Wow, what a show. I saw it last year and it has
changed drastically, for the better. Start to finish was fast
paced and full of fun and fabulous music.
The first half had a lot of their old favorites, a bit or country
and bit of oldies and a little rock and roll. Then came the
show tunes and action. The brothers have the best harmony in
town and it shows throughout the show.
The kids are not just a bunch of kids running around on stage,
they are all talented in their own right. The drummer, Jacob,
is outstanding. The three older kids make the violins sing like
no one in town... better than Shoji for sure.
The costumes that go with each and every song are perfect.
Aaron sang a solo that made me want to stand and cheer. The
olio were all of the kids are on stage trying to save the "damsel
in distress" is brilliant.
"Sit Down You're Rocking the Boat" and the number
where they sit and do rhythm and hand jive on themselves, each
other and their tambourine hats made me want to see it again
and again!!

We had the opportunity to take our family reunion
group to the Hughes Brother's Show last Friday, over 20 people
attended, ranging in ages from 2 to 79.
From the first call to inquire about tickets to following the
show the people we dealt with were fantastic. Our group sat
in center aisle in row 7 and 8. They even acknowledged our family
at the beginning of the show.
The theater was very comfortable and a great way to escape
the hot temperatures outside. The show was a great value that
kept our group engaged for over two hours.
I would recommend the Hughes Brothers to all groups. They are
such a talented family

Great entertainment!
The show kept us engaged from the warm up through final curtain.
This is a must see for anyone coming to Branson.

The 5 brothers are not only fine vocalists but
bring along wives and children.
The show includes colorful lights, costumes and instrumental
background. The kids carry their own weight with singing in
parts, dancing and violin solos. Even the small children take
part in singing and dancing. It is truly a whole family participation
show with family members doing the lights, sound and management.
Refreshing to see family members working together and putting
on an EXCELLENT show!

It was a GREAT show.
My husband & I thoroughly enjoyed it. We would go to see
it again if we go to Branson. The brothers were so personable
& talked with us at length after the show.
It was great to see so large a family entertaining us.

Very entertaining!
Of course, we loved seeing all of the family and seeing them
entertain.
(We) bought 3 CD's and really enjoyed the Western one.

This is the second time we have had the pleasure
of being at the Hughes Brothers show and every minute was thoroughly
enjoyable.
They connect well with the audience, the music is very upbeat
and fun with lots of variety and an added element is to watch
them perform with their wives and children - they are truly
a tremendously gifted family.
I will go back to see their show every time I'm in Branson!!

Looking for a show that gets you into the "Spirit
of Christmas?" The Hughes Brothers' Christmas show provides
everything one might be looking for to brighten the Holiday
Season. With a cast of family members that are not only gifted
and dedicated to a great production, but are genuinely having
fun while doing what they love to do best...entertain. It truly
is the biggest "family show" of the world!
The love and closeness of the Hughes Brothers extends to the
audience as they draw you in and make you feel "part of
the family." Sharing a bit of their family "roots"
from their "Swedish" mother to their adopted "Russian"
siblings.
Marty, Jason, Adam, Andy and Ryan have amazing harmony but
that is just the beginning. They each have very talented wives
that can sing and dance like Angels as well. One can only wonder
what it takes to but on a production of this magnitude with
over 2 dozen children between them, each casted in specific
roles. We couldn't help but feel the tug on our hearts with
choice musical numbers that have everything that Christmas represents
from the history of Santa Claus to the Christ child. Their show
actually stays true to the "TRUE" meaning of Christmas
as they bring hope and joy to all who attend their shows. We
left Branson feeling ready to celebrate Christmas and it was
only November!
We are looking forward to bringing many more family members
to see this wonderful show, both this year and the years to
come...

The Hughes Brothers were great. It's a very family
oriented show for everyone of every age to got and see!!
The children are very talented in voice, playing instruments,
and singing, just everything. The Hughes Brothers themselves
were very entertaining, from the opening jokester to the solemn
salute to our veterans of war. Their wives were also very good
at dancing and singing!!!
This was my first trip to Branson, and to a show of this quality
and perfection. I'm from a small town in Minnesota and we don't
get to see this kind of entertainment unless we go out of town
to see a show of this type. I have two grandsons and I would
be delighted to have them experience this show. I know we will
be back to Branson in the next 2 years, and I would love to
go see the show again!! I would especially like to see the Christmas
show!!!
I would recommend this show to everyone and anyone who was
going to Branson to see this show, even if they are there for
the 12th time!!! I think this family shows the rest of us how
talented a family can be and to bring more children into their
family was really terrific!!!! I applaud the Mothers of these
children for home schooling them!!! I think they will all continue
to be a part of the Hughes Brothers and their show!!! Keep up
the wonderful entertainment!!!
The young man who was the jokester was good at the beginning
and during the show as well, he seemed like a mischievous guy!!!!

