The show was filled with humor, great Classic
Country Music and very talented musicians.
We were entertained from beginning to the end
and would recommend this show to anyone who enjoys country music.
This entertainment was clean, well presented and
certainly family oriented.
We definitely would come to see this show again
when we return to Branson.

After seeing Leroy New at the Wyndham Sampler
Show, we were sufficiently impressed to buy tickets for his
Marty Robbins Tribute Show. It did not disappoint! It was easy
to see why Leroy was chosen Branson's Best Guitar Player - his
skills on guitar & banjo were phenomenal! The 2 gentlemen
with Leroy were also great on the piano & bass - all three
had sterling credentials that included experience with top country
acts.
The repertoire of songs was varied and included
lots of our favorites, even though we are not big country music
fans. We especially liked El Paso, Proud to be an American,
& Leroy's impression of Willy Nelson. Their kindness in
providing free tickets to the veterans in our group was sincerely
appreciated!

I thought that we saw the best of the best musicians
in Branson.
The show was just great and we saw a lot of shows
in Branson.
A must for everyone to see when coming to Branson.

This show was very entertaining. From the bass
player to the guitar/banjo player to the key board player -
they are all very talented and we enjoyed this show very much.
Although, it was a tribute to Marty Robbins and
they played a lot of his music they also played others as well
as their own.
We enjoyed the stories that they told and their
humor. Although, I think you would have to work hard to find
or go to a show in Branson that didn't entertain you - this
one made you laugh, remember old days and enjoy our current
ones as well.
I wish I could play the guitar like any of the
entertainers I've seen so far.

This was a really great show!
Loved the fact that they performed like the older
entertainers did back in 50's and 60's.
They did not care if the audience took pictures
or videos.
The bass player, Rick, was so good and Kenny,
the piano player, was the best. Not to mention Leroy New and
his wonderful guitar playing.
They all did a good job on the songs they sang
and brought back memories of many years ago and how the country
music singers were back then.
They saluted armed forces members and had some
beautiful gospel music.
Would go again any time an opportunity arose to
do so.

Little Opry Theater at the IMAX
The performers were very efficient musicians,
each of whom had a very nice since of humor.
I enjoyed the journey back in time as they recalled
the great hit songs of some of my favorite country stars. I
learned a lot about the country artists that I had enjoyed listening
to for so many years, as they told some of their personal stories.
Some of the stories I had heard before but some
were new. The piano player was a pleasure to watch. He had a
style of his own that could not help but bring a smile to your
face. They all had a great sense of humor.
We enjoyed the show and would not hesitate to
revisit.
And all at such a reasonable price.

Marty Robbins Tribute
Little Opry Theater at the IMAX
We looked for a show on the internet that my blind
sister could enjoy while she was visiting us. After reading
every write-up about every show in Branson the tribute to Marty
Robbins seemed a good choice. We were taking a chance since
we knew nothing about it and had never heard of Leroy New.
When I walked into the theater complex, a friendly
man in a costume greeted me and showed me where to go for tickets.
Then we sat and waited in the food court for time to go into
the theater. Soon the friendly man came back into the food court
carrying a guitar and another man came carrying a base fiddle.
They began to play and we began to tap our feet and clap. That's
when we knew we had picked the right show. We didn't know until
the show started that the greeter had been Leroy New.
The atmosphere makes this show special. The theater
is so small that every member of the audience feels he has a
front row seat which also allows eye contact with the performers.
Also, the guests are encouraged to sing along, clap, stamp their
feet, and participate with the entertainers.
These three men are talented musicians! The theater
is small, and so is the band, but the music is big. The audience
reaction was contagious and fun.
Tributes were made to Robbins by telling stories
about the history and playing of the songs. Robbins would be
proud.
My sister couldn't stop talking about the show
and called all her friends back home to tell them everything
that had happened. She can't see props, dancing, or costumes,
but the theater was extremely accessible and she could sing
the words to almost every song. We had fun watching her have
fun.
I highly recommend the Tribute to Marty Robbins
to anyone having visual problems. Sight isn't necessary for
this classy performance.
My husband and I have seen many of the Branson
Shows, but my husband says that he has never seen one he enjoyed
so much. We know we will return.

Little Opry Theater at the IMAX
If you like Marty Robbins you'll love this presentation
of his songs. Leroy does not imitate Marty, but sings a good
variety of his most popular songs and ballads. He shares a lot
of Marty's history in between selections. You'll hear White
Sportcoat, Streets of Laredo, Big Iron, and several others.
Leroy is a guitar wizard and will share other
songs made famous by Chet Atkins, Merle Travis, and Roy Clark,
featuring his finger style picking. His band consists of a bass
player, who also is a talented singer, and a very good piano
player, who presents some Floyd Kramer music. There is a good
mix of comedy and true to life experiences of Leroy growing
up as a child in the hills of Kentucky.
The theater is small in comparison to some of
the larger ones, but comfortable, with a full snack bar and
food court. Leroy and his staff are eager to meet and greet
you during intermission and at the end of each show, making
you feel appreciated. He and his wife are down to earth people
and they love what they are doing.
A good quality show, put on by good people.
