Branson Shuffle- Ready for 2015?
« on: December 08, 2014, 03:24:51 PM »
Well another year has passed and shows are starting to announce relocation sites.. The annual "Branson Shuffle" ::)

What have your heard?? ???

The Fair Family,                    leaving Hamner Theatre,                   Moving to The Americana
The Redneck Tenors,             leaving Andy Williams?                      Moving to Lodge of the Ozarks

Rumors that The Rankin Brothers are going to The Americana along with "Hits of the 60's"..   Not verified yet. :)

I read where Jim Stafford is coming back to Branson this year.  He will be doing shows in his old theatre.

Rankin Brothers are moving to the Branson Star Theater by Olive Garden. It is the same theater complex as Doug Gabriel (there are 2 theaters).

The White House Theater looks to finally have scored a decent show.  The Little Mermaid looks like a full Broadway-style show, and the actress in the title role actually played the role on Broadway.  While $45/adult is steep for my family, the matinee, at half-price, might be an alternative.

Hmm... I'll wait for reviews before I decide, but it might be something that I might want to check out being a band director

It has to be better than Marco Polo.  The video on the website looks very good.

Yeah, it's also video of the OFFICIAL Broadway show.  So not an accurate representation of the show in Branson

The Rankin Brothers have closed their show and cancelled the rest of this year shows.  Poor attendance, low cash flow was cited as this year problem...

too bad, heard good reviews about this show.