In December I'm going to be 80 years old. I started
to see live performances at the age of 12 in Hartford (CT) at
the State Theater. Some of the performers were Tommy Dorsey,
Benny Goodman, Frank Sinatra, Peggy Lee, Blackstone and about
200 others.
I've been to Vegas about 30 times, taken many cruises and have
seen so many stars it's hard to describe. I've seen Dean Martin,
Jimmy Durante, Tom Jones, Red Skeleton, Sammy Davis, Andy Williams
and on and on... With all this experience I feel I know quality
performances.
When my wife and I purchases tickets to the HUGHES
BROTHERS' show we really didn't know what to expect.
We were delighted with the quality of the singing,
dancing and the performances of all the brothers and their families.
What impressed us was not only the excellent quality
of the performances, but, also, the closeness of the family.
It's sure nice to see a family as large as theirs working, playing
and enjoying each other. ....the big bonus is that the audience
enjoyed it immensely. Keep up the fine program.

The show was very exhilarating. I love how they
are able to hold together harmony. And If i get the chance to,
I will go back to see the show soon. They are amazingly talented,
the brothers and all the children and wives as well.

We have seen the Hughes Brothers for many years
in a row (14?). Their show is absolutely fantastic! The humor,
the songs, the harmony, the dancing, the emotional roller coaster,
the family atmosphere, their wives and children - every single
thing is fun and wonderful. We have seen dozens of shows in
Branson over the years, but the Hughes Brothers consistently
is our favorite!
Each time we see the Hughes Brothers there are
new songs and new costumes. Each time we come back they treat
each audience like they are the best they have ever seen and
they NEVER appear to be at work - they always seem to enjoy
what they do and how they impact their guests. From receptionist
to star, the entire group at the Hughes Brothers theater are
ALWAYS top notch. We love them all!

WOW, what an AWESOME show. They are fabulous.
We are not a "country" type family and neither is
this show. Even my 9 year old son was rocking his head. When
we told him there were NO instruments, he said, "Yes there
are, can't you hear the base?" To which I responded, "Do
you see that guy with the mic? Watch his lips, he's the base!"
His jaw just dropped. The drum sounds were amazing too. Their
solo's were fabulous and then we had a song from "today"
for the kids to totally enjoy.
I have absolutely NOTHING bad to say...except it was toooooo
short because we wanted to hear more!

My family and I recently moved here from the Boston
area. As many will know Boston is an area of entertainment sophistication.
From its historic Boston Opera House to its many other venues
there is quality entertainment to be enjoyed. Upon moving to
Branson we looked forward to the many entertainment styles we
saw advertised and made a vow to go to at least one show a month.
Forewarned by others that perhaps the quality of the entertainment
in Branson wasn’t up to par as compared to Boston or Broadway
in NY we set upon our adventure with anticipation that we would
indeed see great entertainment.
We have enjoyed many shows over the last several
months here in Branson but were absolutely stunned by the quality,
entertainment style, wholesomeness and energy we found in the
Hughes Brothers Show! Branson in our opinion has hit the map
of Boston and Broadway superiority in many of its shows but
has hit a grand slam homerun with the Hughes Brothers show!
From its opening salvo to its grand finale it
grabs your heart strings, lifts your spirit and energizes you
with its vocal harmony and incredible talent of the brothers
and their amazing family of entertainers.
From the stage lighting to the comedy, Broadway
musicals, original award winning songs, patriotic selections,
love songs, gospel, dance numbers and its variety of song melodies
and then to the performing talent of the wives and children
it was amazing to watch. The band was exceptional and complimented
the voices and various arrangements to a “T”. We
especially loved the wedding score with, if my count is right,
11 songs arraigned together in a moving melody.
The closing finale with all the wives and daughters
dressed in flowing white gowns and the men and sons in black
suits was spectacular!
My wife and I without hesitation recommend the
Hughes Brothers Show first and foremost. It is an inspiration
to see!

The Hughes Brothers is a show that we will not
miss when in Branson. We saw a wonderful mix of humor, gospel,
patriotic, rock & roll, Broadway music. Instrumentals include
Classic Spanish Guitar, Violins playing classical and good old
stomp in' tunes. Dancing including the brothers, their wives,
and many children was very well choreographed, and executed
beautifully. These children are so talented that this show could
be viewed for decades. Families and teens alike will love the
show. The band is second to none in Branson, and were a perfect
match for the vocal, instrumental, and dancing portions of the
show.
There were people attending that had been at the Hughes Brothers
show every year since they moved into their own theater.

how much talent is in this close family. The Hughes will make
you laugh until your sides hurt. They will also bless you in
a way that one else can. you can be sure to have a great time
with the Hughes Family I highly recommend you take your whole
family to see there shows and be sure to come back at Christmas
to see their Christmas show there is no other like it in Branson.
