My wife & I have lived in the Branson Area for over 25 years and we don't go to many shows. But, this week we got an invitation to see the Brett Family’s VIP Show. And we were very pleasantly surprised.

The show far surpassed our expectations.

We had planned to leave shortly after intermission and found ourselves so entertained that we did not leave until the very end.

Bryden Brett is a tremendous MC and comedian and isn't a bad singer either.

Brianna Brett is a phenomenal Singer and dancer; it is not surprising that she in the Female Entertainer of the Year.

Mom and Dad are pretty good too.

The Brett Family Show is a “can't miss show” in Branson. If you are planning a vacation, don't forget to book this amazing family of entertainers.

I have seen the Brett show many times and I have never been disappointed.

I always leave their show with a warm feeling, having experienced their beautiful talent, harmony, choice of songs and the professional way they present themselves and the show itself.

I love to hear each one of them during their solo time, because they each have such great voices. When they are singing harmony, no one ever misses a note that could throw them off.

I enjoy Brydon's mcee work, his jokes, seriousness and getting the crowd to interact. He is truly a natural as performing.

Briahna always has a beautiful smile and sings like a lark.

Andrea is so very talented, but so unassuming. Her talents seem unlimited.

Tom is so versital. I could listen to him sing for much longer than just the show.

I have been to most of the shows in Branson over the years and I do not think the other shows compare with the Bretts. They are a class act.

We have been to Branson many times and see several different shows however one stood out. It was true family entertainment, wonderful show, great dancing, comedy, fantastic singing, a true family experience which we have found lacking lately in Branson. The show was The Brett Family.

From the moment you enter the theater till the time you leave you are made to feel like you are family. The warmth is something I have never seen of felt in any other Branson show. Brydon Brett, one of the sons also MC, is great, he keeps you entertained with his many talents, you just don't know what he is going to do next.

Tom Brett, the father, has a tenor voice that can vibrate the walls. He is a multi talented, not only his singing but is piano playing and instrument playing.

Andrea Brett, the mother, is another standout. She is a wonderful singer and plays instruments too. She is a fantastic song writer and has the ability to bring one to tears with her Veteran poem.

Now we come to Briahna, the daughter, one word can describe her, WOW, her voice is unbelievable, you name it she can sing it. Her dancing is the best I have seen in Branson, you name the type of dancing and she can do it. Her piano playing is top of the line and can't be beat.

Sorry to have missed the family’s youngest son, Garon, he is doing a Mission for their church in Columbia. I understand he will be back with the family in August and can't wait to see the complete family again.

To me The Brett Family is what Branson is about, good, wholesome family entertainment.

To say would I ever go back is an understatement. Without a doubt I will, it is my favorite show ever in Branson.

Besides being a wholesome family, they are wonderful to watch, they all complement one another. Each has a quality of their own, but they work together, to put on an extraordinary show!

Tom sings from his soul, using his tenor voice to capture the audience. His wife Andrea has a beautiful voice, when she recites I AM A VETERAN I just stand and clap while crying, My fathers a Veteran and in a nursing home, sorry crying again................

I always feel welcome and a part of their family when I go.

Brydon is a nut that gives the audience smiles. I brought one of Brydon's CDs. He has a beautiful voice that captures my heart every time!

I wish I could be their always.

I love all the rest of the shows also, but The BRETT'S have that unique style that keeps me coming back for them.

Thank you
Georgette

If you have not made it up in time to hear the rooster and watch the morning dew melt away then you’re probably missing out on hands down the best show in Branson.

The Brett’s are a family morning show that will literally be music to your ears. Their voices are absolutely heavenly.

It is obvious from the beginning of the show that they are not a typical performing group. This family actually takes time to come out and meet guests and interact making them aware they are part of their family.

By the time they take the stage and the lights start flashing you feel as though you are part of the show.

It is truly a magical experience and one that I hope everyone at some point can experience.

I've been going to Branson for over 15 years, so was looking for a show that I've never seen before. I thought I'd try The Brett Family show. It was full of energy, showing lots of talent.

Andrea Brett recited a poem that she had written about being a veteran. I just had to buy this! Brydon did a routine using his basketballs, which was amazing. I also had to buy his DVD showing basketball drills. Even thought the other son and the daughter were not performing at this time, they were "there" via video.

