In 1990, the Star (then called the Ozarks Theater) became home to the famous Mel Tillis, who performed there for several years. In 1992, both Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard called the venue home. In 1993, it was taken over by Loretta Lynn for a time. Later that same year, it became home to the famous comedian Yakov Smirnoff, who performed there until 1997.
