Dolly Parton’s Smoky Mountain Adventures Show To Open This May

March 23, 2017 by Dawn McAlexander

Dolly Parton's Smoky Mountain Adventures Show To Open This May

Recently we shared with you about how Pigeon Forge’s Lumberjack Adventure would soon be rebranding. Now we have more information about what Dolly Parton has in mind for the new show centered around her life in the Smoky Mountains. Check out what we know now about the new dinner attraction in Pigeon Forge, TN.

Dolly Parton’s Smoky Mountain Adventures Show To Open This May

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. Dolly Parton’s Smoky Mountain Adventures Dinner and Show will take guests on a journey they will not soon forget.

“Now that Jennifer Nettles and Rick Schroeder have made my parents famous, I thought it was time to tell a story about them before I was around stealing the spotlight,” Parton explained with a laugh. “Things were a lot more exciting before I was born and you’ll see it in this show! I am really looking forward to seeing the finished product in May after all the work we have put in this winter.”

The show will include some incredible new acts designed specifically for the theatre stage. With the backdrop of Dolly’s music and tapestry of characters, the Owens and the Partons will do battle for the Pigeon Forge mill. The magic and the mystery of the Great Smoky Mountains forge unlikely new relationships and start the story of a family that shaped the future of the Great Smoky Mountains in East Tennessee.

Pre-purchased ticket holders for a Lumberjack Adventure show scheduled in 2017 should contact the box office at 844-322-4400 for re-ticketing. Tickets for Dolly Parton’s Smoky Mountain Adventures Dinner and Show will go on sale soon.

    How awesome that she’s going to have a show. I don’t know that I’ll ever be able to get around to seeing it but that sure would be pretty awesome.
