This past Thursday my wife and I went to the Bob Anderson show and were totally knocked out. WOW! This show was definitely than every show Branson has to offer. The room only sat about 200 people and was completely packed. The show starts at 6:00 but if you'd like dinner/show you we got there around 5:30. Bob's impressions were so dead on that honestly it was hard to tell the difference between the character he was impersonating and himself. A little bit of the Rat Pack a long with Tony Bennett, and others. His Tom Jones was dead on! The food was Excellent.. We definitely recommend this show for all ages.

I'm still chuckling over Bob Anderson and we saw him last week. CLASS ACT ALL THE WAY. With the Branson Landing coming to Branson, and Bob Anderson at the Lodge of the Ozarks, you people are on the way to reinventing yourselves and changing the way we look at you.
Sometimes with impressionists you need to close your eyes and get into the mood to make the voice believable. With Bob, you need to take a good look cause this guy transforms himself into whoever he is doing. Ray Charles, Tom Jones, Andy Williams, and on and on and on were great.
The room is so perfect and I didn't feel like cattle being herded in. Dinner was okay but was better last season. I think Bob shook our entire groups hands like we were old friends. The guy is unbelievable.

We were recently in Branson and to our "shock" we accidentally found the Bob Anderson show. This is a guy whose show should be blasted from the rooftops. Do you want to change your image.....Branson....this is your guy!
He made us laugh because of the accurateness of his impressions....he made us cry with his heartfelt songs....(he even dedicated "Angel Eyes" to me). This is the caliber of entertainment your town needs....diversity, diversity. Mix it up a little people. Bob sings a song at the end of his show about "he feels we've become friends now" and he is right on the mark. I, we all loved him. I am still laughing about Dean Martin (Bradford) and Tom Jones. Take this wonderful performer out from under the bushel.

I've known Bob for about 25 years now from Las Vegas. My wife and I have been coming to town for years and years enjoying the shows Branson has to offer. There are a few really good shows in town but nothing even in the same field as Bob Anderson. For the dinner and the show, its normally around 44.00. I know what your saying, WOW, that's a lot of money, your on vacation so you gotta live it up just a little". Plus Bob is the only entertainer in Branson who was inducted into the Las Vegas Hall of Fame, ahead of ray Charles, and a bunch of others. He is also the only entertainer in town who is a Vietnam vet, so if anyone is looking for a show to see and its a military group, I definitely suggest Bob Anderson. One of the main problems about his show is the advertising. We didn't see a single billboard or rack card, or anything the entire 6 days we were in town.

I would give Bob Anderson show 6 stars because he is off the charts. We were sitting in McGuffy's talking to a guy named Joe who plays piano for Andy Williams. He told us to go see Bob. Best show we've seen since coming to Branson since 2000. The room made me forget that I was in Hillbilly Heaven. Thought I was in Vegas./ Music was great but can't even imagine what this guy would sound like with some musicians behind him. Taped music was very good and so was piano guy. Anderson hits the mark with every single impression/kind of spooky at times/and the lyrics and delivery made me want to cry. He seems like such a nice guy/shook hands with everyone and wanted to talk after the show to. The food was very very good and also made us think we were in Vegas. I would recommend this show to everyone I know. What a well kept secret he is....why? Thank goodness for "Joe".

In September 2004 we saw the Bob Anderson show for the first time. It was a morning show and the best show we had seen in Branson. His portrayal of every star was dead on. He engaged the audience. In telling the story of his musical career and telling of the stars who had helped him along the way, he was very humble in giving them a lot of credit. He didn't need to be humble because his voice is one of the best we've ever heard.

The audience was small for the particular show we attended, and he made each and every one of us feel like he was singing to us. My husband and I have been telling everyone we meet that if they ever get the opportunity to see his show, "DON'T MISS THIS ONE". It is a Must See!!! We are visiting Branson again this October 4th. and have tickets to see the show again. We wouldn't miss it.

Recently my wife and I went to the Bob Anderson Show and were so impressed that we've been back twice since.  From the white linen table cloths, to the Filet Mignon and Salmon, served with garlic potatoes, vegetables, and a salad.  Everything to drink from Pepsi, to Champagne.  People Magazine says, "America's Greatest Singing Impressionist".  He does Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Bobby Darin, to Bing Crosby, Al Jolsen, Sammy Davis Jr., Tom Jones, and many many more.

All of the greats. I think by far it is the best show we've ever seen hit Branson. The hotel along with Club Vegas recently were sold, so the marketing isn't all there yet.  They'd be fools not to market his show.  All in all we loved it and will be back again

My girlfriend and I thought the Bob Anderson show was really a truly unique experience. The room had a night club atmosphere and feeling about it. Everyone associated with the room was polite and professional and waited on us. The layout of the room was perfect for Bob because there isn't a bad seat in the room and everyone can see perfectly. Even though he only had a piano player..the taped music and the lush background for Bobs songs was full to the point that you didn't miss more musicians on stage. Bob is truly the world's best at his mimicking the people he did. We couldn't believe the accuracy of his impressions. So many times we thought we were looking at Sammy Davis Jr. etc. His Tom Jones is a real hoot. We laughed about Dean Martin for days. Bob's own singing style is unbelievable too. His choice of songs had so much meaning to them. Dinner was excellent and you did not feel like you were being herded into somewhere to eat. The entire experience was totally pleasurable. Bob is the best of Branson!!!

We all thought the Bob Anderson show was the best we have ever seen in Branson after years of trips there.  His show offered a dinner which should also get a standing ovation from the Lodge of the Ozarks....just fabulous!!  It was amazing how Bob Anderson sounded exactly like each performer he did...but his facial expressions and mannerisms were unbelievable.  I would even go as far as to say he is the classiest act in Branson.

Bob is unbelievable and such a nice guy, too. Not only does he have the impressions 100% correct, he even takes on the visual image of the singer as well. His "Sammy Davis", "Dean Martin", "Ray Charles" and "Andy Williams" always has me in stitches, no matter how often I see him perform.

He needs more marketing and advertising so he'll stay in Branson, and when I retire and move to Springfield next spring, I plan to encourage everyone in the area to see his show. I've already promoted him to the Texans I know are going to Branson. He's great.
