Before they were Grammy Award-winning Country Hall of Famers, Alabama used to play for tips at The Bowery on Ocean Boulevard. Years after their chart-topping success, the band sought to bring high-level live music and entertainment to audiences around the Grand Strand, and collaborated with the owners of the Grand Ole Opry to open this Barefoot Landing venue.

In addition to their multi-million dollar blockbuster “ONE: The Show,” Alabama Theatre brings in some of the biggest names in the music industry year-in and year-out.

“ONE: The Show” is a powerful journey full of song, dance, and laughter, that will affect each member of the audience in a unique way. The show features a blend of country, rock, pop, gospel, Broadway, and family-friendly comedy. Married couple, Jason and Christine Cox, will perform one of America’s greatest tunes; The Lady is a Tramp. ONE also showcases some of Broadway’s most popular numbers that will entertain all ages with renditions of Disney’s The Lion King, The Greatest Showman, The Beauty and the Beast, and Aladdin! Celebrate the decades with an assortment of new songs like, Sheena Easton’s Morning Train, Lady Gaga’s Born this Way, and Taylor Swift’s Me. Another new production number uses the latest in video and lights to celebrate one of the most playful eras of American music: DISCO!
