My family and I recently saw the show....again. This was our 3rd
time. WE love the show!!! My daughter is 8 years old and she loves
Reggie as Elvis. She has 3 scarfs from him hanging on her bedroom
door.
We had front row tickets and she just had to make him a poster to
hold up , it had his name on one side and "I love Elvis" on the
other side.
All of the performers are great but, I gotta say that you save the
Best for last. Reggie is Awesome!!! He is so full of energy, very
good-looking and WE LOVE YA!!!

The two "characters" who play the Blues brothers make this show so
much more than it would be without them. More than any other
performance in the Legends show, this segment, brings life to the
stage. It is also obvious that these two really enjoy being on stage
and "hamming" it up for the crowd. I think it is important that they
are enjoying themselves because they don't seem "canned" or "staged"
as much as other performers do.
It is amazing that after running the same show night after night
they have the same high energy and enthusiasm for it. Their energy
is passed onto the audience and I think it is a reciprocal
relationship, they then get to feed off of the heightened energy.
I would love to see the Blues Brothers up for Best Performers in
2006. I feel these two really deserve the chance to shine for their
talents in entertainment. It is true that this duo now possesses
"Branson's Best Singer 2005" and yet the reason to see them is
beyond their singing talents. A good singer could just stand there
and croon but a truely talented performer and entertainer knows how
to do it all at once and I think that is what these two do so well.
Proving to me and hopefully to others that they really deserve to be
"the best!"

Hello friends!...Has it been a while since you saw a Legends show?
Believe me, it is time to give a return (or first time) visit SOON.
They have switched over to a Christmas format like most other shows
in town, but there is one big difference: They have a new performer,
Brian, (sorry I do not know his full name) who will knock your socks
off - he sings as Roy Orbison, and speaking as a many years Orbison
fan, this guy knows what he is doing. (wait until you hear him sing
"CRYING") He is absolutely wonderful, very professional, and the
same delivery as Roy. I'd go see the Legends show while he is still
in it, the next time he comes to Branson, I would not be surprised
to find he has his own show!

All the cast were good but Bucky Heard was great. I have followed
Bucky through out his Branson career. I know of six shows he has
been in and they were all good. He has gotten better each time I see
him. When in Branson, I look to see what show he is in and then go.
I also love his Horndogs. He has a terrific voice but it is his
personality and showmanship that makes his numbers so good. He is a
wonderful entertainer and well worth the price of a ticket to hear
and see.

Hello! I'm the sister of Myschel who wrote the review of the Horn
Dawgs and in particular, Bucky Heard. I wanted to add that we also
saw him as "Jake" in the Blues Brothers. What an incredible talent!
He's fabulous as an imitator, and fabulous just as himself. I wanted
to add my opinion that Bucky should be voted best singer in Branson.
He truly made our visit memorable and we just enjoyed every minute.
All the impersonators were great, it's a good show, but Bucky was

I have seen a lot of Branson shows and I recently saw the Legends. I
was not really impressed with Garth Brooks but the Blues Brothers
more than made up for it. I really enjoyed Bucky's voice and enjoyed
Justin's moves. Bucky has the most awesome voice ever.
Judy Garland was great and when she put on her ruby slippers it
brought back great memories.
Jackie Wilson was good and Ann Margaret had a lot of energy. Elvis
was the last to perform and did a great job in all he did.

I saw the Legends show this past April and got to see the best shows
ever.
The guy that played Barry White (Jor-Dan) was really good and he was
even in the next issue of "Entertainment Weekly". He looked like him
and sang like him too. It was fun to hear disco type music in
Branson. Shania Twain was also very good and works hard for the
crowd. Buddy Holly
was a screm to watch-he looked like a geek as he likes to tlel the
crowd but he played that guitar like Buddy did years ago. The Blues
Brothers were up and running with the likeness of Dan and John.
I loved that movie and these guys Justin and Bucky copied all the
moves to a t. Bucky was incredible with his
vocals and both of them worked hard for the audience and got lots of
screams and applause. Best singer is Branson suits him well. The
theater is the old Osmond theater. It use to be bigger but they
added fountains on both sides and they put in the ice but since the
Osmonds left the fountains are still used in the beginning of the
show as well as the finale and the ice has melted on to a black
floor. The seats can be tricky not all of them are the same size but
still very comfortable. We will go back for the holiday show and
will review that when we get back. I'm anxious to hear Bucky's great
strong voice again and heard he will be John Cougar next Spring.

