PIGEON FORGE, Tenn. – Ahoy mateys! The “Pirates Revenge™ Dinner and Show,” produced by Fee/Hedrick Family Entertainment Group, will sail Summer 2019 into Pigeon Forge in the current Smoky Mountain Opry™ Theater.
A $20 million renovation will take place of the Smoky Mountain Opry™ Theater to turn it into a pirate-themed dinner show. Pending the approval process, construction should begin early November 2018. This will not affect the running of The “Christmas at the Smoky Mountain Opry™” show, which will proceed as usual.
The new production will include a retractable water stage that will be the largest in the Southeast. The show will feature moving ships complete with brand new technology that is being designed just for this project. The show will also include actors, stunt divers, acrobats, singers, dancers and live animals.
To incorporate the food aspect, a kitchen will be added to the inside of the theater to make way for the dinner portion of the show. The existing theater seats will be removed and tables will be placed in the theater.
“Magic Beyond Belief” starring Darren Romeo will move across the street from “The Hatfield and McCoy Dinner Feud” to its own stand-alone theater and will open in March 2019. The company hopes to keep “The Smoky Mountain Opry Show” and move it to a different location to be announced at a later date.
