PIGEON FORGE, Tenn. (September 2015) – Following demand, the Smoky Mountain Opry Theater in Pigeon Forge, Tenn., will add Sunday shows to its schedule beginning Oct. 4 that will continue through the rest of the year.
“Shows will now run every day of the week for ‘America’s Ultimate Variety Show,’” said David Fee, president and chief executive officer of the Fee/Hedrick Family Entertainment Group. “Call and reserve your tickets early so you can get a good seat. The show this year is awesome! We have a lot of new high-energy numbers, and we have brought back our most requested audience favorite numbers as well. The show is packed with all sorts of different styles of music and special effects. It is a powerful show the whole family will love. We have a stunning variety show with country, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, Motown, rock ‘n roll, big band, top hits, gospel, movie greats, Broadway and patriotic numbers. This season has something for everyone.
“We are absolutely delighted that we have had such demand for the show that we have added Sundays,” said Fee. “Our new show has gotten rave reviews by our guests. We have the largest and most attended variety show in the Smokies, with lavish costumes, vibrant sets and majestic animals!
