Peter Pan
June 2, 2009
When Peter Pan flew through the window of the Darling children’s bedroom in the opening scene, the audience reacted with thunderous applause. A theater filled with adults and children instantly turned into a theater filled with kids at heart.
From that moment until Peter Pan flew over the audience in the final encore, kid-dom reigned. The production is creative, smooth, and filled with a delicious sense of humor.
“I get to be a kid for two hours every performance,” said Cathy Rigby, star of the show. Peter Pan will run a six-day a week performance schedule through June and July and the first week in August. It returns in November and early December with the final performance on December 12.

Mary Duff – Voice Of An Angel
May 25, 2009
Yes, “Voice of An Angel” is a perfect description of Mary Duff!! It is actually the title of Mary’s newest spiritual album and a definite truth!! What an amazing voice and talent!
Irish comedian, George Casey, opened the show and had everyone laughing and in good humor with his clean, comedic Irish storytelling.
Mary, who comes from Ireland, has been singing since she was 12 years old. She’ll tell you she is doing what she always wanted – singing for an audience. She loves ballads and love songs but mixes in a few country standards and gives you a taste of her newest album selections as well. Some will make you smile while others may bring a sweet memory to mind or even a tear to your eye.

The Haygoods at The New Americana Theatre
April 20, 2009
The Haygoods blend a new setting and sound with their well-known talent, energy, and enthusiasm for entertainment. There are a couple of surprises this year.
The new theater suits them well. From the remodeled lobby to the enhanced stage and sound, they have created a whole experience for their fans.
Dominic, Shawn, Michael, Patrick, and Timothy continue to grow in their musical ability. As usual, the audience loves them. The surprises this year are in Matthew, Catherine, and Aaron.
Matthew has come into his own. He looks great and is having a good time on stage. He joins his older brothers in giving the audience a top-notch performance. Catherine and Aaron are growing up. This year’s production recognizes their maturity and presents all the family as young adult entertainers. Catherine’s ever expanding ability to play multiple instruments is showcased throughout the show. Whether it’s the sax, violin or harp, she plays well. Aaron continues his growth as an entertainer – with apparent ease.
They touch on many styles of music. Whether you are in to pop, country, rock, nostalgia, show tunes, or Gospel, there is plenty in this show to get your blood pumping.

COME TOGETHER with the Liverpool Legends
April 10, 2009
COME TOGETHER….and join the party at the Starlite Theatre with the Liverpool Legends!!
“One and one and one is three,” as the song goes……..now, add one more because a brand new fourth has very recently been added to the Liverpool Legends! His name is Bob Beahon, and he is their “new Paul!” Welcome to Branson, Bob!
I was more than a little bit anxious to see whom it was Louise Harrison picked to fill Paul’s space onstage. Great job, Louise – I was pleasantly surprised. I think you all will be, too!
The guys have stepped up the list of songs and every song I heard was a favorite of mine – the very first time this has really happened. The first song, “I Wanna Hold Your Hand,” started the show.

RANKIN BROTHERS - Classic Music Revue
March 27, 2009
The Starlite Theatre
The 2009 Rankin Brothers - Classic Music Revue made its debut on 16 March to a packed house in their beautiful new venue, the Starlite Theatre right on the Hwy 76 strip. Expectations were high; after all they were awarded Best Duo Act, Best Male Entertainer and Best New Show of 2008. Would they keep the 2008 show intact? Would they dare venture away from proven success to incorporate new material into the show?
Some of the favorites from 2008 have been retained; e.g., the Righteous Brothers 1965 hit, “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’,” the Tokens’, “The Lion Sleeps Tonight,” Chuck Berry’s, “Johnny B. Goode,” etc. What makes their show such a big hit is that they perform songs the way the original artists performed them. Going all the way back to the ‘50’s, the Rankin Brothers bring back memories and emotions as they recreate the authentic sounds of the times.
