WOW! This is the first time I have seen the Rankin Brothers
and what a wonderful show full of talent!!
Everyone in the show is fantastic, the brothers, the Rankinettes
and the band. My cousin and I didn't want the show to stop
and could have listened for two more hours.
Every song they sang we knew well and would look at each
other and say "AMAZING".
Loved every imitation that was done and they were all spot
on and very entertaining.
Wish I hadn't waited till this year to see them and I will
surely put them on my list for next year.

On July 2 my husband and I went to see the Rankin Brothers
show. It was his first time, but I have seen them several
times, my favorite show in Branson! He really enjoyed the
show, which I knew he would.
Each time I see the show, I think how can they be any better,
they always surprise me and they just get better and better.
Matt and Mark are great entertainers. When you go to the show,
you will hear songs from Sonny and Cher, The Beach Boys, Neil
Diamond, George Strait, John Denver, even Sir Paul McCartney.
And I can't forget, Elvis Presley. That's just to name a few.
You will also be entertained by the Rankinettes as well-
[they are] very talented ladies. I promise you won't be disappointed
in this show.
I highly recommend it. You can see them at the Mickey Gilley
Theater on Hwy 76, Wednesday through Saturday nights at 8:00.

You know how it is when you find something nobody knows about
and it so great? Well that's what I would have to say about
the Rankin Brothers show. I did not see any advertising for
the show and I only found out about the show through word
of mouth. But the show was exciting, funny and a great performance.
I only want to tell people about this wonderful show so that
the Rankin Brothers will stay in Branson because if like all
great things in life it must be shared or it will just go
away and people will never get to know what great people the
Rankins are and their staff. After each and every show the
whole cast will meet with you and your family for pictures
and autographs.
For me and my family the Rankin Brothers show is the best
kept secret in Branson that needs to be experienced by everyone
because I know it won't be long before it will be hard to
get a ticket for this show as it will sell out each and every
day so don't wait go now and grab a great seat and I'm sure
I'll see you at the show

My wife and in-laws came to watch the show and everyone was
amazed at how well the Rankin Brothers and their cast performed.
The music was well chosen so that we all enjoyed listening
to the music of the 50's, 60's 70's, and 80's. We all were
able to be involved in the show clap and sing along.
I recommend this show highly and will come back for years
to come. The instrumentalist and back up singers all did a
great job. I can not believe how much they sounded like the
actual performers that made the songs hits.
We could have stayed all night to hear this show.
It was by far the best show we attended on our trip.
Thanks for the trip down to memory lane.

What words do you use to describe this show....aren't any.
The words I normally use to describe a good show (entertaining,
great, delightful, talented) do not begin to describe this
show. It goes far beyond those descriptive words. Just when
I think it can't get any better, it does.
Whether your favorites from the past were The Beach Boys,
The Everly Brothers, Jan & Dean or The Righteous Brothers,
you will hear them and, if you close your eyes, you will think
they are on the stage. Who is really on that stage are two
of the most talented performers I have seen anywhere in the
U.S. Their voices, their mannerisms and their gestures are
right-on. Throw in George Strait and Dwight Yoakum for some
country stars, and you have music for everybody.
I spend a lot of time in Branson and see a lot of good shows
and some very talented performers and enjoy most of them;
however, I see them Sunday thru Friday because Saturday night
is RANKIN BROTHERS NIGHT. Yes, every Saturday night that we
are in Branson, we are in the audience.....they are that great.
I truly feel that anybody that visits Branson and does not
see this show, has missed out on once-in-a-lifetime entertainment.
The Rankinettes are three lovely ladies that sing background
for the Rankin Brothers and also shine when they come front
and center and do some of their own music. The band is very
talented and are a joy to watch.
From the time you enter the theater and meet all the fans
of the Rankin Brothers and meet Mr. and Mrs. Rankin, you will
cease feeling like an audience member and will feel like you
are part of the family. That feeling continues through their
"Meet and Greet" after the show when Matt and Mark,
The Rankinettes, members of the band, Mr. and Mrs. Rankin
and the fans of the show stick around to ask how you liked
the show, share with you their past experiences with the Rankin
Brothers and let you know they are truly glad you came to
see the show.
Put The Rankin Brothers Show at the top of your list..........it
is one you do not want to miss.

This is one of the BEST shows we have seen in Branson in
a LONG, LONG, time.
We highly recommend it. A feel good show - GREAT Impressions,
Talent, Variety, Costumes and ALL LIVE.
The staff was amazing, treated us like we were special guests
- all the guests. Came around at intermission and talked to
us, made us feel welcome.
What a first!
But getting back to the show - Mark and Matt Rankin are a
MUST to see when you are in Branson. These are two VERY talented
young men. Back up singers are also fantastic.
We HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS SHOW.

