GOSPEL NIGHT

We have the top names in gospel music. such as Gold City , Jeff and Sheri Easter, The Dove Brothers, The Freemans, The McKamey's, and The Booth Brothers. Check schedule for show dates through out the year.

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.

Stars of Tomorrow Show


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 8 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 Jackson or Faith Hill!

Every Friday Night in June, July & August, except first friday of each month. ( which is Bluegrass night)
