"A Salute to Hee Haw" Show

[Junior]

The Branson Star Theater, 3750 Hwy 76, Branson, will present "A Salute to Hee Haw" Show this year. The shows begin in April, and run through December. An ad I ran across on the Internet says "Join us for a salute to Hee Haw!This new Branson show features your favorite Hee Haw skits with a new cast and some returning Hee Haw cast members. Also experience the surprise second half as the new cast presents their version of the new Hee Haw Yee HawCelebration!" Anyone know anything more about this? First I heard of it. Who are the returning old cast members? Is this in any way tied to my beloved "Hee Haw Theater" that operated in Branson from 1981-1983?  I'm very curious about this show. Anything anyone knows and can share here is much appreciated.

Not sure, but the Branson Star Theatre is the old Yakov Theatre down by Celebration City behind Olive Garden

I heard from Terry Sanders, who, as you know, was a cast member of the old TV show in 1990. He said he was going to try to fit this show into his schedule this year. The TV production company that owns the Hee Haw TV Show rights granted permission for this tribute show in Branson. It will feature the tribute in the first half, and more contemporary entertainment in the second half. I'm going to have to fit this show into my schedule this year. I'm very curious about it. Terry tells me some of the better known cast members from the old TV show may appear at the venue from time to time. Terry also says some of this show may be taped for sale to TV stations. We will see what will happen. If anyone hears anything else, please post or contact me via private email. Thanks, all!

Visited Branson for a quick trip Friday/Saturday. The Hee Haw TV Show Tribute Show has started. Go to the Flickr site to see the front and back of the brochure that is currently in the tourist racks around town. Did not have a chance to see the show this trip. Maybe next time.  http://www.flickr.com/photos/juniordugan

Just in case you have not checked this out here is a reminder. I started a Hee Haw Theater Facebook page last December. Go to Facebook and type "Hee Haw Theater" in your search, it should pop right up. Hope you like it.

Had reps from the theater come in to the lobby. It is called "Yee Haw" due to the rights deal, I have not seen yet....But when my schedule changes in the next month or so, that is one I want to see for sure. I loved the Hee Haw years back here, so hope it has "simularity"

If anyone has a chance to see this show, please post a report on it here. I'd like to find out more about it.

From what I can tell from visiting 1branson.com, this show was a bust. Don't know if it is still in operation. Anybody ever see it, and if so, how was it?