Such a touching show, and probably the best I've ever seen in Branson. I would recommend this show to anyone going to Branson, and I (hopefully) will see it again one day.

My brother lives in Branson, and also thought it was the best show that he had ever seen there.

I love the Bretts.

This is without a doubt the best show in Branson bar none.

A great way to begin any morning. The energy that the Brett's put into the show generates to everyone who attends. Fantastic harmony, great dancing, very talented band, just a wonderful family giving their all.

From the first moment of the show to the last number they entertain you to the fullest.

A simply MUST see show.

The Brett Family is a great show for families who are trying to fit as many Branson shows into there day as possible.

They have a very welcoming, fun, polite staff with them as well. There wasn't a single face in the crowd that didn't bust out laughing when Brydon put on his cowboy hat and "buckle". It's very easy to tell that Brydon is a real all over fantastic guy, just as fun to hang out with outside of the show I'm sure.

This family just possesses so much talent and kindness I just love them and want to visit them every time I go to Branson

I have been coming to Branson one to three times each year since the early '90's. I saw the show for the first time in June of this year when my sister and her husband were visiting.

This was one of the best shows I have ever seen in Branson. I didn't realize what I had been missing. The music was fantastic. It had music that anyone could enjoy. IT would appeal to all ages and people from different walks in life.

The comedy of Breydon kept everyone entertained and his basketball skills are unbelievable. He could show the Harlem Globetrotters a thing or two!! My sister bought his DVD for her grandson.

The poem that Andrea Brett wrote and read during the show was a must have, since I am a veteran. I enjoyed the songs and the entire tribute to veterans.

I don't want to leave out the religious part of the show which was also great. I had previous neighbors and friends in town last week that I recommended the show too. They could not stop raving about the show. They also said it was one of the best of the 6 shows they saw while in town. They have my vote and support.

I loved being entertained by the Brett Family!

I have seen their show several times over the years and they always work hard to keep it fresh - new numbers, new costumes, etc. It was great to see how they adjusted from five performers, to four, and then to three, not missing a beat or compromising the quality and variety in the show.

The song arrangements are amazing, and the costumes classy, beautiful, and so well designed and tailored to each segment of the show. I have seen many shows in Branson and the Brett Family has the best tribute to veterans in town.

With all sincerity I recommend their show to anyone I know who is going to Branson.

I've seen the show for 7 years as I drove a tour bus.

I love the show and was the only show I ever bought a CD,I no longer drive because of my health and so miss their music and charm.

Could not say enough good about their talent may God bless them.

Our favorite show is the Brett's, and that's really a family consensus. We have five kids and spouses and grandkids, and in anticipation of the trip, we always talk of seeing the Brett's and look forward to the show. Over the years, we have developed a personal relationship with them, they know us all by name, and seem equally enthused to see us at the show.

They entertain like all the others, but there is energy, a connection, that we feel that brings us back to their show each year. Their patriotic portion of the show is the best in Branson, that song that Andrea Brett wrote after 9/11 along with her poem, is a moving tribute. And that is saying a lot, because so many others do the patriotic piece well, like Tony Orlando, but nothing moves me like the heartfelt, high energy, personally-patriotic piece of the Brett's.

We've enjoyed Shoji, the Hughes Brothers, Lowes, Tony Orlando, Magic shows, the Dutton's, Baldnobbers, Andy Williams, Oak Ridge Boys (great show), SIX, and others. They are all outstanding. But the Brett's show is the best for energy, talent (their harmonies are incredible), variety (basketball segment is cool), and just the sincere way they seem to project.

Enough said. They get my (our) vote as the best show in Branson, a must-see in our book.

I have lived in Branson for three years and have seen eighty-two different shows and attractions. I saw the Brett Family September ninth and could not have been more shocked to know a show of this caliber was showing at ten am. By the time that I left, that show had given me more entertainment for my money than I ever could have imagined. The soulful harmonies stopped me dead in my tracks and I cheered like a teenager at a rock and roll concert from my youth. This show had it all. Family, God, and Country was the subject of most songs. I will recommend the Brett's highly as this is a show that must not be missed. I hope this is one hundred words. If I needed a thousand words I would still do this review.

