- Thank you Alabama!!  My wife and I purchased season tickets for this year, and have enjoyed coming to the show more frequently. It was nice to be able to bring our grandchildren free of charge - they LOVED the show, as well.  Thank you singers and dancers (and comedians) for putting your hearts into this show.  It's so nice to be able to enjoy such a family-oriented production!!

- We purchased a condo in MB in 2002, and have begun to feel like Alabama Theatre family.  We love the show, have been chosen a few times to go up on the stage for Fever, and will continue to tell people about it.  It is a very clean, family-oriented show - buying season tickets has been a plus.  We were able to take 4 of our grandchildren recently.  What a GREAT source of entertainment!!!!!  Thanks to all of you!!!

- We have just returned from our yearly Oct visit to Myrtle Beach and to the Alabama Theatre. We've been coming down every May and Oct since 2002, and always make it a point to see the show. It's definitely the highlight of our vacation.The talent on that stage is second to none and even though there have been many changes over the years, the quality is always there. I usually spend a few minutes speaking with Greg, (except this time) and he's one of the nicest people I've ever met. He makes you feel like you've been friends forever. When he and Grant do their bits it's hilarious, there's nothing funnier. Thanks to all of you for a very entertaining evening. See you in May.

- ONE is Number ONE!  We have been coming to the Alabama Theatre in MB for 12 years --when ONE began we were there and we return each and every year.  Sometimes 2 or 3 times a visit when family and friends come in.

We were happy to see Sharon Kaminski as one of the dancers, being that we too are from Point Park University....she is an excellent dancer and is showing the world what PPU has to offer.  Keep up the good work Sharon!

Greg and Ricky are wonderful as well, all the dancers and singers are so talented.

One is #ONE in our book!
God Bless --Bill & Cathy Cameron

- We have gone to Myrtle Beach for years and we never miss going to the Alabama Theatre with our children and grandchildren.  It is such a wonderful, wholesome show and we enjoy it each and every time we have been there.  The dancers and singers are certainly awesome and put so much effort into their dancing and singing.  It is certainly named appropriately enough "The One Show" because it is the definetly the one show to see in Myrtle Beach.  My sister Carolyn worked for the Alabama Theatre for a few years and she was the one who kept insisting we should go and see this fabulous show. She was always promoting the talent of the performers and telling us we would be impressed by their abilities. After seeing the show for the first time I found out she was certainly right. Greg is a wonderful emcee and Ricky is extemely funny. We found the whole "crew" from ticketing to the snack bar so friendly and helpful. Keep up the good work.

- October 8, 2009 Show.  My husband and I just returned from Branson and let me tell you - they have nothing on the Alabama Theatre.  Alabama is a top notch production with the best performers you can find anywhere.  We will continue to be Season Ticket holders and never get tired of seeing this wonderful show!!!

- Oct. 3 rd Show Friday night.  I thought Jason Cox did a wonderful job standing in for Greg.  The show did not have any mishaps and the flow and all the timing was right on.  Get well soon Greg.  Robert Napier was as usual the greatest and Jeff Zona, what can you say about the best of the best.  The entire cast was as always the best and will always be the best on the Grand Strand.  Thanks to all, Glenn & Roberta

- I have been going to Myrtle Beach for over 10 years and every time I go I have to see the show ONE. (The regular and Christmas show) Greg and the staff has been good friends of mine and I will treasure them until the day I die. Not only they have talent, but they are good christian friends. Thank God I am part of their lives at least twice a year. Keep up the good work and I will keep coming to see the show.

- Being a relative "newbie" to the area, I wasn't sure if I should buy a season pass or not.  However, after treating all of our out of town guests to the show, and still having the desire to see the show again, I decided to try the season pass for a year.  It was the best decision I have made since moving here!  I have been to the show a dozen times and to see Josh Turner and the Oak Ridge Boys, and I NEVER get tired of it.  Ricky Mokel makes me laugh till tears come every time I see him, the talent and professionalism of the cast just gets more amazing every time I attend.  I expect to attend a few more times this season and you can bet that I will be one of the first to buy my 2010 Season Pass!

- We have been attending the show for many years.  My daughter has had One on her list for must things to do since she was 2 years old.  We have seen One at least 3 times a year (sometimes more) and the Christmas Show every year.  We also try to attend the Ricky Mokel (Grant Turner) comedy event.

Love the show and the professionalism of the cast and crew.  Thanks also to Grant for showing that comedy can be done for all ages and still be excellent.  We can't wait to return.

- My family and I have traveled to Myrtle Beach each summer for the past 15 years.  We always make a point to see your show.  It just keeps getting better!  It is hard to pick a favorite of all the performers because of the overall superior quality of the entire cast! (My husband received a Ricky Mokel CD for his birthday was delighted.)

The show does mean something to me personally:  I grew up playing piano, oragan and accordian.  My dad played guitar and mandolin.  My brother played piano, guitar, violin and banjo.  Since dad and my brother are deceased, all I have are my memories of playing music with them when we were growing up.  I have no doubt that if my brother was still around (killed in a car crash), he would be performing his banjo at one of the shows down here.  He was a natural performer and an amazing banjo player. A few years ago you played "O Brother Where Art Thou" music and I cried for the sheer joy of it. And, Orange Blossom Special was dad's favorite song.  So you can see, I LOVE your music!!!!!!! I feel like I go back to my childhood when I hear you folks play............

Thank you to all who work so hard to make these performances top-notch and memorable for us.  We will see all of you next year.

J. Badillo 8-15-09
- I attended the show of 8/15/09, and was thoroughly entertained. The singing, dancing, comedy and musicians was great. Am glad I found the Alabama Theater. By the way I was one of the persons pulled from tha audience for the "fever routine". I enjoy this too and am looking forward to see the video!!!

