I have been to see the Pirate's Voyage, Dolly Parton Stampede, and now this. Dolly never seems to disappoint! All of these shows are well worth the money. I always thought they were too much money so I never went to any of them, but they're so great. My favorite part is the ending when they sing gospel music and salute our troops and law enforcement. Everyone is fantastic. Kendall blew me away with how much she sounded like Dolly AND Tammy Wynette. The entire show is so entertaining. I'd have to say Danny (Dan?) is my favorite. He like Jim Carrey on steroids. I think my 6 year old could take his job one day LOL he acts exactly like him on a daily basis. Not saying he acts like a 6 year old, but his energy and presentation is so entertaining. It's clean family fun. My little boy laughed the whole time. I love the improv for audience participation as well. Even more so, I got a large popcorn and 2 large drinks. It was $14 which is cheaper than what it costs to get the same size stuff at my local theater back home in Johnson City. The gift shop was reasonable as well. I picked up a shirt and it said $11.99. I audibly said "$12 bucks? THAT'S IT?" and the guy next to me said, "I know! that's what I'm saying!" Everything in Pigeon Forge is so expensive, it was nice to go and be able to afford a souvenir. I'll be back for a hoodie and another show. Also, I didn't know it at the time, but Charlie King, a band member, served me popcorn before the show. May be a staff shortage, which I'm sure it is, but for them to be playing the star of the show and working the concession stand was nice to see. Everybody works together. Anywho, you get the picture. Go see the show. :) Awesome job...
Read moreGo, you must go!! It's the best show in town! Our group ranged in ages from 4 to 70's and everyone was laughing. I was in tears at times, doubled over laughing! I loved it so much and can't wait to go back next year, hopefully. It was all clean comedy too. They make it their goal to have clean comedy. It's such a family friendly event for all ages!
The show was from 7 -9:30 with a 20 min intermission around 8:15. The second half had most of the audience participation parts which were also funny and I'm sure make each and every show a bit different from the last show. Our nine year old was chosen for a short audience participation part. He had such a great time helping and it was the highlight of his night!
There are a lot of snacks, food and drinks available for purchase. Everything can be eaten in the theatre. They have pizza, nachos, soft pretzels with cheese, donut sundaes, hard dipped ice cream, popcorn, candy, cotton candy, soda, lemonade, and more. I thought the food prices were very reasonable for a theatre.
They sell their Comedy Barn t-shirts for $15 each. They will replace any T-shirt for any reason (outgrow it, get a stain on it, etc) - just bring it back and get a new one for free.
All of the singers, dancers and comedians are available in the lobby for photos, autographs and questions at the end of the show. Everyone in the show comes across so personable and meeting all of their guests at the end of the show is like the icing on the cake!
I can't recommend this show enough and we will definitely...
Read moreWhile the show was funny, especially for our children, the sales pitch is constant with them trying to get you to buy everything. That in itself is not fun but isn't unexpected in a tourist location. However, being LIED to was unexpected and absolutely unacceptable! My children wanted the concessions slushie drinks which were $12 each. They advertised on big signs and in person they are free refills for life whenever they are open. I asked when we could get the refills and the man checking us out at concessions (who was also the main host/guitar player of the show) told me anytime they are open. I asked when they opened each day and he told me 9am. He said we could stop in anytime from 9am until the show ended each night to get free refills. This was so exciting for my children so we bought 3 $12 cups. We stopped by about 2pm a couple of days later to get our refills on our last day of our vacation and a lady at the ticket desk wouldn't let us go get refills (even though the machines were on and full and two workers were back in the concessions area) she was quite grouchy and did not even care when I told her that we were told that we could get refills all day long. I'm very disappointed in this. Will NOT be going back! Being LIED to is a whole other level of horrible customer service! Definitely not something I expected from any kind of company associated with Dolly Parton. Dishonesty is NOT okay! And my kids left our last day of vacation very...