Thank you,

Dear Editors,

My folks came up from Southwest Arkansas to see me this past June and we got to see The Brett Family while they were here. My folks were very impressed and so was I. The Brett Family Show is a wholesome family show that you can take the whole family to. I would like to cast my vote for Best Morning Show to The Brett Family as we went to see them Saturday morning. The show was very patriotic without polarization and politics involved. They are just clean, American music with some gospel, country and popular mixed in. I very much enjoyed the show and I'll be going back soon!

All the best,

Bruce W. Waren

I have seen the Brett Family Show several times over this time period and have tickets for the Christmas show too.

This show is extremely enjoyable and ever time I see something I missed the last time. When both Garrett and Brydon do the basketball series it makes you see how guys should enjoy this game. When Tom and Andrea sing their duet it makes you cry, but seriously mentioning crying is when Andres reads her poem for the Veterans. Oh my gosh- I cried so much and even my boyfriend did because it truly hits home every time. As for the newly mother, Brihanna, her dancing and singing throughout the show is amazing and enjoyable.

I could watch this show weekly and have the same feelings are more each time.

This is a must see show in Branson.

I have seen this show many times and never get tired of seeing it. There is always something new and exciting. There is so much talent in this family and they compliment each other so well. You cannot pick out a star of the show as they are all stars. They perform all types of music so they are sure to do something that everyone will enjoy. It is a great way to spend a couple of hours and leave your worries at home. There is also a fantastic tribute to the military and the greatest poem ever written for the military. You really need to listen and think about what is being said.

A trip to Branson without seeing the Brett Family is a wasted trip.

You will not be sorry.

I never fail to see the Brett Family when in town Nice people GREAT SHOW.

They combine youthful energy with beautiful music. They can cover any kind of music and DO. In a town that honors veterans they go one step further and make us old hard vets get a lump in our throats. They are the best morning show in town in my books and among the best three shows in town morning, afternoon, and night. The Christmas Show is a must see every year.

The season would not be right without hearing "O Holy Night" with the feeling and emotion that they put in it.

What a wonderful family! They are so talented!

It was hard to tell the Mom from the Daughter-the warm welcome that we received on the tour bus was a plus! It was by far one of the best shows that we seen while visiting Branson. The audience involvement was a plus as well as the Salute to the Veterans. They way they shared there family photos just made you feel so warm-the love of that family sure shines through!

I surely would go to another show! Thanks for sharing your talent with us.

I am a music coach from Oregon. The Brett Family Show is clearly one of the best shows Branson has ever seen. Their singing and harmony is tight and in tune. I almost thought they had in ear monitoring, but later learned that they have simply learned to be in tune without the in ear monitoring.

They are delightful on stage and make everyone feel welcome, almost as if you are a part of the family. My wife, Lori, and I have become friends with Tom, Andrea, Briahna, and Garon, we have yet to meet Brydon, they are as delightful in person as well.

Out of all the family shows in Branson, the Brett family is a cut above.

They get my vote for Best Show for 2009.

We just returned from seeing what we all whole-heartedly feel is the BEST SHOW in Branson, bar none! The Brett Family Show left us feeling so good. They're musical selection hit on every type of music we like, and they're costumes matched each style with perfection. The most impressive aspect of their show is their ability to harmonize as only a family can -- but THIS family really creates amazing harmony! And they are all very talented individually too! They also have really great dancing & choreography, energy that we only dream of having, hysterical comedy that's super clean, fun & impressive basketball skills, great on and off stage personalities, a beautiful & meaningful tribute to veterans and the Country, and so many other talents, it's hard to list them all! We highly recommend that every person that visits or lives in Branson should see this show again & again... We certainly will!

Do you want to know what the epitome of the American Family looks and sounds like? Then you MUST see the Brett Family Singers! What a sound! What perfection! What polish! Tom, Andrea, Briahna, Brydon (back soon!...), and Garon just flat-out make the best sounds. What talent (...I mean REAL talent!) they all possess! And if you missed their Christmas Show, then you missed Briahna's standing ovation of "O Holy Night"! And if you missed that, then you REALLY missed out!

They have, by far, the very BEST segment on a tribute to our WONDERFUL Veterans! And the "I Am A Veteran" poem that Andrea recites (of which she is the author also...), will bring tears to your eyes and make you stand up proud, all at the same time.

