Upon prior trips to Branson, we often considered seeing a show, but
we avoided the shows due to our 2 toddlers which we felt might be
disruptive to other patrons who paid good money to enjoy a show...
My sister-in-law finally convinced us to consider seeing this show
last November ... and convinced us that our toddlers would blend
right in. Was she ever right ... the girls thoroughly enjoyed the
show and the cast was very friendly to the girls after the show. We
are in the process of reserving some tickets for the upcoming show
in November -- hoping to get seats closer to the stage. We would
DEFINITELY RECOMMEND this show to parents of small children. WHAT A
WINNER!!! -- Maggie

I loved this show! It is a very fast paced show with even little
children loving it. I was sitting beside a family of 4 and the
children were just thrilled. From the dancing chickens to the
fantastic Osmonds, you can't go wrong with this show! My husband and
I thoroughly enjoyed it and will go back again to see it.

My wife picked out Broadway Christmas show and since neither one of
us had ever been, we thought it may be a good one! At least it
looked professional in the brochures!
-Seating: Was comfortable and the temperature of the venue was
fine...
-Music: Music was ok, but the Osmonds threw in country songs that
didn't even fit in places!
-Comedy: No comedy what so ever! There was an attempt, but only a
small one...
-Acting: Was really bad! Not only that, but the choreography was
terrible! I don't blame the dancers, as they looked on cue most of
the time, but whoever put this show together HAD to look at it and
KNOW it wasn't up to the other shows offered in Branson!
-This show was so bad, that my wife wanted to leave at
intermission...It was almost as if whoever put this thing together
came up with the price and worked backwards until they got SOMETHING
that they could charge for!
Would highly recommend other shows for the money of this one...And
as such, will probably steer clear of anything with the Osmonds in
it! Although David, the newer Osmond sang two really good songs and
should probably break off on his own before the older ones ruin him!

This show does has some very talented individuals, but it seems very
amateurish in many ways. The costuming was very poor for several
numbers. It reminded me of a college musical, but the price was not
comparable!
This show could be more polished and with more attention to detail
and costuming, it would be much better.

I got to go see the Broadway show last night and it was wonderful. I
particularly liked the young pretty dark-haired singer. She played
Christine in the 1st Phantom song. She did a really awesome job and
I enjoyed her performance, I thought she was by far the best. You
could really tell she put her all into her performance and enjoys
doing what she does. I personally think she needed to sing more
songs than what she did. She was GREAT!!!!
Her costumes were very flattering and she just seemed to beam on
stage. I look forward to seeing her many more times in Branson. Keep
up the good work!!

The first year we saw this show it was very good, especially the
woman who sang "Memory" from "Cats". On the strength of that
we went back to see it last year. What a lame, tacky show--and
that woman singer wasn't in it anymore (although she is still on
your web site)!
Most of the singing is obviously
pre-recorded, the dances look tired (and in some cases downright
goofy) and just going through the motions. Same for "Spirit of
the Dance". It's the last time we'll set foot in the Bobby
Vinton Theater again!

I'm a 47 year old man, my wife is 51. This was our 1st Branson
visit. We ended up attending 10 shows and this show was near
the middle of the pack in quality and enjoyment for both of us.
We attend many national traveling & local theater group shows in the
Detroit area. This was more beautiful than our local groups
and very close in appearance of set and costumes to national
traveling shows. This is primarily a DANCE show that would be
enjoyed by teens and up.
The singers were good, but dance,
costuming and set changes are the best qualities of the show.
Two major disappointments: taped music instead of a live band, and
no taps on dancers shoes. Almost every song done was a number
that on Broadway type shows would include tap dancing. There
was no tap dancing at all in this show. Even our local theater
groups employ tap. All in all it is a very good DANCE show.
It was also our most expensive show we attended, so I was very
disappointed that the music was played off a cd or hard drive.
