12 Irish Tenors
Branson Variety Theater
The 12 Irish Tenors was a magnificent show. From the start, with traditional Irish folk songs, the theater was filled with wonderful harmonies and glorious solos. Individually the Tenors are quite talented, put them together and the vocals soar and leave a person feeling awed and wanting more.
Favorites include: O Solo Mio, Oh Danny Boy, We are the Champions, and I Believe. Nessun Dorma was also a standout number; the Tenors truly do justice to this beautiful classical number and left me feeling stunned and filled with joy.
Choreography was simple, yet fit the show perfectly. The background, lighting, light shows, and sound management are professional and visually stunning.
Finally, I have seen about 10 different shows in Branson. The 12 Irish Tenors stands out as best because of the variety of songs, beautiful presentation, and best of all, the wonderful vocal solos and harmonies which left me with a sense of fulfillment?.
I will definitely return for an encore performance!

The Twelve Irish Tenors
Branson Variety Theater
There were four adults in our party and we attended four shows during our stay in Branson. Unanimously, we thought that The Twelve Irish Tenors was by far the best show that we saw while we were there. The men are so talented, personal, professional and entertaining. We enjoyed hearing from each of them individually ... where they were born, their family, their training and experience. They all seemed so genuine and sincere. We plan on going back to Branson next summer with our children and grandchildren and would love to see The Twelve Irish Tenors show again with them. Try them ... you won't be disappointed.
I am voting for Jay McManus of the Twelve Irish Tenors as the best male vocal (not a headliner). His rendition of Hey Jude was awesome. In addition to his singing, he draws your attention because he has so much energy. You can see the music come through his body in his movements and it is apparent that he loves what he is doing. All of the performers in the show are very talented, but Jay stands out even though he sings backup in most of the shows numbers. I saw this show twice in 2009 and I am hoping that when I go back next year they will be videotaping the show live as several other shows in town do.

Wow! I did NOT want to see this show -- I begrudgingly got tickets because my mother wanted to see it. It knocked me off my feet -- I could have easily gone a second time. These are tremendously talented young men and they are joyful throughout the entire show. They seem to truly love what they do. Not only are their voices incredible, but so is their showmanship. They perform all kinds of music, from opera to rock. They stay afterward for pictures and autographs. The top highlight of Branson -- a must see for all but the youngest of children. I saw 10 shows, and this one was the best.

I was in town for July 4th 2007 and went and saw some shows including my favorite Broadway/Spirit Of The Dance. When I picked up tickets, I was told that the Twelve Irish Tenors started tomorrow (July 5th). At that time, I was not sure of I was going to stay overnight in Branson or drive home. After it got rainy, I decided to stay over and go and see the Twelve Irish Tenors for their premiere show at 10:00am today (July 5).
I was not really sure what to expect. I was thinking a lot of opera with a little other music thrown in. I WAS WRONG. For the entire 2 hour show, there were only 2 opera songs and 1/2 of that was an Elvis song. BOTH of the opera numbers were done as good as I have EVER heard by any opera singer including Pavarotti. I enjoy opera if performed well and this wasn't well, it was great.
As I said there were only 2 songs out of the 2 hours, the rest of the songs were a mixture of ALL types of music. From Elvis, swing, Irish folk music, rock, and Broadway show tunes. The harmonies were wonderful. It made the music so smooth, it made you fell mellow and relaxed BUT the performers were putting so much energy into the performance that you could NOT get sleepy.
The guys just don't sing they also dance. There was one guy that was wonderful with his Irish dancing. But each number is choreographed so there are not a bunch of guys on the stage but they are moving, interacting with each other and more importantly: They seem to be having a good time. I know they do it daily but these guys act like it is a bunch of guys having a great time, not working hard to give a great performance.
I was wondering if 12 guys on stage singing would get boring after 2 hours but NO, the guys are putting so much energy and fun into the songs, dancing, and production that it not only keeps you energized but it raises your spirit. I saw it at 10:00am and I am not a morning person and it not only got me going, it put a smile on my face and helped me have a great day.
Being their first show, the singer that was the spokesman kept calling Branson, “RENO”. It turns out they just came from an engagement in Reno NV that ran for over 100 shows. I can understand it is hard to change the mind set. I also liked the fact that they introduced each singer before the show. I have always wished that Broadway and Spirit Of The Dance would introduce the dancers since they work so hard for the shows but they do not. I liked it that this show introduced each singer and each singer told their history.
I really enjoyed the show. I have been back many times. Some of the tenors have changed and they have changed some of the songs over the last year. This has just seemed to improve the show. If you like wonderful songs, with fantastic voices, singing in perfect harmony, please go see the show. They are playing at the Branson Variety Theater.
