Dolly Parton Announces New Pigeon Forge Dinner Show To Replace Lumberjack Adventure

Just a couple of weeks ago, Jay and I visited Dixie Stampede in Pigeon Forge, TN. If you have not been to that dinner show, you really should add it to your travel bucket list as it is a great place to have a fabulous time getting entertained while also enjoying a great meal. Well, Dolly Parton has just announced a new dinner show in Pigeon Forge which will celebrate her family and the mountains of East Tennessee.

Dolly Parton Announces The Newest Pigeon Forge Dinner Show

After the success of Dolly Parton’s NBC movies about her childhood, Pigeon Forge’s newest dinner theatre attraction is telling a special story very close to her heart. After months of work, Parton and her production team are opening a new show shaped by the life and family of the Smoky Mountain songbird herself.

“This new story is very special to me,” Parton explained. That is why during my first visit to the Great Smoky Mountains this year I will open a new show that celebrates my family before I was born. With the success of my family stories Coat of Many Colors and Christmas of Many Colors – Circle of Love over the last two years, I knew this was a story I wanted to tell and the theatre in Pigeon Forge near the Island is the perfect venue.”

The production will debut this spring at the former Lumberjack Adventure theatre on the Parkway in Pigeon Forge. Jim Rule, CEO of World Choice Investments, LLC, said this new show is what the customers are asking for. “We will release more details about Dolly’s story soon. We have been telling stories for 30 years and this new show showcases the world-class storytelling of Dolly and celebrates the Great Smoky Mountains and her family.”

Pre-purchased ticket holders for a Lumberjack Adventure show scheduled in 2017 should contact the box office at 844-322-4400 for re-ticketing.