April 1st, 2011, my mom and I went to see the Rankin Brothers
show at the Mickey Gilley Theater. This is one of my favorite
shows in Branson.
Matt and Mark Rankin just keep getting better and better.
They sing songs from the 50's on up to the 90's. No matter
whose songs they are singing they sound just like the artist.
There's a little bit of country in the show too. George Strait,
Dwight Yokum, and John Denver’s songs along with the
Beach Boys, Jan and Dean and others from that era. Elvis (Mark
Rankin) makes and appearance.
Matt Rankin has started doing a little humor or comedy in
the show this year. The Rankinettes make up the back ground
vocals; they are Betsy Butler, Lori Kelly, and Amy Cofer they
also sing some of the hits during the show as well.
Each show is recorded, so you are able to take the Rankin
Brothers home with you!!
I highly recommend this show! This show is for any age.

My wife and I have been going to the Rankin Brothers Show
for the past three years. We are part of our own Rankin Brothers
Fan Club. Most of us have been to their show between 100 to
200 times and we enjoy every show and never get tired of seeing
it. The show has so much energy and talent and there is never
a dull moment. The songs continue one after another, and you
will find yourself singing along with them.
Both Mark and Matt Rankin sing songs form the good old days
the 50s, 60s and 70s. This is the music that we will never
forget. They sing the songs in so many different voices, and
sound better than most of the original singers. You will hear
Elvis , George Strait, Bob Dylan , Buddy Holly and so many
more. They just continue one song after another without stopping
in so many different voices. You will sit there amazed wondering
how some one can have so many voices and so much talent. The
Rankin Brothers are from Texas and they brought to Branson
one great show. Both Mark and Matt put so much into each show
and enjoy doing it. They care about the people sitting in
the audience and want to give them a show that they won't
forget.
Also part of the show is the Rankinettes. They are three
beautiful ladies, Lori, Amy and Leanna. They sing back up
vocals and do several songs alone and together. These girls
have so much talent and add so much to the show. They also
will have you tapping you feet and singing along with them.
The Rankin Brothers also have a five piece band which is
out of this world. This band can play anything. Some of the
band members have worked with stars like George Jones, Kitty
Wells, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr. and many others. The
drummer Josh Roberts is only 18 years old and you should hear
him play the drums.
I could talk about his show forever. You have to be there
to see all the great talent on that stage. You'll find yourself
singing along, clapping your hands and tapping your feet.
This is a must see show for anyone coming to Branson.
I also could not complete this review without thanking The
Rankin Brothers and their parents Larry and Sherry Rankin,
for bringing this great show to Branson. Anyone coming to
Branson make sure that you see the Rankin Brothers Show at
the Caravelle Theatre Tue, Thu and Sat at 8pm. It's a show
that you will never forget and want to see again.
Thank You Again

I have seen the Rankin Brothers perform 68 times this year.
I have also seen several other shows in town to compare what
the Rankin Brothers offer versus what other shows offer.
I don’t think that there is really a bad show in town,
but the Rankins out class most shows with their version of
the selections that they sing. The band is second to no other
band because of their depth at each instrument. If you listen
to the original song and the way that the Rankins and the
Rankinettes portray their version of the selection, you'd
have to agree that they are very good and have worked hard
to portray as good or better than the original selection.
This is by far the best show in town and you can not find
any better Christian people then Mark and Matt Rankin and
also their parents-Larry and Sheri.
I would vote for them to be the Best Show and Best Band in
town

This show is by far the BEST SHOW on the strip.
The songs selected for the show are done as good, if not
better, then the originals. The Rankinettes do an excellent
job on the selections that they sing and are perfect for back
ups for the songs that the Rankins perform. They have the
best talented band by far.
The show moves along at a good pace and the audience participation
can easily be enjoyed. The Rankins portray Buddy Holly, The
Righteous Brothers and Elvis to a tee. If you turned your
back and heard the selections being sung by the Rankins, you
would swear the original singers was performing.
Once you see the show, your hooked. I have seen several shows
in town and always tell newcomers to town that you are going
to miss a very good show if you don’t go see the Rankin
Brothers perform.

