocalists were generally good to... More
