BEST shows of Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg!

The Hatfield & McCoy Dinner Show:



This was our FIRST dinner show.. ever. The building looks like a real-life cartoon and this place didn't fall short on any decorations or props to get you feeling like you are part of the show even before you enter.
We arrived right on time to be seated. If you are going around a holiday be prepared for the line and to take a picture with one of the many wacky hillbilly characters before entering the theater.


 
 Upon entering, You are in awe of how upscale everything looks and the lovely arrangement of the theater and guarantees every seat is the BEST seat. The waitstaff was very friendly, quick and kind. We were taken back by the large portions and the quality of the food... it was DELICIOUS! I am getting hungry thinking about the mashed potatoes now.. Also don't forget about dessert a yummy chocolate sundae! 
When the show started you were briefed on how each show is shot individually each night and how the audience is incorporated into the performances. They took many audience members on stage including kids and went around the room with the camera making each person feel like they are part of the show. 
The show is best described in just a few words.. HOOTIN' HOLLERIN' FUN HILLYBILLY TIME! You will be laughing the whole time! This isn't anything like you would expect from just any dinner show this has excellent singing, dancing and acting! These characters are the whole package and appeal to the whole family! This is something we look forward to attending again for many years to come!







The Country Jamboree Breakfast Show:


Yes, the rumors are true! You are able to enjoy a delicious country breakfast while enjoying chart topping traditional Country and Gospel hits by the one and only Blackwoods! 
This was our sons favorite show as he enjoyed dancing to the inspirational music and it was a fun and fantastic way to start off your day! The food was plentiful and delicious while the waitstaff was very attentive.
With the beautiful voices and a silly tribute to the King of Rock this is one I do suggest EVERYONE attend! 
They even had a very famous side act come up and do a "ventriliquist" show that hilarious and had the whole audience roaring with laughter. 
We left here feeling good and ready to start our day and wanted to go back the next morning, but can you blame us? We WILL be back here again each time we visit Pigeon Forge!




Christmas at the Smoky Mountain Opry




This multi-million dollar Christmas production is one of the most amazing shows I have seen and even when you first enter Santa sits upon his chair greeting you and you are taken back by all the bright colors and beauty of the inside.. its like screaming Christmas Joy!

The show features Santa Claus, a mischievous elf, talented actors, singers, dancers and ice skaters. With its breathtaking decorations and the areas largest living nativity this is a one of a kind show that is too good to be true.


My favorite part of this venue was the "Childrens Skybox" which allowed a great view of the stage with comfortable seating and toys to accommodate the "noisy" tots.. like our son. We were able to enjoy the show while he was able to play.
This is not a dinner show but does have a snack bar where we purchased the most delicious peanut butter cookie I have eaten (warning REAL peanuts in cookie). This show also has an intermission which allows you to take a break and purchase snacks mid-show so don't worry about missing anything. I don't want to give too much away but be prepared to get your moneys worth plus more! Be expected to laugh your butt off at Slim Chance.. in my opinion his silly antics made the show! Also enjoy the "snow".
