We have seen it too many times to count throughout the year. His is one of the best variety show we have ever seen. His interaction with the audience is unbeatable.

You get that, his singing, music, comedy and fantastic dancing plus buckets and boards all in one night. His family and other members of the show just show the happiness and enjoyment of putting on a great performance.

Matt Gumm is just fantastic from where he is seating people as an older person who can hardly walk. He is so realistic my 10 year old Granddaughter thought someone should help him on the stage just before the show so he would not get hurt.

The relief on her face when Clay came on and he removed his mask started the show immediately on a fantastic note.

His son Colt is great as well as his wife Tina Clay who even checked us in at the ticket office.

This year he has my vote and I only wish I could vote for a couple others.

The show was great!

Full of energy & packed with fun for all.

He really relates to his audiences. Clay is a really down to earth guy. He is just plain real and seems to enjoy what he does and you can feel it. I've been there 3 times and will surely go back & would recommend it to anyone.

 In my opinion, the Clay Cooper Show is THE show to see in Branson.

This show has it all.....a talented cast, high energy, variety, a great group of dancers, great country music, something for all ages, a great comedian, and the 'star' of the show is one of the most people friendly entertainers in Branson.

Clay does his own 'preshow' and what a 'fun time' that is. Most of the preshow is unscripted, Clay talking with his audience, and he never knows what his fans are going to want to talk about or say to him!!! But Clay is so quick witted, I've yet to see him at a loss for words! So much 'good stuff' in this show, it's hard to list favorites, but some are: Clay does an awesome segment of Conway Twitty music' RP Harrell has an arrangement of the song "I Fell on my Knees and Cried Holy" that will bring tears to your eyes.

RP and Melody Hart are each awesome entertainers by themselves, but they do a duet that brings the house down. And the comedian, Matt Gumm, will have you laughing so hard your sides hurt. Presidential Jeopardy is a crowd favorite!

And don't forget the Country Express Cloggers. They exhibit so much energy, and their sparkling, black apparel just 'sets them off'. Clay has paid his due in Branson, coming to town when he was a teenager, working in various theaters, and now has his own theatre.

It's great to see success come to Clay and Tina Cooper, as they have put so much of themselves into their theatre and their show. Tina and Clay do some duets in the show as only a husband and wife can do and she choreographs all the dance numbers and does some solo dances herself.

We're season pass holders to the Clay Cooper Country Music Express show ---- best value we've found in Branson!

The move to the Osmond Theatre is a success. I had not seen Clay's show for years. He was then starting out in the "round" theatre. It was a pleasant surprise. The show was fun, entertaining, sing along music. Costumes and set very well coordinated.

I have recommended the show to visitors as I wait in line at Silver Dollar City and eating establishments as a "must see".

The show is "Vegas" ready!

Excellent Show!
Great entertainers with much enthusiasm, good dancing, and performers.

Music slightly too loud and if you are directly in front of speakers, it can slightly hurt your ears, so we covered them. The seats in the triangular rows vary in width the closer to the front you are. Many people had difficulty standing due to narrow seats. Clay and wife are top notch performers.

Clay is very, very friendly.

You will have a good experience at this show.

Awesome show from start to finish. The singers, dancers, comedian, and band were all extremely talented and made you enjoy yourself because you could tell they were having a good time. While this show may not be as well known as the majority of the shows in Branson, it is one of the top shows in town and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys good country music, comedy, and gospel. The performers don't just sing the songs, they do impersonations on the majority of the songs; entertainers like Willie Nelson, Brooks & Dunn, Johnny Cash, and Tammy Wynette, just to name a few. If you like country music, you will love this show.

Clay cooper show is definitely a must see show.  We have to see them every time we go to Branson. We tell people around us that they will enjoy this show.  Just the other night we had told a couple to try the clay cooper that they will really enjoy it and after the show he came over and patted my hubby on the shoulder and said that he was right it was an excellent show to see.  Clay’s son is great in doing Elvis and he is 6 years old and does a great job, the dancers and the comedian wow.

There are other shows to see in your visit in Branson, but clay cooper is a must see.  Next year he will be in a new theatre. Flat parking. That will be great too.

I am sure that once you see his show you will make it a show that you will want to see each time you go down to Branson.  All I can say is enjoy.

The Clay Cooper Country Music Express Show is the best Show in Branson. At the very beginning of the show it was so exciting, he keeps you on the edge of your seat. Clay Cooper is so talented, in so many ways. Not only his singing ability (his deep voice) , he also does comedy skits which was great.

His family is in his show, his wife dances beautifully, and sings also .His son was in the show he was precious. There is something for everyone. The little ones will love Johnny Longstar who does trick roping.

Clay Cooper has a genuine love for his (GOD) , COUNTRY, AND THE VETERANS. There is so many things I could say about this show. Anyone going to Branson this is a must see show. You will recommend it to everyone you see.

Clay Cooper's Country Music Express gives you the most for your entertainment dollar in Branson. Clay has some of the most talented entertainers to be found in Branson. Clay is a very personable guy and his interaction with his audience is the best. Matt Gumm is one of, if not the best, most talented comedian in town! Clay makes changes to his show throughout the year, so for repeat visitors like us, there is always something new and different to see. The main format of the Clay Cooper Show is country music, but many folks who are not big country fans come away from the Clay Cooper Show saying it truly was one of the best shows they've seen in Branson. Top notch dancing, great music, hilarious comedy, you see it all at the Country Music Express.

I believe this is the greatest new duo that is so very talented and artistic that I have seen in a long time. They are audience friendly and in several shows have used the little ones in the audience to perform also. They have rhythm, vocal ability, versatility, comedy, seriousness and a very good routine. They can really beat those buckets and whatever is in sight. They have great voices to sing singularly or duets. They keep you laughing and we all know that laughter has healing powers.

They can sure heal your soul. They are just a pair of hard working, talented, young men alone and/or together. Love them !!

The Clay Cooper Show is a must-see in Branson. Clay interacts with the audience, even treats one couple to popcorn and a drink, for having some fun with him. The country music on the show is some of the best you will see in Branson. The show has six dancers who are tops in their field. The show is geared for the entire family. No worry about suggestive material in this show. In addition to the great country music and the artistic dancing, there is good, clean comedy that is sure to make you laugh. Clay's musicians are very talented performers and each shines at what he, or she, does.

The entire show will make you glad that you picked this show to see out of all the other good shows in the area. Clay comes across as a performer who enjoys what he does and wants the audience to enjoy the show. No headliner with an ego-trip here-just a great performer doing what he does best--and what he does best in superb.

We enjoyed it from the first downbeat to the end, leaving everyone in the audience wanting more!

With his smooth country voice, Clay sings traditional country songs, which are crowd pleasers. Jenna Crispin 13 yr old sings and yodels. This summer his Daughter Cassidy, will join in for a few songs, not to forget his 2 1/2 yr old Son, Colt, who is a show stealer! Tina Cooper also sings & choreographs the dances.

R.P. Harrell formerly with Country Tonight lends his piano expertise, not to forget his awesome voice.

A high energy, fast paced two hours well spent & worth the price of your admission.

Good Country Music, Gospel Songs and a Tribute to our Armed Forces & Veterans. One can't ask for more in this show!

There's something for everyone in his 10:00 A.M. Show at the Carville Theater, next to Jim Stafford's Theater.

You'll leave feeling good and wanting to recommend this show to all your friends & family.
