We arrived to Sight and Sound an hour and 10 minutes early which was crazy to us!! but we did all…read moreof our shopping beforehand and knew we wanted to be a minimum of 30 minutes early.... let me say, I am SO HAPPY we went inside an hour before. We got close parking to the building and near the exit. When you enter; we went to the right side of the building. Once we got there, we took a picture in front of the building. Inside, we weren't rushed to go to the bathroom & get some concessions. We sat in the upper deck in the middle. Specifically, row KK seats 53 & 54. I've been to Sight and Sound 2 other times and sat in the lower seats... I think I would prefer to sit lower.... Up top, we could see everyone's phones on, people having to stand up and leave- which I know is so picky of me but I would pay the extra money to sit lower. I will say, a perk of sitting up top is the bathrooms and exit way to the lobby that is quicker to exit & way less crowded! The only thing is concessions aren't served upstairs (I think, not for sure on this) We saw David! My theological nerd of a husband had some beef with wanting more exposition especially with Solomon and the temple but I thought it was great use of the limited time they have! They walked us through his young boy years, Samuel anointing him, his relationship with Saul & Jonathan, hiding in the cave, becoming king, Bathsheba, and ended with his confrontation with Nathan and a redemption song. The emphasis was on David wanting to know God's heart and be known by God intimately. Really spoke to me personally in this season. I do think seeing Jesus was my favorite because it's the gospels. My husband says his favorite is Esther. But honestly, anything you see will be good. The ushers are amazing! They were keeping an eye out on anyone who needed anything-even working in the pitch dark to escort parents or children out. They have quiet rooms for families in the back & good seating for those in wheelchairs or anything else. At the end of the show, they have cast members and S&S staff available to pray with anyone who needs anything & they do an altar call for salvation, which is EPIC! They give space for people to encounter God and be walked through prayer.

CJ Newsom, headlining the "Patsy Cline and Friends" production, delivered a truly awesome,…read moremust-see performance. It was magical listening to her revive the golden voice of Patsy Cline. You could close your eyes and easily be convinced that it was Patsy Cline, herself, singing on stage. CJ's medley of songs fostered such wonderful memories of one of the most beautiful voices of all time. Her three piece back-up band were highly renowned musicians that added another level of quality entertainment. CJ wowed the audience with several stunning outfits in between her songs. She also shared many stories and insights about Patsy's life that gave us a deeper understanding of this special singer. Additionally, CJ gave a wonderful tribute to our military veterans and to our wonderful country. It was a very touching tribute that was heartfelt and very appreciated by all in attendance. The only downside to the program was having it come to an end. "Patsy Cline and Friends" at the Americana Theater in Branson, MO, is a must-see, five-star experience. If you're ever in Branson or in the surrounding area, be sure to treat yourself to this truly, exceptional Patsy Cline performance.

Well some of the performers had good rhythm and voices, overall it was very disappointing. On the hole the choreography was not good and it seemed some of the singers didn't know the songs fully and weren't trained singers at that. We ended up leaving the intermission because we were so disappointed. I would've gave it more stars had the tickets not been close to 50 bucks. But this was worth $15 ahead tops.

Overall, we had a wonderful time at Dollywood's Stampede and would definitely recommend it. A great show for adults, with plenty of entertainment for kids too!

Shanghai Circus, at the Mickey Gilley Theatre. Branson, MO. Sept, 2026…read more My husband and I got VIP tickets (front row, center) for this performance, and we were both mesmerized by every single one of the many performances in the Grand Shanghai Circus. This fast-paced show featured Acrobatics and Balance (chair balancing, rolling cylinders, ...), Aerial and Strength feats (Chinese pole, duo silk aerials), Juggling and Object Manipulation (balls, jugs, and umbrellas), traditional Chinese mask-changing, hoop diving, tumbling, and more. This is a professional show with a very talented and engaging cast (I counted 12 performers), a beautiful series of stage backdrops, well-synced Chinese music, and dramatic lighting. The show is offered every day of the week. It runs about two hours, with a 15-minute intermission. Parking is free and plentiful. I would recommend it for adults and children; it's family-friendly. Tickets are currently $50 for VIP seating, $48 for all other seats, but there are bargains to be found on Groupon. Staff are the theater were friendly, and there are concessions as well as a gift shop. The only minor thing to say about the experience was that the seats became a bit uncomfortable after sitting in them for 2 hours.

When we entered it looked promising and after a discount it was right at $160 for our family. We also did the Fly-Ride on our ticket. The Fly-Ride to start was okay. It was fun moving around and feeling some water and being emerged in the experience. However, the graphics were awful. The video was blurry. Afterwards we went into the exhibit and a lot of it was run down. Shattered screens or out of order on some things. The area for selfies was a bit confusing. There would be games and then a random exhibit on Reagan or Big Foot. It was all awkward and did not flow together like one would expect. We didn't spend as much time here as we thought we would. To be honest my teenager was waiting for us on a bench at the end. It was not worth the price of admission.

If shows are your scene, then this venue has a lot of discount and season pass programs. If you lived close enough to take advantage of it then it's a good deal. There's drinks and snacks for purchase but you'll have to deal with the challenging situation of wrangling kids and no cup holders. They have boosters for kids which is good because the gradient of seats is very gradual. I'm an adult and couldn't see a thing over the person in front of me, I missed several parts of the show, so it didn't feel worth the purchase. We watched the pet show. We spent around $200 for a family of six. Couldn't leverage the family pass with mom as a third adult. The first 25 minutes was inviting the audience to tell jokes and going over show rules. I could do without the host's political, gender diversity, pet death and mental health and cognitive jokes in a show meant for kids but I'm not a Midwest native so this might be area normal? It was cringy. I would have picked a different show if I knew ahead with two neuro diverse children. When the pet handler, Valari, conducted the cat and dog show it was very entertaining and he did a good job. The first part lasted eight minutes and later a three minute costume and country themed pet segment, interspersed with the host. Then intermission. I will say thank you for merchandising on stage. I have been to shows where staff walk around and literally put toys in your kids face before you agreed to purchase them creating a frustrating situation. So thanks for not doing that! There was a parrot fly by with beautiful macaws for 1.5 minutes and a husky dog segment for 3.5 minutes. There was a pretty funny parody song of Home with lyrics about car trips and family life. There was fun final cat show for about 7 minutes. It's a good show for little kids albeit a bit long for them to sit. Wouldn't want less of the 25 minutes of pet show in an hour and a half time slot but there are other opportunities to cut back some time.

Legends in Concert [Covid-19 Edition]…read more We saw Legends In Concert perform in this venue. The lobby is a nice size that included a snack bar to the left (popcorn, drinks, etc). A little further down to the right is the box office and just adjacent is a gift shop. Also at the lobby are life-size statues of The Blues Brothers and Marilyn Monroe... during Covid times you will see them wearing their masks on. The lobby is clean! Inside, the theater is huge, almost to the likes of some of the entertainment venues in Las Vegas. We were directed to our seats by the theater usher, all contactless. The seats were soft and comfortable. The spacing was good, at least for us. We were lucky to have good seats, we had a great view of the stage. Since we are in pandemic times the seats were assigned following social distancing guidelines. The rows in front and behind us were all blocked and there were 8 empty seats per each party of guests on each sides. The seating were staggered so there were no heads blocking our views. It was great! The huge parking lot can accommodate lots of cars. Look for The Blues Brothers' Bluesmobile, a replica of the 1974 Dodge Monaco sedan is sitting right outside of the theater.
