The Alabama Theatre in Myrtle Beach isn’t named with the state
of Alabama in mind, but rather with country group legends
Alabama who started their career in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
When they’d had enough of the nomadic life, and wanted to set
down more fixed roots, it was back to Myrtle Beach they returned
and the Alabama Theatre Myrtle Beach was created.
Built in 1991 on the Barefoot Landing complex, the Alabama
Theatre in Myrtle Beach offers a great place for an evening’s
entertainment. Throughout the year top country stars and other
performers take to the Alabama’s stage, but they have two main
shows which make up the bulk of the ticket sales for the theatre.
Firstly there’s the “One” show. This show is one for anyone who
loves music! Showcasing songs across the entire spectrum of
music, from bluegrass to Broadway hits and almost every genre in
between, the show plays weeknights and Saturday nights
throughout a major portion of the year and would be a great show
to take the whole family to see!
November brings a change of main show when the “One” show takes
a break and the “One for the Holidays” takes over for a two
month run. Billed as “The South’s Grandest Holiday Show” this
show hosts an array of special effects, talented performers,
skilled backstage people who’ve all come together to produce a
magical show which showcases the Holiday music people love in a
new package that will entertain and enchant.
Sprinkled throughout the year are special performances by some
of the most famous names in country music! During 2005 Kenny
Rogers will take to the stage at the Alabama Theatre, as will
one of the first ladies of country music Loretta Lynn.
Other performers will include Billy Rae Cyrus, The Drifters and
The Temptations. Check out the http://www.alabama-theatre.com or
ring their booking office for more information. And don't forget
to visit http://www.myrtle-beach-guide.com for all the
information you'll need for a great Myrtle Beach vacation.
If you are fan of any of these great performers, or your partner
is, a mini vacation in Myrtle Beach would be a perfect gift!
Spend the day relaxing the sun, or playing a round or two of
golf, enjoy a leisurely meal at the Barefoot Landing complex,
and then wander across to the nearby Alabama Theatre in Myrtle
Beach to be entertained by your favorite singers, or to watch a
great show. What a perfect way to celebrate a special occasion!
