Discover the heart and soul of Sha-Kon-O-Hey!—Land of Blue Smoke!—a show as big as the Great Smoky Mountains!   

Sha-Kon-O-Hey! captures the spirit of the Smoky Mountains and the rich heritage of the people who call them home.  This 45-minute show premieres on May 9, 2009, in DP’s Celebrity Theatre and incorporates scenic elements and stage effects never before seen at Dollywood.  Sha-Kon-O-Hey! takes audiences back to a time of great change in the Smoky Mountains in 1930s.  In a musical journey guided by eight new songs written by Dolly, a wizened storyteller guides a reluctant family as they bid farewell to the area that eventually becomes Great Smoky Mountains National Park . . . yet remains a place that lives forever in their hearts.  Along the way, audiences meet the folks who inhabited this great land—the settlers, the rail and lumbermen, the Native Americans and the shiners.  Come along as Dollywood pays tribute to the 75th anniversary of Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

2009 Season Dates:  May 9 - October 31
