Incredible experience! Facility is gorgeous, people are incredibly friendly, and the show was way more than we were expecting. If you’re looking to save a few bucks and book the cheaper seats on the sides of the theater, I recommend choosing seats on the right side of the theater as many canyon related elements can’t be fully viewed from the left side of the amphitheater.

Nice musical covering the history of Texas as a young state. It varies every year so you wont be disappointed to see it several times. The outdoors amphitheater is a beautiful setting with the backdrop being the canyon walls. The play gets better and better with special affects. There is a dinner (optional $$$) before the play but its kinda expensive and the BBQ was not the best. Your ticket will get you a reserved seat but there are no bad seats. They do have one intermission but its still a little long so with that in mind you might want a seat near the top. There is an area up there where you can stand to stretch your legs. They also have a concession stand that serves cold drinks and snacks. After the play the actors will hang around and mingle with the visitors which is nice. Just remember No photography is allowed during the show but you are allowed to take pictures or video when the fireworks start. Its a great show so dont miss it if youre there during the show season (June- mid Aug).

The Texas Show is very much worth seeing! I went on the hottest night of the summer but a nice breeze makes it fairly comfortable. They had a nice barbeque dinner option before that was casual but satisfying. There are no pictures allowed during the show, so my pictures are limited to the finale where they do allow it. They use horses, amazing props, and impressive special effects with a few wow moments to bring together a romantic comedy that brings historical perspective on the Panhandle of Texas. The production quality is high. The dancing and singing were very well choreographed and performed. They give a touching tribute at the end to veterans.

Marvelous, the music, dancing, the fireworks, all marvelous. The canyon is magical at night. I highly recommend the middle section, about a third of the way up. Front row and you will have a neck ache from looking up and you cant take in the whole stage. We came early for the dinner and it was very good. The young waiters wait on you hand and foot. Lovely surroundings, everything is outside. I love Palo Duro Canyon. It was an evening I will never forget.

Unexpectedly astounding production! These folks really know how to put on a show! And it included fireworks! They were showcasing a veteran tribute on July 3 and it was very touching and patriotic.They do not just use the stage for their production... they use the backdrop of the canyon floor and the canyon itself to really bring us an experience I will never forget. I think my favorite was the prairie fire. The absolute artistic expression in dance with our many struggles against fast and furious fires was truly moving.The different characters and intertwined stories were a great way to teach us all our history and inspire us with how they overcame tribulations.Really touching was Quanah Parkers role. He is a cousin (as we all are once you get 6 times removed ;-) ) thru his mother. And while I knew there was a town nearby named after him, it didnt really connect.It was slow sometimes... but a slowing down of the action means you appreciate the intensity more. The music... was a little disappointing. But I grew up watching and performing Oklahoma! So they had quite a bar to hit.They have small mikes which assist in amplifying their voices ever so slightly, so you are basically surrounded by sound and immersed in the musical. Whoever does sound does an amazing job. Immersed but not overpowered.It is uncomfortable due to the tight seating, but center and midway to top up are the best places to view. The use of the canyon floor by the story line is missed if you are to close to the front. The weather was wonderful.They dont allow pictures until the fireworks, so all of mine are from that point.But I have to say.. that lone cowboy carrying the flag at the top of the canyon is so powerful it gave me goosebumps.Going to try to get out there one more time before it ends the season. I cant believe Ive lived here 7.5 years and never been! And what is sad? Other people I know have lived here for 25-30 years and theyve never seen it either! I will be dragging them kicking and screaming if I have to!

Always great - a must see - in the second largest canyon in the U.S.A.

Very charming and beautiful landscape.I take my charter bus groups and they have a great time.

It was a good show but hard to watch when you are uncomfortable the whole time. Seats need to be modernized.

Must see the play Texas. Its about 3 to 4 hours of Fires, Lighting Strikes, Water Cannons, Lasers and Horses all on the canyon wall and base. A one-of-a-kind experience you cant find anywhere else. Great for all ages.

Enjoyed the play tremendously. We ate the BBQ before hand which is a must. It was a great way to spend the 4th of July with an amazing fireworks show following the performance

Absolutely amazing! I was blown away! The chorus and actors are top notch and delivered an incredible performance. Everything from the lighting, pyrotechnics, music, impressive stage setting and costume changes were simply stunning. I cannot wait to come back, a definite must see!