The Rankin Brother's, Mark and Matt are really great guys.
Two of the nicest guys you would ever meet. The three young
ladies in the show are not only very talented, but also really
very nice. The music is the best in Branson. I have been to
this show many times, and every time seems just a little bit
better than the last. It is so good to hear all the old songs
brought to life by these guys. I sometimes don't think they
realize how good that they really are. Where else in Branson
can you hear a great band, great songs delivered by two really
talented guys like the Rankin Brother's. The girls are a great
plus and very talented. One was even a runner up to Mrs. America.
A great rendition of an old Sonny and Cher number is one of
my favorites, as well as Matt on the guitar doing a great
old Chuck Berry number. This show is a must see.

I saw this show last year and loved it and thought they could
not get any better but I was wrong. They are even funnier
and the songs are awesome.
I especially loved the Bob Dylan rendition. He was better
than the Bob Dylan and he looked just like him. I had to really
think about it to figure out it wasn't really Bob Dylan. How
they actually sound like all the artists is beyond me. It
is just the best show I have seen at Branson.
In fact it is the best show I have seen anywhere.
We have been to a lot of places on vacations and we both
agree this is the most versatile show around. We plan to come
back next year and will definitely go to their show.

FANTASTIC. This is by far the BEST SHOW in Branson.
I've seen it several times, and each time I enjoy it more.
It keeps getting better. The Rankin Brothers do such a wonderful
job on the songs they sing. And they really do sound like
the original artists. They take you back in time and bring
back so many great memories. There stage presence is great,
and you can really tell that they enjoy what they are doing.
I also think this show has one of the best Bands in Branson.
They are all very talented, and really work well together.
The Rankinettes are fantastic. They are all great singers,
and they do a great job on back up or when there doing solo's.
This is a high energy show. Great Music, Great Singers, Great
Band. The Rankin Brothers are a Winner.
A must see show when you come to Branson.
I take all my visitors from Iowa to the show, and they love
just love it.

The Rankin Brothers is my favorite show in Branson. As a
frequent visitor to Branson this is the #1 show. They are
a CLASSIC, they sing and play Rock & Roll, from the 50's
60's and 70's.
Matt and Mark Rankin take you back in time, and bring the
memories of our youth. They have so much talent to give- they
are excellent singers, performers, and musicians. Mark is
the best Elvis, He is the King of Rock & Roll. Matt sings
and plays the guitar as if you were listening to Buddy Holly.
This show is family oriented, any age would be welcome and
enjoy the music. Matt and Mark work together great you can
observe the magic they have in their performance's, and the
love they have for music.
They have chosen the very best in the Rankinettes their songs
and voices are breathtaking, the band members are the best.
I always look forward to our trips to Branson.

I have seen this show many, many times and just cannot say
enough about how good this show is. The Brothers have been
in Branson 3 years now and each year has been better then
the year before.
My goodness, what tremendous talent these two young men have.
(They have) such incredible voices with so much range in their
voices. I don't know any artist they can't do and sound just
like who ever recorded that particular song. This is a very
family friendly show, and enjoyed by all ages. It will have
you clapping your hands, singing along and moving to the beat
of the music. And what wonderful music it is. Each musician
is top notch on whatever instrument they play.
The three young ladies who sing back up are outstanding as
well. The do a great job of singing on their own and are very
personable and attractive young ladies. All of the songs that
the brothers do will take you back in time bringing back so
many wonderful memories. And the Brothers, and the girls,
and some of the band, love meeting each a every one of you
after the show. Sign your autographs, and just get to know
you and find out where you are from, and thank you for attending
the show. The show is at the Caravelle Theater on 76 on the
strip, you can't miss the big sign out front. Seating is very
comfortable. The brothers do so many of the great songs of
the fifties, sixties and seventies and do them to perfection.
I just love this show and never miss seeing it if at all possible,
when we are in Branson. It is very high on our list. These
two young men and their entire band, and back up singers,
are some of the nicest, most personable, warm & friendly
people you will ever meet. And when you meet the brother’s
parents you will understand why they are like they are.
I would love to see this show win one of this year’s
awards. What a show and what incredible talent. Don't miss
this one. It is well worth your time.

This show starts out with high energy and ends
the same way with Johnny B Good. The Rankin Brothers show
(as one of the people who sat next to me said) is one of best
shows they had seen in Branson.
Mark and Matt selection of songs from Duos of the 50's &
60's to Buddy Holly and Elvis are truly amazing. The band
and Rankinettes add to the show but the stars are the brothers
who I think must be able to do any singer even country. Their
brotherly taunting back and forth, especially during the Elvis
set keeps smiles on everyone’s faces. Matt and Mark
make a special effort to talk to everyone that comes to the
show and spends time signing pictures and taking pictures
with those who want one. My 4 year old grandson saw it twice,
sang with the songs and loved every minute of it especially
the Sonny & Cher set and Sonny's hair. The show never
gets old as I have seen it three times this year and will
also go to the Christmas show.

