The Myrtle Beach area has so many kinds of live entertainment it’s like Broadway with 60 miles of sandy beach! (We even have an area, over 350 acres of shopping, dining, and entertainment we call Broadway.) It all started in 1986, when Calvin Gilmore and the Carolina Opry pioneered theater in Myrtle Beach, starting our community on its way to being a hotspot for live family entertainment. Now our live shows include music — including celebrity concerts and great cover bands — dance, comedy, magic, seasonal acts, pirates and medieval knights, some with dinner.
