About Grand Majestic Theater
Grand Majestic Theater stands out as a premier destination for live music shows in Pigeon Forge, offering a unique dinner theater experience with flexible ticketing options. Guests can purchase show-only tickets or add food service, with everything delivered directly to tables during performances.
The Soul of Motown show delivers exceptional entertainment, featuring talented singers who masterfully perform Aretha Franklin and Temptations classics that have audiences singing along from the opening numbers. The Grand American Opry proves equally impressive with live musical performances and spectacular costume changes throughout the show.
While the building itself shows signs of age and could benefit from updates, the worn appearance quickly fades into the background once the lights dim and the music begins. The venue's charm lies in its authentic performances rather than polished aesthetics.
Post-show photo opportunities with cast members add a personal touch to the experience. The performers demonstrate genuine talent and passion, particularly evident during the moving veteran tribute that concludes the Grand American Opry show.
Ticket prices typically range from $40-55 per person, varying by show and performance date. Though food isn't included in base pricing, the convenient table service allows guests to order drinks and snacks without missing any of the action on stage.
