Seniors Show
They come in vans, buses, trucks, cars, walkers &
wheel chairs from all over Central and Southern Il- Union City Tn- Hopkinsville, KY- and Cape Girardeau MO.
They come to see the Kentucky
Opry all star cast and some of the cast from the "Stars
of Tomorrow" show for a special senior citizen matinee
show. This show became popular for our "seasoned citizens" because so many either can't drive or don't want to drive at
night, so since our show is over by about 4:30 they have
plenty of time to get home before dark.
On these Matinee shows The Opry allows all seniors groups to attend together for the half-price admission of only $7. Check our schedule for the next one scheduled.
The Opry will have several Senior matinee shows each year one in the spring,
summer and one in December for the Christmas Show
If you have plans to attend any of these shows
please make reservations well in advance as we always sell out.
Have you ever wondered where country
music artists get their start? Most of them worked very hard
to break into the business. The Kentucky Opry Stars of Tomorrow
are just such a group of hard-working young professional entertainers.
While some kids excel at sports or academics, these young people
excel at entertaining you (while also excelling in other fields
too). The Stars of Tomorrow entertainers represent the best
of the best from the Beginner and Junior divisions of the annual
Kentucky Opry Talent Search. Many of them have performed professionally
in several venues as well as competing and winning in national
talent competitions. They have developed their own style of
entertainment right here at the Kentucky Opry by performing
with Clay Campbell and his house band.
You won't want to
miss the Kentucky Opry Stars of Tomorrow show! It's a Branson-style
show in the heart of western Kentucky featuring the best young
performers from several surrounding states. The show features
the country hits of yesterday and today, good ole-fashioned
comedy, rock-n'-roll hits of the 50s and 60s, as well as some
of the best young musicians around. When the show is over, you
may be thinking the show should be renamed the Stars of Today.
You can catch the Stars of Tomorrow performing
every Friday night at 7:30 p.m except the first Friday of each
month, during the months of June, July, and August. Don't miss
this opportunity to see a performer who may be the next Alan
