Just soso

1 man show is a little to much for singer to handle started out ok with jonny cash but lost it with Elvis he should keep it just jonny cash not very good at Elvis..but it was almost like a bad elvis impersonator doing cash...but to be fair singer has a good voice but not for elvis..and the fact that is was a tribute to elvis and he sang other people's songs tells me that he needs to work more on elvis voice..not tring to be harsh but I want to tell the truth and I dont lie so that's that...he also is not funny so stick with singing but work harder at it...my wife and I walked out after 2 songs as elvis sorryif the truth hurts...

Idea better than performance

Cash & The King: Tribute show for Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley in a dingy shopping center theater the size of an average store. Washrooms were out the door and around the corner! There was only 1 entertainer who played both parts. He sang 4-5 Cash songs and then changed clothes and came out as Elvis. The entertainer has a nice voice and did a good job as Elvis. It was a fun presentation but did not live up to my expectations. The singer kept implying he was hot and tired between songs, which bothered me. I just wanted to enjoy the music.

Operator response

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I truly appreciate your honesty. I’m glad to hear you found the show fun and enjoyed parts of the performance, especially the Elvis portion. Hayden works very hard to honor both Johnny Cash and Elvis in Cash & The King, and I’m glad that came through. I also understand your comment about expectations. As advertised, the show features one performer portraying both legends in a more intimate setting, which creates a different kind of experience than larger productions. That said, I completely understand that every guest’s expectations can vary. We are located inside The Shops of Pigeon Forge, where restrooms are shared within the plaza and just a short walk from the theater. I also appreciate your note about the commentary during the show—feedback like that is helpful as we continue to refine the experience. Thank you again for visiting us and for your thoughtful input. I hope we have the opportunity to welcome you back the next time you’re in Pigeon Forge. Sincerely, Steven Best

Definitely a Must See

This show was a great experience. I would definitely recommend it to anyone. The performer, Hayden Lynn, was truly a professional. We went during the off season so the crowd was smaller than usual and he was very personable. He interacted with the audience - apparently several had been to previous shows. He honored America and all veterans. It was such a pleasure. Hayden performed both Johnny Cash and Elvis and was superb at both performers. If I return to Pidgeon Forge, I will make sure I go see him again. Or anywhere else he performs!! It was not overpriced and lasted the perfect amount of time. Very lively and friendly atmosphere. After the show, he met with the audience and took pictures.

Celebrating Elvis

What a wonderful surprise! This is a small venue, however, the young man giving tribute to Johnny Cash and Elvis is amazing. So very talented. We laughed, we cried, we cheered. I would recommend this show to everyone!

Operator response

Thank you so much for the wonderful review. I truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. I love hearing that the show was such a pleasant surprise and that you were able to laugh, cheer, and even get a little emotional along the way — that’s exactly the kind of experience we hope to create. Hayden Lynn is incredibly talented, and I’m so glad his tribute to both Johnny Cash and Elvis made such a strong impression. Our theater is intentionally designed to be more intimate so guests can feel closer to the music and truly connect with the performance. Many visitors tell us they love being able to experience the show up close rather than from far away in a large venue. Thank you again for your recommendation and for spending part of your time with us in Pigeon Forge. We hope to welcome you back again for another great night of live entertainment. Sincerely, Steven Best

Great show!

We went to the “Cash and the King” show. We were pleasantly surprised. The entertainer is a 19 year old young man who has the voice of someone who has been singing years beyond his age. His cash performance was really good - but his sweet spot is definitely his Elvis portion of the show. WOW. He’s dang good! The show was not too long, not too short. Four stars instead of five for the venue. The theater itself is small, seats hurt your rear after awhile and you have to go outside (literally) to use a public bathroom and isn’t the cleanest. None of this was a deal breaker though. I would highly recommend.

Operator response

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review—and for joining us for Cash & The King! I’m thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed the show and that the performance exceeded your expectations. Hayden is truly special, and it means a lot to hear your praise for both his Johnny Cash tribute and especially his Elvis performance. Comments like “WOW” never get old, and I’m glad the pacing of the show felt just right for you. I also sincerely appreciate your constructive feedback about the venue. Comfort is important to us, and we always want our guests to enjoy the experience from start to finish. We do offer complimentary seat cushions for anyone who would like a little extra comfort, and we’re always happy to move guests to another seat when possible—please never hesitate to let us know during your visit. If we don’t know at the time, we can’t help, but we truly want everyone to be comfortable. Regarding the restrooms, they are shared with the surrounding entertainment venues and are located just a very short walk around the corner from our theater—similar to what you’d experience at many large attractions and theme parks. They are maintained by a small shared staff, and we absolutely will pass along your comments so they can be addressed. Thank you for bringing that to our attention. Most importantly, I’m grateful that none of these items took away from your enjoyment of the show and that you’d still highly recommend it. Your feedback helps us continue to improve, and we truly appreciate it. We hope to welcome you back again soon for another great night of music in Pigeon Forge. Warm regards, Steven Best
