Show(s) feedback?

I%26#39;m taking my mother to Branson to celebrate her 85th Birthday. We will be accompanied by her sister. We will be there two nights. I have already booked the Branson Belle and am looking for recommendations on which show to take them to.

Advertisements practically gives all shows 5 stars?! I know that cannot be accurate.

Any Personal favorites? Disappointments? Shoji? Stafford?, Etc.

Thanks in advance.

Show(s) feedback?

Hello!! These are just a few we really enjoy ourselves. Presley%26#39;s, Clay Cooper, John Tweed, Joe Riley, Mickey Gilley, Penny Gilley at RFD Theater.

Hughes Brothers, Haygoods. Also at the Little Oprey Theatre---Leroy News show is good too.

Enjoy your time there. There is so much to do.

We love our yearly visit to Branson.

Show(s) feedback?

Based on what we’ve seen and what our guest’s have said most of the people in that age bracket enjoy:

Ricky Boen %26amp; the Texas Mud (Texas Swing)

Roy Rogers Junior (same music as his Roy %26amp; Dale)

also she may enjoy the Roy %26amp; Dale’s Museum.

Presley’s (variety music and comedy)

Dutton’s (variety music and comedy)

Grand Jubilee (variety music and comedy)

50’s at the Hop (50’s)

Red Kneckers (one man show, comedy, gospel)

The Branson Belle is a good choice.

I spoke to a man that attended preview of a brand new 2009 show, Cassandre, the Voice of an Angel. He said it was very good. I%26#39;ve not seen this show but I%26#39;ve seen her perform many times and she is good. I%26#39;ve also read a couple very positive reviews on it. She is the wife of one of the Haygood’s listed above. I believe it may also be a good option.

BTW, the Haygood’s are very, very good but they may be “too loud” for an 85 yo. Also, depending on who you are sitting by, sometimes the young fans are very vocal.


All of the music shows seem the same to me. I personally like the Dixie Stampede. It is always fun and entertaining. Hope that helps!


Of the shows you listed, I would definitely give a %26#39;thumbs down%26#39; to Stafford......We%26#39;ve seen it a couple of times and don%26#39;t feel the value is there for the $$. Strongly recommend the Roy Rogers theater, very small, intimate theater and Roy does a great job talking about life in the Rogers%26#39; household! Shoji will probably be the biggest %26#39;production%26#39; type show you%26#39;ll see in Branson, wide variety of music, lights and costumes. Noah also gets great reviews, but I%26#39;ve never seen it. For country music, we love Clay Cooper. His interaction with his audience is great. Great music, hilarious comedy, and entertaining dancers, a little bit of everything on his stage! Enjoy your trip to Branson!


Hi!

We took my Mom and Dad to Branson 2 years ago at age 85%26amp;87. It was in December so not all shows were available. Of the ones we did

Shoji-they liked this a lot

Andy Williams-they like him ';their style'; and they recognized the songs

Dixie Stampede- They were not thrilled about eating the meal with their hands- also, at that age, hard to pick meat off the half chicken- also announcers talked very fast - sometimes the more seasoned adults need it a little slower. It was quite a mish mash of entertainment to them

Celebrate America- they LOVED this- went through history and by that age they have lived through quite a bit of it. We loved it too.( and this is a less expensive show)

I hope this helps.If you book ahead through reservebranson.com, do it as soon as you decide- you will get closer center seats by booking earier,and that helps with seeing and hearing impaired , and you can cancel or change show up to a short time before

Have a great time- we went to take my parents and have been back twice since then ourselves from Pennsylvania!