THEY WERE FABULOUS!!!!! I can not say enough about them.
The band was the best and the Rankin brother doing Johnny
B Goode was awesome. His guitar playing was unbelievable.
Both of them sang the songs just like or better than the original
artists. I couldn't have been more pleased at the choices
of songs and the comedy they plugged into the show. What a
happy and enjoyable time I had at the show.
I will definitely go back when I come back to Branson.
I think their version of the Righteous Brothers was the best.
Also the Elvis songs he sang were fabulous. He sounds just
like him. It was truly a really enjoyable show and I will
be back.

This is the second time this year that we were
in Branson and saw the Rankin Brothers show, the first time
was their season opening show back in March. Each time we
see their show, it only gets better and we will probably return
to Branson for their Christmas show.
They quickly have the audience giving standing ovations at
the end of almost all their songs. Even the most reserved
of persons in the audience usually will eventually join in
with the crowd in giving them praise to the point that they
almost become a part of the show.
All of the vocalists and band members are "top-notch"
great performers, in addition to being accessible to meet
the audience after each show. All of the performers and band
are very friendly and unpretentious--------something that
is almost unheard with some "star quality" performers.
Mark & Matt Rankin are both "Stars" in every
respect and have remarkable God given talent. Their show is
one for all ages; we have seen their show several times and
have never seen or heard anything in the show that would be
objectionable to anyone. The Rankinetts are both beautiful
and extremely talented to give the show that indescribably
element of true enjoyment. The Rankin Brother's show has captured
the songs of our teenage years in the late 1950's and early
60's perfectly and many of their songs are clearly better
than the originals.
Our advice for those in Branson that love the music of the
50', 60's and 70's is to see the Rankin Brothers show---------we
think you will be pleased.

This is a fun show, and very family friendly.
What truly gifted young men these two are. Both
have incredible voices, and great personalities. They cover
a wide variety of songs and do each one to perfection. I did
not think they could top last year show but they have. This
year Mark has added in a well known song by Dwight Yokum "Guitars
and Cadillac's", and another one by Jay and the Americans,
"Cara Mia", and one by Bob Dylan, "How Does
It Feel". Doing each one sounding just like the original
artist, just as they do on all of their songs. Matt of course
does a wonderful job on " Unchained Melody" and
"The Lion Sleeps tonight". And of course, a fantastic
job doing Buddy Holly. And everyone loves Mark's Elvis. This
show will keep you laughing and clapping your hands through
out the show. What talented young men these two are, and so
very personable.
It has a great band, and very talented back
up singers! who do songs on their own as well. They have some
great choreography. They are very talented also, and very
well liked. It is on the strip in the Caravelle Theater. Seating
is very comfortable and you are made to feel most welcome.
What incredible range these two have in their voices. It is
a show I have seen many, many times and dearly loved. A show
you won't want to miss. It will take you back in time leaving
you with such wonderful memories. Just a whole lot of fun
to be had by all. Lots of laughs, and leave you in awe of
the talent of these two young men.
You will be dancing in your seats. Go see this
one, you won't be sorry you did. Great show.

We have been to Branson many times. There are
a lot of good shows. But there is one show that we never miss-
The Rankin Brothers. They are so talented. They sing every
thing from the fifties & sixties to country.
The ladies who sing in their show have so much talent. Mark
and the tall Rankinett do Sonny & Cher they do a good
job and make you laugh they are so good. They have so much
energy and seem to have so much fun and that just flow to
the audiences. In each show that we have been to the brothers
give each other a hard time.
My wife and I enjoy this a lot. They have so much vocal and
musical talents. We have had several people go to their show
and gone with us and every one has enjoyed it as much as we
have and said they would come back.
We live in Texas and tell every one that go to Branson to
go see the Rankin. And if they don't enjoy it we give there
money back. It has never cost us a dime. In fact everyone
has thanked us. And said how great they are.
Mark and Matt impressionists are AWESOME. And Mark came out
and did Bob Dylan man that blew me away. I just love the whole
show. I will see the show every time we go to Branson.
They are number one.

was a little different.
I am coming back in November 2010 for 4 days and the Rankin

feel like you are home
with your family and I have NOT seen another show that the
cast Care for you and

