What does GTS Stand For?

What does GTS Stand For?  GATSBY

We say we are semi-retired as we quit show business. We are the Wild 4 Hypnosis Comedy Show. Yes, that’s us Rich and Elizabeth Wylde! At one time, we were quite famous. We were the hypnotists for the Jerry Springer show and also owned the largest comedy club in the Midwest entertaining 400 people nightly from around the world with our hypnosis show and headlining comedians opening the show for us.

In 2001, Rich and Elizabeth traveled to Myrtle Beach and said this is the place we want to retire.  While visiting MB.  We met one of our lead singers Chris Hennigan who was working at the Fudgery.  He sang “My Girl” to Elizabeth and she said to him if I ever bring my Motown Show down here, I want you to be a part of it.  He gave Elizabeth his business card.  After retiring to Myrtle Beach in 2012, Elizabeth’s parents moved here in 2014, her mother did something none of us expected and passed away a little over a year later (July 2015). Her last words to Elizabeth were “live your dream before it’s too late! I loved seeing you produce shows.” Two weeks after her passing we signed the lease on a small place and opened a small intimate theatre in Myrtle Beach – GTS Theatre.

Elizabeth produced her first Motown Tribute show in 1988 for Great Lakes Naval Base.  The commanding officer came to her with a request to celebrate the Golden 13 (first 13 African American Naval Officers commissioned at Great Lakes Naval Base.  He wanted Motown on stage at the theatre.  Elizabeth reached out to Motown, and no one was able to perform pro bono.  She went back to the commanding officer and told him she had failed.  He said I don’t care what you do but Motown needs to be on stage that night.  She then went back and did auditions with navy personnel of enlisted and officers and the Original Motown Show was Born.  Elizabeth loved the opportunity at the ripe old age of 19. (She has been on stage since she was 3 years old – dancing – tap, ballet and jazz and hypnosis). Therefore, after her mother’s death request, the Original Motown Tribute Show was reborn in 2016 in Myrtle Beach. The first person she reached out to was Chris.  He wasn’t able to join the show at that time however, in 2020, Chris was able to join the cast and is now a permanent member of the show.

Elizabeth’s great grandfather was a huge jazz musician in the 20’s.  Her father’s cousins sang backup for Perry Como (The Fontaine Sisters.)  Her mother’s cousin costarred in Jailhouse Rock with Elvis Presley (Judy Tyler).  Her father’s cousin played saxophone & clarinet and toured with Xavier Cugat’s orchestra.  Xavier Cugat’s brother Francis, was an artist and painted the cover art for the Great Gatsby.  (This is where “GTS” comes from – Gatsby shortened and Elizabeth’s favorite book). Let’s Just Say:  Entertainment is in her blood.

Most nights, you will see Elizabeth’s father John aka Grandpa managing the snack bar.  Elizabeth checks you in and manages the theatre operations and the Original Motown Show, Rich manages the sound and lighting and overall business.

Join our family for a great night of entertainment!
