About Medora Musical

The Medora Musical is an outdoor western variety show at the Burning Hills Amphitheatre, which volunteers carved into a Badlands hillside in 1958 and which seats more than 2,800. The show opened in 1965 as "Teddy Roosevelt Rides Again" and tells the story of Medora, Theodore Roosevelt and the American West. The Burning Hills Singers and the Coal Diggers band perform live with guest variety acts and horses on stage, and the show ends with fireworks. The 2026 season ran June 3 to September 12, and the show returns in June 2027 (dates not yet announced). In 2026, adult tickets were $62.95 to $85.95, students 7 to 17 paid $25.95 to $45.95, and kids 6 and under got in free. Parking is free, and tickets are sold at medora.com or at 1-800-MEDORA-1.
