One The Show Myrtle Beach Entertaining From Start to Finish

Reviewed by Ashley of ReserveDirect.comOne The Show in Myrtle Beach is an energetic, variety-packed show featuring a full 2 ½ hours of entertainment. Located at the Alabama Theater at Barefoot Landing, the show is the perfect way to end your day on the Grand Strand. After seeing the show for myself, I have no doubt in my mind as to why it was voted the #1 Live Theater Attraction for Entertainment.

The Alabama Theater features a nice stage and modern multi-media effects, as well as elaborate set designs. These are noticeable from the start of the show, which begins with “You Can’t Stop the Beat.” Greg Rowles is your host for evening, and he gets things off to a rousing start with “Boots On,” which is followed by Gail Bless singing “The Ride,” which features an excellent guitar solo from Jeff Zola. Zola segues into a performance of “Long Black Train” and “That’s Allright” nicely, which is rounded out by a moving performance of “I Saw God Today” by Rowles.

The fast-paced production launches into a Broadway segment, compete with a stellar song and dance routine during “Dancin’ Fool” and Mary Poppins flying through the air during renditions of “Chim Chim Cher-ee,” “Step In” and “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.” A hit-filled American Bandstand segment was next, featuring excellent covers of The Temptations hit “Get Ready,” Dusty Springfield’s “I Only Wanna Be With You,” and a showstopping performance of Michael Jackson’s “Don’t Stop Till You Get Enough.” The dancing was also incredible during the Michael Jackson performance – the crowd loved it!

Gail Bliss shined on the Patsy Cline themed performance as well, with “Crazy” and “Walkin’ After Midnight” sounding identical to the originals. The shadow dancing and aerial chiffon performers added a nice touch to the beautiful “My Wish,” and the toe-tapping “Are You Ready for a Miracle” performance got me moving in my seat, as did “Turn the Beat Around” which featured dancing in the audience and aerialists performers. The cover of “Sideways” by Dierks Bentley was a highlight of the show, as was “Consider Me Gone.” The show concludes with a patriotic salute featuring a medley of songs, including “This Land is My Land,” “America the Beautiful,” “Born in the USA,” and “Coming to America.”

The One Show Myrtle Beach also features hilarious comedy from Grant Turner, performing as “Ricky Mokel.” He kept the show fresh and entertaining, and had people laughing so hard they cried. He was a great addition to the show and had great chemistry with the host, Greg Rowles.
