- AJRMyrtle Beach, South Carolina3 contributionsAmazing talent with real entertainers!An absolutely amazing experience with live vocals throughout! The cast were professional and engaged the audience through out the performance. This is a small venue which is deceiving but would rank GTS far above the more well known large venues in the Grand Strand that certainly have the lights, amazing sets , however, lip sync most of the performances. At GTS, you can appreciate the talent as entertainers who want to inspire and insure you have a memorable experience! If I could give GTS 10 stars, I would!WOW - What a review. Your statement in the review is so true about the Live Vocals here at our theatre. We pride ourselves on that factor. Thanks so much for the "10" stars we truly appreciate you!Written 26 October 2023This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited October 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 24 October 2023
- charlottev735Mobile, Alabama2 contributionsThis was FUN-DA-FULL! Great productionGreat entertainment!!! Great singing and audience engagement. However, I would like to have seen it a bit more inter-generational and diverse. Motown music had lots of dance moves and perhaps high school dancers or a local dance studio can contribute. When we think of Motown it was more than just a sound, it was also style, glamour, and dance. I attended with my mom and 2 other ladies ( one who is 90)whose sentiments were adding evening gowns as the women's wardrobe would enhance the overall quality of the show. I would HIGHLY recommend this show if you are in the Myrtle Beach area.Thanks so much for your comments. In the beginning we did have dancers on stage and the general consensus was that it took away from the performers/music. More cast members also would require a much higher ticket price. We like to keep everything streamlined so all guests are able to afford this performance. Thank you for your comments on the ladies wearing gowns. While gowns are appealing they are very difficult when it comes to the many costume changes. We appreciate your feedback. Thanks for your review and attending the show.Written 14 December 2023This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited December 2023Travelled with familyWritten 13 December 2023
- S5362DWjohnmWilmington, North Carolina15 contributionsFantastic Motown ReviewWe went to the Motown Christmas Review on Wednesday, 13 Dec. Fantastic show with amazing talent and "big time" production (variety of Motown songs, Christmas music, comedic numbers, and costume changes). Was not sure what to expect in a small theater - but we had a wonderful time and it was well worth it.Thanks for your review. We are so glad you enjoyed the show. The intimate theatre gives the show a more personal experience. Thanks for the 5 stars.

- Brahim Z1 contributionMotown Show a Knockout!Thought we would either have a great laugh or love the show! Ended up being a great display of talent, singing and performing classic Motown hits. The performers were very engaging and told a story as they filled in with hits from the greats in Motown history. Even did a little memorial of the some of the greats who have passed on. Loved the show and would go again when in the area! Thank you!!We are so glad you enjoyed the show. This show has so many wonderful and memorable moments in it for everyone to enjoy. We are excited that you enjoyed the memorial of all the greats that made Motown what it was. Remember when you come back you won't see the same show twice as we do change up the songs every couple of months to keep the show always fresh and new. Of course, we keep some of the all time greatest hits and those will always be presented. We appreciate your review. Thank you for choosing GTS Theatre.Written 18 March 2024This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited March 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 16 March 2024

Single performer who knows what he's doing, plays the piano well in his own right, sings well, has fun while he's doing it and invites you to have fun along with him. Background music track adds to the effect.
Theater isn't the center of glamour, but it gets the job done. Don't bother coming more than 30 minutes before the show starts in October, because the doors stay locked until then anyway.
And come with a satisfied stomach: nowhere to eat within walking distance, and only popcorn and candy served inside.

I love all things Elvis and this show does not disappoint. Alex Mitchell is a wonderful performer paying tribute to Elvis Presley. We live about an hour away, and go quite often to the Elvis Live Show on Thursday nights. Tickets are reasonable. The theater is a small setting, but don’t let that fool you. The small setting is actually a plus. Alex is great at interacting with the audience. Prepare to be impressed

Saw the Motown Review and it was great! The interaction between the performers and the audience was really fun! If you buy directly from the theater you can get front row VIP seats that are more comfortable (most of the other seats are very cramped because it is a very small Caberet type theater).

A wonderful show, “Elvis,” young, talented, very personable performer really delivered a class act. He then surprised our Lady Islanders with a surprise visit at Driftwoods, where we enjoyed lunch. GTS is a small, friendly, well run theatre and I have never been disappointed in any of their shows.

While vacationing in Myrtle Beach this past February with my husband and dad, I found GTS Theatre while searching the internet for shows. We went to see Motor City Musical: A Tribute to Motown. Every performer was amazing!! We enjoyed it so much that we went back a few days later and watched Elvis Live Starring Alex Mitchell. Alex put on a great show and was very entertaining.
GTS Theatre was the highlight of our trip, and my dad said he would visit Myrtle Beach again just to see the shows.
The entire staff is extremely friendly and welcoming, and the performers are top notch.

The venue was too small and in a sketchy part of town. They obviously didn't do a sound check because we were in the back and the volume was way too loud. The 4 ladies screamed more than sang and didn't have the best voices. The men were better and not nearly as loud. We left at intermission and took the lose. The tickets were pretty expensive for what we got. The owner turned us off when we heard her chastise the woman because she wasn't there on time. Her jokes were in terrible taste.

