Explore Arts and Entertainment in Branson
With more than 50 live performance venues, 100 shows and more theater seats than Broadway, it’s no wonder why Branson, Mo., is the “Live Music Show Capital of the World.” Even the most dedicated visitors will have a tough time fitting all the live shows into just one vacation. Whether you’re looking to see living legends perform at their own Branson theaters, family musicals, dancers or even a show of acrobatics, Branson will surely have whatever you’re looking for.
Families traveling with small children should be sure to see the Twelve Irish Tenors, the New Shanghai Circus or productions of biblical proportions at the newest and largest theater in Branson, the Sight and Sound Theatre. For nostalgic travelers, be sure to catch a performance at the Andy Williams Moon River Theatre or Dick Clark’s American Bandstand Theater, or check out the ultimate Beatles tribute band: the Liverpool Legends.
Other local favorites include Russian comedian Yakov Smirnoff’s show or the country-fried jubilee responsible for starting it all, The Baldknobbers, which has been running in Branson for 50 years. Looking for dinner and a performance? Branson has several options including the popular Dolly Parton’s Dixie Stampede and Dinner Theater and the Showboat Branson Belle.