I am a local who has been to the show several times in the past and it was always good but I always felt it was too much of a romance story. I was pleasantly surprised with the new version of the musical! A little bit of comedy, drama, and romance all in one.. plus the military tribute at the end is AMAZING! Talented cast and crew! Will be attending this every summer for sure from now on.

It was amazing. Money well spent. Every Texan should have this on their bucket list! Wasn’t too hot in the canyon. There is snacks and drinks so as well. Along with a cool gift shop.

Awesome, if your near Canyon TX go see it.

Excellent musical in a beautiful setting

Absolutely incredible musical! We met people there that it was their first time to see it all the way down to the 20th time to see it! There’s a lot of great talent on that stage, you don’t even realize you’ve been sitting for almost 2 hours! The chairs are very comfortable, there’s a short intermission in the middle, and the food prices are very reasonable! The firework show at the end was a lot of fun! You can’t take pictures or video during the performance, but you can during the finale! You’ll want to make sure this is on your list of things to do while in the area!

Unfortunately the show is closed in Oct but I did check out the theater on a rainy day! LOL

This was an outstanding performance. We enjoyed it tremendously! In late July, between 8 and 9pm, the canyon was still around 90 degrees. The little store sells bottles of water and they’re definitely worth the $3 price tag! Also be aware that you have to drive the winding and scary paved road down into the canyon (and back up in the dark)!

Most likely the greatest outdoor play in this multiple-state area! It was absolutely worth the visit! Whole family enjoyed it! Very well done! History of the Texas Panhandle is outstanding!! The local people did a great job beginning such a project! The fireworks were REALLY GOOD!

What a wonderful dinner and play. I havent been in years and the changes are refreshing. The background that has been added on the cliffs is amazing. The fires, lights, waterworks and the fireworks was an added treat. The music and the dancers and Characters, what wonderful jobs they did. My only complaint was the seating. You need to do away with section FarRight. For 18 dollars a ticket, you expect to see the play. In that section, you see nothing. Fortunately, we found other seats in the Right section where you can see most of the play. But thank you so much for the wonderful show. And thanks so, so much for honoring our vets.

The show has gone down hill in the last few years. Just 3 or so years ago it was pretty good. Itll be nicer when they get an upgrade.

You have to go if only to say you went. This took my breath away. Great actors, funny and beautiful. The fireworks display at the end was worth every single penny. Way to go Texas!

Someone had suggested we check the show out while on our trip to Amarillo. SO worth it! As a transplant to Texas, this show made me feel major pride for my newly adopted state. It was a beautiful, moving, and enjoyable experience for the whole family.

Loved it and will be going back!

First time at the show it was great

Absolute Hidden Gem! We thoroughly enjoyed the musical, and spending time at the park. Cannot wait to do this again!

SUPER, SUPER. OUT STANDING

So wonderful. This was my first time to see the show (it got rained out years ago when I went). I loved it! And the fireworks and light show were awesome. I love the scenery changes too.

I saw the show when I was a kid the third try and absolutely loved it. The first 2 were rained out and the actors could barely contain themselves while talking about the drought. Greatmemories!

Saw this over 15 years ago and loved it and at the age of 35 it seemed to have gotten that much better. Would recommend anyone go see this. It was amazing!!! Great acting and performance. Would go see 20 more times

This is a first-rate production that could go toe-to-toe (boot-to-boot?) with any other show out there. And they put it all on outdoors! How cool is that! Things to know: doors open about 8pm, show starts at 8:30pm. Has an intermission; show finishes about 10:45pm. Sun sets behind the hill before the show starts so you wont be in direct sunlight, but it can still be a bit steamy if the wind isnt blowing.

5 stars isnt enough, we absolutely enjoyed it, yes it was hot but it was so worth it, we will be going back in the near future. The cast and crew were fanominal the amount of talent that they have assembled is top notch.If you get a chance to see it DO NOT hesitate you will be beyond amazed.

One of the best (if not BEST) shows we have ever seen. Everything you would expect out of a play about texas early history and more...amazing light, water, and fireworks show all with the backdrop of the canyon. A definite to see if youre ever in the Amarillo area.

I’m sorry but this musical is just not as great as it was in the late 1990s. This was our fourth visit. We surly would go again but I think the main farmer character just not quite as good as past leading roles have been. Great fireworks at the end is a big plus.

Loved it. Starving college students put their heart into performance. A must see if ever close to Amarillo or going to the park. We drove from Dallas, & saw vehicles from Colorado.

It was a very neat experience for my family. We are Texan born and raised. I think they did a good job portraying the difficulties of settling this great land.

