Carolina Opry

Missouri-born musician Calvin Gilmore is credited with starting the entertainment explosion in Myrtle Beach. He launched The Carolina Opry in 1986 which has been entertaining guests to the Grand Strand for more than 21 years.

In 1992 the original Carolina Opry moved into a new, 2,200 seat facility. This structure boasts a beautiful two story marble lobby, and its own recording studio.

The show itself is a perfect blend of music, comedy and dance offering a variety of genres including Broadway, classic pop, rock, gospel, bluegrass, big band and of course country. After all this is South Carolina. The dance teams that perform during The Carolina Opry are breathtaking and unforgettable. Performer Eric Gun is getting great reviews as a world-class entertainer with his ability to keep the audience rolling with laughter between sets. The show is a masterpiece from stage design to costumes and the performances are an experience that the whole family can enjoy.