We are sorry you were not impressed with the show or the theatre. However, the theatre IS NOT in a sketchy part of town. We do sound checks. No one was screaming. No one was chastised for being late. Sorry you didn't care for her light humor as you are the ONLY ones that have left this type of review for the evening. Let's recap. You purchased your tickets from Vacations Made Easy, those seats are seated first come first serve for what is left in the theatre (the later you arrive the further in the back of the theatre you are seated.. Thus, the reason you were in the back. You paid Vacations Made Easy for the tickets NOT GTS. Therefore, we don't control the price that you paid them. You arrived outside of your designated check in time which was printed on your voucher and you also received courtesy test message to remind you of your arrival time for the show that evening. You came in with less people that you ordered and we had a waiting list of over 40 others that wanted to see the show, at check in all that was mentioned was "oh I wish you would have called as we could have had another couple that wanted to see the show come. Due to your lack of communication, others missed out that really wanted to be at the theatre that night. It's a shame that you were so disappointed at an award winning show ranking as on the best shows in Myrtle Beach. Your exaggerated and misleading review has been noted. Have a nice day.

We saw the Christmas show.
Fabulous singers and song selections; liked the mix of Motown and Christmas songs. Loved their outfits and accessories!They had great voices, showmanship, professionalism, crowd pleaser attitudes and played well off each other! Loved the audience participation! Hated for it to end! We will see them again and bring other family/friends.
It’s a small, quaint venue in an older building, so all seats are good.
We appreciated that no latecomers allowed, so people aren’t interrupting the show and climbing over you!

Thank you so much for the great review and details. It really does help. I'm glad you like our new latecomer policy. When people are late it used to ruin the experience for everyone that's why we implemented the new policy in 2022. It's great to have that feedback. Thanks for coming out and celebrating with us. We appreciate you!

The show was amazing, the performers can really sing, love the interaction with the audience. My only 2 negatives are the site says first come first serve however your seat is already assigned and I know covid is not as strong but for me it was to close, my party was ok and comfortable myself and others did wear a mask and was comfortable. We partied singed and danced and yes I will return when I am in the area.

First come first serve is the Bronze section only of the theatre. This does vary, people that purchase Bronze seats directly from the theatre are reserved with the best in that section as to purchase date. The VIP and gold seats are assigned in the order of purchase date. If you order tickets from an outside ticketing agent or supplier like Trip Advisor those seats are always in Bronze and seated first come first serve after the guests that ordered bronze directly from GTS. I’m so glad you had a wonderful time at the show. Thank you for your review we appreciate you!

We thoroughly enjoyed the Motown show with Christmas thrown in. The voices were very good , and their interaction with the audience made the show so much fun. The only “con” is that the chairs were crammed in leaving little room between those of us in the audience.

Thank you so much for your review. The chairs are only together with no space in the Bronze section of the theatre which is tickets purchased through a third party. The monies you spend with the 3rd party for tickets support them NOT the theatre. They pay the theatre very little money for those seats. Thus the reason there is no space as we need to sell 3-4 seats in that section to make up the difference than if you ordered directly through GTS. We appreciate you and thank you for your review.

We saw the Motown Tribute Show at GTS Theater. It was fabulous! It’s a small intimate theater with Cabaret type seating so everyone is quite close to the stage. The performers were excellent! There is a very interesting history to this little theater too. We can’t wait to come back to Myrtle Beach, as we will be going there again for sure!

We were there a few years ago and keep up with your facebook page, notice that heavy set lady and her daughter that did the Motown review are no longer there. also the another gentle man and the younger guy that did Sittin on the dock of the bay are no longer there, show just don't seem to be as great as it was then, Going to visit the area again soon and even recommended this show to others visiting the area, don't want anyone disappointed. Where can we find that group at these days? Need to bring them back.

How old is this theatre? I read one review that is was old and smelly. Have read great reviews on the Motown production.
Written 16 March 2018
It is 7 years old, there are no smells except popcorn in the theatre. We keep the theatre very clean. Although, the theatre is located in an "older" building that was not a theatre originally we have upgraded everything. This year we are redoing the bathrooms. Although the redo is an "old type style" as it has a "Gatsby 1920's" theme. It's small and intimate with updated seating up to 140 guests per show.
Written 14 April 2022
The snack bar has items that range in price from $1 to $2 which is very economical. Carry-ins are not allowed in the theatre and the theatre staff does ask the people to return the items to their vehicles or opt to throw them away.

All shows at GTS theatre are Family Friendly meaning great for all ages. Unless, we have a special "Comedy Night" then that show if it's not family friendly we will not sell child tickets for the show and put out a warning that it's not family friendly. If you are bringing your family to GTS Theatre for any show that is a Mainstay show such as the Original Motown Tribute, Elvis Live Tribute, Elton John Tribute and Magic & Comedy those are ALL Family Friendly Shows.