We really enjoyed this show. They dont allow you to take pictures, but the actors did a fantastic job and the singing and dancing was awesome. They had a dinner option that we didnt participate in, but they offered education and entertainment outside before the show so arrive plenty early. We loved how they used animals in the show. The story was fascinating and moved along at an entertaining pace. I didnt give it a full five stars because we made the mistake of buying front row seats thinking the kids would have a better view of the show, but it was actually worse as we ended up staring right at the base of the stage and couldnt see anything going on toward the middle and back of the stage without standing up which annoyed the people behind us. We also couldnt see the side stages very easily as they were essentially behind us. BUY THE CHEAP SEATS and sit back in the crowd a bit and you will be much happier with your experience. Another complaint was the size of the seat itself. They are unforgivingly teeny with metal sides that cut into my hips the entire time and left bruises on my thighs by the time the show was over. Someone else mentioned more space in a coach seat on an airplane and I would have to agree with them on that. All of those things aside, the show was still worth it and the finale was really breathtaking! The ending was worth the entire price of admission all by itself.

The musical was casually comedic and highly recommend for a family trip. The only thing is it got pretty cold and i wasnt so sure about the food. So maybe bring snacks if you arent comfortable eating BBQ that your own family or friends didnt make.

Worth seeing at least once. Updating the seating would be nice but I understand the difficulty of that

A great show. Changes a little every season, but so worth the trip. The actors even did act2 in the rain. Fire works, salute to our military, a great story and very talented actors makes this a must see if in Texas. Parking is free(you have to drive down into Palo Duro canyon). They have a BBQ dinner served outdoors available before the show. A fun time.

Just an amazing musical. 10/10 would recommend. Even through the pouring rain they put on an amazing (and perhaps a funnier) show.

It was awesome! The backdrop of the canyon walls is beautiful. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Really nice. The actors looked like they wanted to be there. You all should see the fireworks. Magnificent!

It was nothing like I imagined. Very well put together and beautiful story. I domt think any seat would be a bad seat in this place. The fireworks and miliyary dedication was awesome.

Such a refreshing a feeling

This play was absolutely amazing!!! Fantastic actors/actresses and singers! It was funny and interesting! Family of 8 and all of us LOVED it! I highly recommend. Family friendly and wheelchair accessible. Very patriotic too. The actors/actresses even was outside thanking everyone for coming. It was the best play Ive been to.

Nothing better than this musical. Nothing better than Palo Duro canyon. A MUST SEE. Ive been many times.

Loved it took 4 visiters from california they had a ball

It was fabulous to say the least! I loved how they showed honor to our great country and their state.The folks did a great job singing and dancing and the acting was top notch. I just cant say enough about how good it was. I sat in handicapped seating and had the ticket agent pick the seats and they really were the best seats in the house. It was plenty loud enough for me to hear.The conseccion stand did not break the bank to get a snack at intermission.Bathrooms were clean. Parking lot was well directed.I would go again if Im ever in town. I highly recommend it! Its well worth the money.

Wonderful singing, dancing and acting to tell the story of the Texas Panhandle and Palo Duro Canyon. Spectacular scenery as the show is performed outdoors with the canyon as the backdrop. Might be slow in parts for children but the finale with fireworks is exciting. Be ready for weather changes. The show went on as scheduled but there was a passing storm with hail that lasted over 30 minutes.

This is a must see. They go all out. A salute to the veterans and all who served. Fireworks. There is so much happening from The mountaintop to the stage to the side stages. Dont miss this one

The cast was phenomenal, the food not so much. This play has been put on for many years and the changes are intriguing.

Its been about 6yrs since my last visit to see Texas, and let me tell you it was amazing! If you get the opportunity to go see the play, go dont miss the chance!

The actors were awesome. The setting was great. Well worth a trip!

We used our Rain tickets from last year and this year was an entirely new play from what we saw partially last year. It was great!

One of the panhandles best things!!! I loved every minute- especially the ones that included our daughter who is in the chorus!

Wonderful performance so dont go if you expect to hear the Indian side of the story

Amazing show!!! The have been changes since i was in the show but it was still great!!! I will definitely be back again!

Very nice spectacle, must see for tourists.

Very good performance by younger generation. As a veteran, wonderful tribute to veterans at the end!

Fabulous production! Will see it again. A must see!

Amazing group of young people putting on a fun play

Really great show!Very fun effects and great use of the natural environment.