The music they play will take you back in time to the 50's,60's
and 70's. You will relive your youth. They love their audiences
and make them feel so welcome to their show. They take so

Well, I saw them at the Welk Theatre a few years ago and
loved the show. Lots of talent. I think they could sing anything.
Every song sounded just like the original singer. That Matt
can really sound like Bobby Hatfield of the Righteous Brothers
and Buddy Holly for that matter. I liked all of the Buddy
Holly songs he sang. It brought back a lot of memories from
the past. Mark's Elvis is still the best I have ever heard.
I liked the Sunny and Cher too. They both were great.
I plan to come back again later this year and will be bringing
family. I wouldn't come to Branson without seeing the Rankin
Brothers. They are the best impressionist artists I have ever
heard or seen. I play their CD's all the time in my vehicle
when I travel. Just wanted to let you know how I felt about
the show.

We come to Branson in May and November every year. We come
to see The Rankins. We get tickets for every night for a week.
We love the rock and roll music and The Rankins sound just
like the original artists. Our favorite songs from the 50's
are The
Everly Brothers singing "Dream" and "The Trilogy"
by Elvis Presley. They do a fantastic job. We usually like
front row seats but we find that where ever we sit we have
a perfectly good view of the stage. We can just lean back
and reminisce about the good old days. The Rankins play 50's-60's
and 70's music, you're sure to hear something you love, they
sound so much like the original artists. This is a wonderful
show for the entire family.
The Rankins, the band and the backup singers are so warm
and friendly, we just
enjoy visiting with each of them after the show. They also
have a lovely older
couple that helps them in the theater, always smiling and
greeting people, we
always look forward to seeing them.
A fantastic show for the whole family.

The Rankin Brothers Classic Music Revue has to be one of
the best shows my family
and I have seen in years in Branson.
It is not only entertaining, but up lifting, memorable and
you feel like a million when you leave the show. You just
want it to continue all night long. The Rankin family is incredible
and you feel so welcome and know that they really appreciated
your visit. Mark and Matt Rankin have talent that is unbelievable
- you actually can close your eyes and think that The Righteous
Brothers, Buddy Holly, Neil Diamond, Sonny and Cher and yes
even Elvis are performing right before you on stage. The boys
have mastered, not as impressionist, but as true artists -
the style, the actions, the music of the original artists.
Their brotherly antics and comedy can be compared to the much
loved Smothers Brothers. The Rankinettes and the Rankin Band
are filled with star power.
If you love the 50's, 60's and 70's and want to relive your
high school days - you must see the Rankin Brothers Classic
Music Revue at the Caravelle Theatre.

My wife and I usually travel to Branson 3 or 4 times each
year and we saw their first show of the 2010 season. The last
three years since Mark and Matt Rankin now perform in Branson,
we now primarily come to see The Rankin Brothers because they
play the music we listened to as teenagers-----------except
their music is actually superior to many of the original performers.
As teenagers, we saw several of those original performer’s
shows so we believe that we can objectively compare their
performance.
Anyone that attends the Rankin Brothers show will have the
opportunity to meet Mark and Matt Rankin, the Rankinettes
and some members of their band after each show. All the members
of the show are so extremely talented that each show is a
"first Class" event. After the show when you meet
the members of the Rankin Brothers show, you will already
have seen their amazing talent and then learn what a really
nice group they are.
When you are in Branson, this is a show that you must see
if you appreciate good clean entertainment of the very highest
quality. It is approximately 450 miles to Branson from where
we live and their show alone is clearly worth the drive. When
Mark sings his Elvis songs, you can close your eyes and you
are hearing Elvis. When Matt sings the Buddy Holly songs,
you don't have to close you eyes because he both sounds and
looks like Buddy Holly. They had the audience giving standing
ovations at the end of almost each of their songs. The Rankinettes
are three very beautiful singers that are truly stars on their
own and receive many standing ovations also.
Their band is also a top quality group that certainly compliments
the vocal talents of the singers. Our praise for this show
is only limited by our vocabulary. Don't miss seeing this
show while in Branson.

The Rankin Brothers show is the best yet. Their
charm, humor and just plain great showmanship makes a show
well worth the trip alone. Mark's portrayal of many different
beloved entertainers are cute (especially Sonny and Cher),
Willy, and George Strait. Matt's solo of Unchained Melody
in enchanting. The Rankinettes add their charm and talent
to the show along with a great band of musicians. Their desire
to meet each and every one of their patrons after the show
makes it an endearing and forgettable experience. This show
is a must for any visit to Branson. Looking forward to next
season. Great job, guys!