Tonya Rogers 8-15-09
- LOVED the show!!!  I absolutely love the way you praised God throughout the entire show!!!  The only thing missing was an invitation at the end!  Great job!  My kids love Mary Poppins too!

Ralph Maxwell 8-14-09
-My wife and I love the show "The ONe" and have seen it six times as we can remember and the Christmas show twice and many of the other acts.  We truly do enjoy the show and the changes and improvements.  And, as close as we can count we probably average about four people with us when we come.

My son in law likes the Mary Poppins routine and I like them all.

I did see Gregg in the lobby last month and just suggested that when updates and changes be made that you look into a song "To Sir With Love" from a 1967 movie by that title, staring Sydny Poitier.  It was sung by LuLu and would be a great tune for a dance routine.

The dancing was great this year, not that it has ever been bad, but there was a change and it was a good change.

We also like Sharon(?) Kaminski.  She brings a lot to the show year after year and the new talent introduced this year I feel will be a positive for the show as well.

If you make it this far down the letter Thanks, for the patience.

Doris McCray 8-12-09
-Of all the many times I have been to the show I never dreamed of being picked to dance with Greg. I love to bring my out of town company. Thank You Everyone that makes this show so good.

Roger Richardson
High Point, NC 8-7-09
-We had attended the "One" show and the Christmas show at the Alabama Theater in Myrtle Beach, SC.  We thoroughly enjoyed both.  We decided we would go to Branson, Mo. and see some "real" entertainment.  Well there was nothing in Branson that could compare to the entertainment at the Alabama Theater in Myrtle Beach, SC!!  The talent is amazing and Grant Turner is the funniest guy I have ever seen. We can't wait to go back again.

-My wife and I enjoyed the Christmas show extremely.
I am not a beachgoer but this was something that brought me to Myrtle Beach for my first time.

Bruce Welch 8-7-09
-The cast done such a wonderful job this year.  The selection of music and dance was fantastic.  The pairing of song and singer was the best job i have since i starting attending the show nine years ago.  Great Job!  It is with rarity that a person can leave all worries and cares behind for a few hours and really enjoy themselves and your show accomplished that with my wife and myself.  Thank You!  See you at Christmas.

-The Alabama Theatre has far surpasses the other show experiences in Myrtle Beach.  I have not laughed so hard in years.  The comic routine was the best I've ever seen.  One The Show is a class act, better than any show I've even seen up north.  I'll have the best memories for a lifetime!

The talent and variety was awesome, the dancers were amazing and Greg continues to impress the audiences in his most gracious and humble ways.  My kids and mother attended with me and you managed to entertain all three generations.  Once again you guys have come up with a great show that we're fortunate to have in the Myrtle Beach Area.

Christine and Jason Cox
"We are so excited to be in our fifth season here at the Alabama Theatre. It's hard to believe that we have been singing together and entertaining audiences for over ten years. As a result of this lifestyle, we are often in each other's company literally around the clock. This sometimes makes it easy to communicate on stage with just a glance. Other times it is hard to fight giggles! Whether we are on stage as Mary Poppins and Bert or passing each other in the hallway, we always try to have fun. But the excitement does not end when the curtain falls, for our toddler, Reilly, keeps us entertained all the time."

See Where Legendary ALABAMA Got Their Start
The Band began playing at the Bowery in Myrtle Beach in the 1970’s under the name Wild Country.  Working for tips only, the band quickly built a loyal fan base, drawing tourists back year after year.  The group evolved over the next 3 decades to become one of the most successful country music acts in history.  They selected Myrtle Beach as their destination because of its tourist industry and the unique mix of people that made up the audience.  “It was a place that would give a band a serious opportunity to play for a wide variety of people,” explains Randy Owen.  It was only natural years later for them to return to their roots to build their namesake theatre.

Tammy Cochran
Tammy Cochran, from the little town of Austinburg, Ohio rose to fame in 2001, earning acclaim as country music’s greatest new voice with comparisons to legends like Patsy Cline. “It wasn’t supposed to even be a single,” she says of her ballad Angels In Waiting, which hit #9 on Billboard’s Country Singles Chart on its road to an incredible series of accolades. “I never really thought people beyond my own family would be able to relate to it.” Thousands of fans across the world connected not only with the song, but also with the emotionally compelling video, which featured home movie clips of Cochran playing with her brothers Shawn and Alan, who both died young. The video not only won a handful of major awards - including a Billboard Music Video Award and Video Of The Year at the Christian Country Awards, but turned Cochran into a spokesperson and fundraiser for Cystic Fibrosis, a role that continues to this day.

Hello everybody,

This is Greg Rowles, the emcee and one of the featured entertainers of one The Show right here at the Alabama Theatre in Myrtle Beach, SC.  Thanks for visiting our new Community Page.  You have entered what will hopefully become one of the coolest things we've introduced in my time with the Theatre.  I am now part of the high tech movement that is sweeping the globe.  I confess I'm no technoweenie, but even I have gotten the hang of this stuff.

On this page or through its links, you will be able to check out recent videos from the show, greetings from your favorite cast and band members, see cool "backstage" footage that everyone is always curious about, even check out what it looks like to be on the stage in front of a "live" audience.  If you want the latest about what is going on with us, you will find it all right here on the Community Page.  You'll even see what happens when we take a night off and Guest Artists visit the Theatre.

You are also invited to share your thoughts about the show and experiences while at the Theatre.  Please make sure you visit often so you don't miss a beat, pardon the pun.   Oh, yeah, I almost forgot to mention we are Twittering.  Join Twitter and follow our "Tweets".  Don't sweat it, if I can do it, you can do it.  Thanks for stopping by.


We look forward to you visiting again.  I'm Greg Rowles and I'll see you here at the Alabama Theatre!
