It’s the most wonderful time of the year (well, it’s getting closer to that time of year, anyway) and you need to be here! We have a host of holiday shows in the Myrtle Beach resorts and condos area that will get you in the Christmas spirit – without the icy chill and snow of the north, but with all of the glitz and glam, song and talent, of Broadway. Here are a handful of the best Myrtle Beach Christmas shows we recommend you reserve a seat for while you’re in town, as well as two resorts you may want to check into for a long winter’s nap.
Alabama Theatre
All throughout November and December Alabama Theatre in North Myrtle Beach will be decking the halls (and stage) with the award-winning production of “The South’s Grandest Christmas Show.” A combination of vocals, dance, scenery and special effects, this grand musical features both traditional Christmas classics and contemporary holiday favorites. A new comedic juggler Slim Chance will also make an appearance, with his take on the Christmas season, for added laughs!
Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show
The swashbuckling crew of Pirates Voyage will put their seafaring spin on the Charles Dickens classic, “A Christmas Carol,” starting in November in their state-of-the-art theatre in Myrtle Beach.
The Mystical Christmas Spirit takes Captain Scrooge on a journey through time and space to find the meaning of Christmas. Along the way, giant Christmas toys come to life and perform acrobatics high above the lagoon, a live Nativity appears, and an epic battle ensues between the Crimson and Emerald pirates as they compete for a Christmas treasure. As the action plays out, you’ll sit back and enjoy a delicious four-course holiday feast.
The Carolina Opry
Next door to Pirates Voyage, your special seat awaits at the Carolina Opry’s “Christmas Special, presented by theatre owner Calvin Gilmore and his star-studded cast. The Christmas Show of the South begins in November and runs through January 1, 2023. Audiences will witness on-stage a blend of new talent with long-standing Opry favorites, the famed clogging group All That!, more than 35 of the area’s best musicians, vocalists and dancers, and a real horse-drawn sleigh under snowfall.
Legends in Concert
Do you hear what I hear? It’s the soothing, seasonal sounds of the tribute artist cast of Legends in their legendary “Ultimate Christmas Spectacular” in Myrtle Beach. Hear Christmas classics from top tribute artists like Elvis, The Blues Brothers, George Strait and Whitney Houston now through December 31, 2022.
Dickens Christmas Show
Although this isn’t a traditional show performed on-stage, this national award-winning festival is a popular holiday tradition in Myrtle Beach. Held at the Convention Center November 10-13, the “Dickens Christmas Show” is a charming replica of a Dickens Victorian village, complete with period-costumed vendors selling jewelry, gifts, toys, arts and crafts, holiday décor and more.
Myrtle Beach is always buzzing with holiday cheer throughout the season. Find even more Christmas-themed events going on throughout November and December right here!