Lest we not forget their comedian--Mike! He is REALLY funny--and quick! And you should see him juggle! WOW! What a delight!

You will be uplifted and find your spirit renewed after seeing this show! What a way to start your morning!

We have seen the Brett Family Singers before, and recently watched them perform on a nationally-televised concert broadcast. They are simply amazing.

The Brett Family, if you haven't seen them before, are a sharp, personable, "family friendly act" that features amazing vocals. My wife and I have been fortunate enough to watch many a Broadway show, and have watched concerts and live acts at venues all over the USA, as well as in London. We haven't seen any better talent anywhere.

The Brett's put on a great show.....fabulous vocals featuring amazing harmony....you can really hear what is going on as opposed to just a blaring loud cover band. The musical selection is varied, and has enough of everything to please everyone in the family.

The family is attractive, normal, fun, and funny. The show is uplifting without being too "cheesy." We wouldn't think of going to Branson without making their show a major part of our visit....and if they go on tour anywhere near us...we will be there too!!! Definitely two thumbs up.

I am new to branson and have enjoyed quality stagemanship, So imagine my excitement when I discovered the Brett Family Singers Morning Show. What a beautiful blend of hormonal harmonies, and wonderful stage presence. Their daughter Briahna has the quality of a Broadway entertainer, There son Garon is multi-talented with a bass voice that would shock you. Tom and Andrea (aka Mom & Dad) have wonderful charisma and will make you feel like part of the family from the start until the end of the show and everywhere in between.

There light-tech crew was fantastic, and so helpful when asked questions about their art.

In my opinion the "Rise and Shine Band" is the best band in Branson.

The Brett Family Singers present a show within the reaches of 'entertainment for the ordinary to the extraordinary'. They extend to you a program full of the rich blend of singing and the 'altogether ness' of a family full of fun, talent, and the sureness of personalities glowing with genuine love for their audiences. Like dancing?

They've got it! Brianna 21, dances and sings like a dainty pixy with a message for everyone.  Sports? Brydon and Garon put on an exhibition with a basketball that would make you wish they were on your team - which of course they are! Brydon and Garon also add laughter and amusement with a most innocent smile lurking. 

Andrea, not to be mistaken for daughter, Brianna - sings her way right into your heart. She also, composes music, choreographs, writes lyrics and poetry while finding time to also be a wonderful mother. Tom, as a father, glues the family together with his beautiful tenor voice, a spontaneous joke or two and a firm hand on a lustrous us band and backstage lighting crew, etc. For an evening filled with music, fun, and a spiritual touch The Brett Family Singers present a penetrating and contagious show. A MUST SEE!

The Brett Family Singers is the best show in Branson. I really mean that. Sure others may be more famous, but there is no show that is exilerating, upbeat, and diversified as the Brett Family Singers. From the boys "doing their thing" on stage to the parents singing a love song to each other, it holds one's interest. I couldn't stop smiling the whole time I was
watching the show. And one more thing. They are not only beautiful people on the outside but the inside as well. They talk to their guests before and after the show and make you feel like you've known them for years. What a personable family! They are certainly going places.

The only negative thing I have to say is that the word needs to get out more of how great this show is so more people go see it!

This is truly a "must see" show in Branson. This is family music at its finest. There is such a variety of music and all types of music are heard during the show. To add to the normal seasonal show, the Christmas season is an added part of the show. One number, in particular, has the daughter

(Brianna) singing "Oh Holy Night". She is second to nobody. What a powerful voice. That one song is worth the price of admission. The comedy of Mike Bliss really adds to the show as well. Go to this show for a great mix of super vocals and comedy. This show is what Branson is all about.

No matter what kind of music you like, you'll hear it!  The Brett family are all talented in song and dance, and even poetry.  You'll hear a little bit of country music, a little gospel, a little rock, and a little classical.  You'll even see a little basketball!  The family sings together and in solo, and the musicians are just as talented.  This is an excellent show for people who want something other than a country/gospel music show.

No matter where you're sitting, you'll have a good seat, since they have large screens on either side to make sure you won't miss a move.  They incorporate some video into the show, so there's lots of movement and variety to entertain kids and adults.

If you like a variety of music styles and enjoy good dancing, you'll enjoy the Brett Family singers.
