I recently attended the Bill Chrastil Show at The Hall of Fame Theatre in the Branson Mall.

Bill's performance was spectacular. He is extremely talented. It is hard to believe one man has this much talent.

I especially enjoyed his Neil Diamond and Tom Jones sets. Shut your eyes and you would think Neil Diamond & Tom Jones were on stage.

He was absolutely awesome performing Jerry Lee Lewis on the keyboard. Obviously the instruments on stage are not there for props...he plays them and very well.

The grand finale was his performance of Elvis and Unchained Melody on the Keyboard. I know many do Elvis but I've not seen anyone that can even start to compare to his performance of Unchained Melody on the Keyboard.

I will definitely see this show again and recommend it to others as well.

Bill Chrastil is so energetic and for a one show I didn't miss anything else. He has the gamut of music all covered. He played guitars and the piano without missing a beat.

Everyone was mesmerized by him including children. One of my favorites was the Willy Nelson, Julio and Elvis song when he ended with Elmer Fudd that was just so cute. The voices were right on. And when he did Tom Jones the women came out of their seats. He ended with a Tribute to Elvis that I felt surpassed all other ETAs. He is spot on when he hits those high notes in Hurt, American Trilogy, My Way and others. He gives a standing ovation to the troops and the veterans in the audience.

And last but not least, he is not afraid, nor ashamed to admit that Jesus Christ is King! I give the show four stars in all the criteria

My Aunt Ramona and I went on a tour bus to Branson. We saw Bill Chastril more than once. He is an awesome singer and entertainer.

We enjoyed his shows very much. Then we went on down to Memphis and Bill performed a pool side party one evening which was really good as well.

I would love to see him win this award as he truly deserves it.

The first time I saw Bill Chrastil was on a bus trip and he was at the Owens Theater. I was really taken in by his singing and ability to play all these instruments. It was the first time I ever been to Branson and the first time I'd ever been to a show anywhere.

We came back to Branson in April and went to the Hall of Fame to see him. Bill has the best personality. He does his show with enthusiasm, and reality of who he's performing. I think he’s number 1 all around. Bill deserves this award because he's a super awesome, friendly, kind, all American, great entertainer and singer.

AMAZING!!!!! AMAZING!!!!

I went to see the Bill Chrastil Show at the Hall of Fame Theatre in the Branson Mall. WHAT AN AMAZING ENTERTAINER!!!!

Bill opens the theatre and greets every single person that comes through the door. IMPRESSIVE!!!

When he took the stage it was non-stop from beginning to end. He did tributes to Johnny Cash, Alabama, Conway, Tom Jones, Neil Diamond and Elvis. He sang a gospel song that he wrote himself as well as a few other songs and totally blew me away.

He came off of the stage and greeted each person in the audience as he sang....he truly made everyone in the audience feel good about being at his show. I was so impressed I went back the next day and received the same treatment and just as excellent a show as the day before.

I have never seen so much energy in one show!!

It was well worth the visit to the mall!!!!!!!!

OH MY! What a show! Bill Chrastil is the most amazing performer that I have ever seen.

The energy, the talent. He sings, plays the guitar and also the piano during his show. I was never bored. He sang and played country music, old time rock and roll. His guitar instrumentals were fabulous.

He even performs songs that he has composed himself. He included tributes to Jerry Lee Lewis, Roy Orbison, Conway Twitty, Johnny Cash, Tom Jones, Neil Diamond, Willie Nelson, Julio Iglesias, and Elvis. He also had 5 costume changes. He is definitely proud of the awards he won in 2010 in Branson as it was his first season!

I plan on seeing this show again

Bill is exceptionally talented, performing tributes to many artists including Elvis, Tom Jones, Neal Diamond, Julio Iglesias, Willie Nelson and Elmer Fudd. I enjoy the tributes but also enjoy when Bill sings in his own voice. He also plays a variety of instruments.

The Hall of Fame Theater is an excellent venue for Bill's show because it - like him - is very welcoming and personal.

What I appreciate most about Bill is his direct, honest and respectful communication with the audience and his fans. He never takes them for granted! Nor does he do the "star" thing of acting like he's hot stuff -- he's a good solid, Midwestern guy who is also one heck of an entertainer.

The show was awesome.

Bill is a terrific singer and performer.

IF I lived in the Branson area I'd go see his show every day if I could.

My wife and I recently took in the Bill Chrastil Show at the Branson Hall of Fame Theatre inside the Branson Mall on 76. What a fantastic and energetic performer, not to mention his vocal talent!

He does Conway Twitty, Neil Diamond, Tom Jones, a tribute to the King, Elvis plus a Rock & Roll Segment. If you ask, he'll even throw in a little Willie! This man is multi-talented and gets the audience involved!! He is not only a talented singer; he is also great on the guitar and piano!!

You also don't have to dig deep in your pockets....this show was under $20.00 YOU NEED TO SEE THIS SHOW!!

A multi-talented performer.

I especially liked his Waylon and Willie with Elmer Fudd at the end. VERY CUTE!!!! The music was right on!!!! He played guitar solos that just made my jaw drop. He also played the piano during his "wild man" Jerry Lee Lewis. And then he played the piano again in his tribute to Elvis which is the best I have ever seen!!!

He interacted with the audience never leaving dead air. I think it is special when he comes down from the stage to sing personally to the females and shakes their husbands/boyfriends hands.He sang Tom Jones and boy does he have Tom's sexy moves.

At one point, I thought Neil Diamond had shown up but it was Bill that was how much he sounded like Neil!! He also honored our brave veterans and members of the military. To finish his show with a sharing of his faith, in these times when sharing your Christian faith is frowned upon, for him to do that fills my heart! with joy.

This is a show for the whole family to enjoy. I recommend it wholeheartedly. A new show, a new talent. The hour and a half just flew by and I couldn't wait to come back and see it again and it was a bit different from the one I had seen the day before.