Must see! Amazing experience for all ages. No trip to the Texas panhandle is complete without this show and meal. Dont worry about the heat. Once the show starts, the cabin amphitheatre cools down nicely.Warning, spolier: Cover sensitive ears once the thunderstorm scene begins.

Fantastic show really well produced . Unbelievable authentic scenery.Great visual and foot stomping music and dancing ... Its a must see spectacular .

I hate musicals and I still loved it! Great performance. Every Texan should see this!

Beautifully executed musical history of Palo Duro Canyon, TX in the gorgeous canyon setting; ending with a patriotic finale highlighting our men and women in the armed forces! I highly reccomend it!

Love the play, players/staff. Must see. Great scenery

Beautiful place, Maybe Im just not into Theater...Not enough tricks and surprises for me.

We had so much fun. Family loved it

Heard about this wonderful show from a Canyon local so decided to stay an extra day in the area so we could see it (travelling thru as Australian tourists).After a massive thunderstorm early that evening with heavy rain, thunder and LIGHTENING right at show time we decided that of course the show would not go on as we were only an 8 minute drive away so didn’t even think about getting in the car and driving the very short drive to the amphitheater knowing it could not be held as it’s an open air venue/show and the weather forecast was even more rain....We did however look up their information and website to call to see what was happening with only a recorded message with no info at all about the weather.Also looked for any info regarding weather for the performances on either the tickets or their website and still no info at all.Emailed very nicely next day for a refund only to be flatly refused ANY type of refund or date exchange (almost laughing at the thought informing us that the show did happen and they missed seeing us there! ) the thunderstorm was not even mentioned and told us that we should have read the policy (so we searched again and NO policy on their website or ticket email)After another email from us saying we were disappointed in their response to our refund email and we could again find no policy we did not even get a 2nd reply so waited now 3 weeks before deciding to let others know of their extremely bad money making venture.Hence we would never recommend anyone to see their show and if you do don’t forget your rain coat, umbrella and life insurance!

Always love coming to Canyon and attending the Texas Outdoor Musical in Palo Duro Canyon. We come every year at least once and sometimes twice.

Must see! Talented new and seasoned performers with a very entertaining story about the resilient people who made the panhandle their home. The show includes a variety of types of singing, dancing, animals, fire works, water displays, and a tribute to our heroes in uniform. Great show for the money!

This production is a must see. Even if you dont like musicals. The amphitheater makes for a huge beautiful stage. The acting, singing and dancing is spectacular. The story will move you in a patriotic way. Dont miss this if you can make it to the Amarillo, Tx area.

Absolutely wonderful. No matter how many times weve gone its always great.

Pageantry and patriotic very good.

GREAT! Enjoy a great evening out with your family.

Had a great time, learned while enjoying the show

I loved it. The tribute to the veterans with a special touch.

Intresting. Actresses and actors were very talented.

It was a blast! Everyone did a great job and me and my family thoroughly enjoyed it!

Im not a big fan of musicals but this was really done well and about TEXAS! Well worth the watch!

First off, the play, actors, singers, show was fantastic - five stars. The seating was horrible. Ive had wider seats in coach on an airplane. I decided to spend extra and get in the front rows. Big mistake. They used the side stages making it difficult to see. And since we were wedged so tightly in the seats, we couldnt turn to see good. One star for the seating.

Loved it. I really loved the fireworks at the end.

An excellent tail about Texas history very enjoyable

Must see show! Palo duro is a beautiful place!!!

Awesome experience! Barbeque was very good and large serving size. The play was amazing. There was so much action and enthusiasm. The singing and dancing were energetic. The tribute to our veterans at the end of the play was so moving and well deserved. Thank you.

I loved it. Seats were quite snug.

Omg, it was amazing!!! Those kids are great!!! Thank you a great play....

Great show. Good for the whole family

Great show these people were awesome

Love this play in the beautiful Palo Duro Canyon

Its been years, but I soooo loved the musical!

Wow! What an outstanding show! We went on a recommendation and I am SO glad we purchased the Center Stage tickets! We enjoyed the dinner, but the show was amazing! The story, the music, dancing and the honoring of the military was just amazing! This is a MUST DO if you are in Palo Duro Canyon!

The best play that I have to ever!!

THIS IS A MUST SEE EVENT!!! BREATHTAKING!!!

I Loved it!!! It was the Best Western musical I have seen!!!

Beautiful and perfect place for this performance!

Awesome place and the show is one to see.

Fun musical. Hot in summer though.
