Most families that visit Pigeon Forge come with a familiar checklist of exciting things to do while they are here. Usually these are the same things you do every year because these attractions have been around for many years, they’re familiar, your family had a good time last time you went there, and you know what to expect when you go to these places. There’s nothing wrong with that, because there are so many great things to do here in town that it’s hard to go wrong.
However, just beyond the big names and the familiar attractions and shows, there’s a very special theater in town you may have not heard about yet.
Proudly perched on the Parkway across from the Titanic Museum stands “THE ARRAY THEATER”……an “under the radar” experience that you may have driven right past without ever realizing the wonderful family entertainment you’ve been missing out on.
Thank you for taking the time to read along as we introduce you to what could be a new tradition for your family, and possibly the most memorable part of your trip.
- ARRAY THEATER:
- This beautiful theater with a classic feel is smaller in size but rich in charm! The result is an intimate experience that draws you in, giving you a front-row connection to the performers no matter where you sit.
- Now in its 4th season, this hidden gem has found its stride with several amazing shows to choose from.
- ARRAY VARIETY SHOW – A “one-of-a-kind” show with world-class singers and dancers performing every style of music you could ever hope to hear! Add to that, unique specialty acts that you can only see at Array…….quick change acts, aerial artistry, the excitement of Cyr-Wheel, the unmatched energy of our Gauchos from South America, mind boggling magic, hilarious comedy, a touching Patriotic Tribute, a section of faith and inspiration honoring our Creator, and much more!!
- ILLUSIONATION…THE MAGIC OF JASON HUDY – The hottest magic show to hit the Pigeon Forge Parkway in many years! Jason has performed literally all over the world and features the biggest illusions in town! Now in its 4th year as well, Illusionation has taken the show one step further with the “Jaws of Steel,” The Smokies most spectacular magic trick! Jason is the star of this spectacular show, but you will be absolutely amazed by everyone in this cast! If you are a family with children, this is an unforgettable “must-see” show that the entire family will absolutely love!
- OLÉ FEATURING GO GAUCHO – Since the opening of Array in 2023, Go Gaucho has been consistently one of the most popular acts in the entire show, so last year, they were given the opportunity to have their very own full length show in the Array Theater! Now in its 2nd season, Olé has become a “must-see” show for all ages as well, showcasing traditional skills that blend precision, rhythm, dance, and the thrill of boleadoras. More than just skill, Olé is about storytelling and heritage, giving you a glimpse in the wonderful culture and traditions of Argentina.
- MOUNTAIN MELODIES – Mountain Melodiesis a heartwarming and entertaining show that showcases inspiring harmonies, soulful gospel music, and lighthearted, family-friendly comedy. This uplifting performance captures the joy, hope, and togetherness that music brings. Audiences of all ages will be drawn in by the rich vocals, heartfelt storytelling, and the genuine warmth shared on stage. With a talented cast of singers, Mountain Melodies takes you on a joyful journey filled with laughter, emotion, and timeless songs that stir the soul. Whether you’re a longtime fan of Southern gospel or Contemporary Christian music, or simply looking for a feel-good experience, “Mountain Melodies” is sure to lift your spirits and leave you smiling as we celebrate the simple joys of life through music and memories!
- CHRISTMAS AT ARRAY AND CHRISTMAS MEMORIES –
During November and December of each year Christmas comes to life as THE ARRAY THEATER is magically transformed into a festive winter wonderland celebrating everyone’s favorite time of the year!
ILLUSIONATION AND OLÉ continue their amazing shows, but with a holiday flair, while Array completely transforms into a complete Christmas celebration that rivals the spirit of the North Pole.
In just three short years, “CHRISTMAS AT ARRAY” has become a holiday tradition for countless families and quickly became the talk of the town during the holiday season. If you plan on being in the Great Smoky Mountains during the last two months of the year, put “CHRISTMAS AT ARRAY” on your “must-do” list, and book early, because this show sells out often!
We also added a second Christmas show to our lineup last year which became an instant favorite for all who were fortunate enough to see it. It’s called “CHRISTMAS MEMORIES” and is performed in the mornings and afternoons for those who enjoy earlier shows or who may have dinner plans for later in the evening. Featuring five incredibly talented vocalists, “CHRISTMAS MEMORIES” is a “feel-good” show for all ages that has a bit more of an intimate feel as the songs take you back to the Christmases of your childhood.