Some of the acts in the Legends show are unmentionable because I

Brothers (Bucky and Justin) really brought it back and more. They
have talent beyond mention, both lyrically and creatively.

I saw the Legends the other night and lovewd it. I had seen the REAL
Garth Brooks and the Garth in this show is very close to the real
thing..it just cost me half the price. The Judy Garland was really
good-I had never seen her and only remember the "Wizard of Oz" that
she was in. She did a good job in "Over the Rainbow". Next up was
the BLUES BROTHERS. Holy cow--those guys can move just like the
originals in the movie as well as in the SNL show years ago. It
brought back fun memories. I really enjoyed Bucky's voice. He plays
the part of Jake Blues. He can rock and would like to hear his voice
more often in the show. Justin plays Elwood and is crazy on the
stage. They are both very energetic. Love them the best of all. I
can see why Bucky is nominated as the Best singer. Jackie Wilson was
up next and rocked with his dance moves and happy songs from the
50's. Ann Maraget was awesome and looked just like her. I had to
look twice but I reallyu thought it was her.
Great show-great talent. I will go back again next time I'm in town.

Just saw the best show in Branson. The Legends are the best and the
hard working cast including the dancers are all wonderful. Had front
row and the show started off with Garth Brooks-while he was singing
the Dance this old man walked up to him and asked Garth to
dance...and they did. After the great performance of him was Judy
Garland-then The Blues Brothers and that INCREDIBLE voice of
Bucky Heard. He gets my vote for sure---I just wish he had his
own show or the portion of the show he is in was longer than 15
minutes. That man deserves a show all by himself.
The 2nd half was Jackie Wilson-he can dance for an older guy. Then
Ann Margaret came out and she was really good-then Elvis.
Wish they could do an entire hour of the Blues Brothers...can't get
enough of Bucky Heard!!!!!

When Tony Roi was at the Legends, I would go to
both shows when I was in town. I have a daughter that was 8 when we
first started going to the Legends and she loves it. Even thought
Tony isn't at the Legends anymore, we still go to at least one of
the shows. We love Bucky and Justin; my youngest one loves them so
much, her and her friend dressed up like them one day and went to
the show. They are all so kind about taking their picture with you
no matter how many times you have been and signing pictures.
Even though you can't use flash photography at this theatre, I have
managed to still take a lot of wonderful photographs. The dancers
are very kind as well. Steve as Garth is a wonderful entertainer; he
grabs your attention and keeps it. The kids really get into his
music. They like to get up and dance.

This is a first time visit to Branson
for my husband and me. We were able
to go to two shows but this Legends in Concert will be burned in my
memory.
I am a very big fan of Elvis Presley and had never seen him in
person.
Listening to Tony Roi is like listening to Elvis. He really does
sound and
look like Elvis. The other artists are wonderful too. They are a
great
ensemble. After the show, I stayed around to get autographs and was
in 7th
heaven when Tony Roi kissed me on the cheek. I felt like a teenager
and
I'm 59 years old. The visit to this theater was a good experience for my 7-year-old
grandson
too. He tripped and spilled most of his popcorn in the theater lobby
and I
saw dismay and disappointment on his face. I was about to buy him
another
box when a theater personnel asked for his near empty box and
refilled it.
Now, wasn't that nice? I'm pretty sure it left a good feeling for my
grandson. This is a theater worth visiting and a show worth seeing.

My husband, young daughter and I saw Legends a little while back and
we loved the entire show. We especially enjoyed the Blues Brothers.
The high energy of both the brothers kept us all bouncing in our
seats. My toddler absolutely loved the singing and the movement.
These two performers were excellent. We will go back to see them
again on our next trip. Bucky Heard was fantastic! We also
saw Tina Turner and Celine Dione and totally enjoyed their segments
as well. We have a picture of Celine with our daughter and everyone
thinks it is really Celine herself.
The seating in the theatre was fine, but we sure would like to see a
bit more space available in the lobby as it was quite crowded before
and after the show. Other than that we sure to recommend that
everyone go see the show!

The Legends show is really good but what makes it is the Blues
Brothers. Justin is too funny and makes me tired to even watch him.
Bucky Heard however is the voice not to miss. His stage
presence is great and his personality is very charming-he always has
time to visit with those that want to. I saw a Haygood show and when
I went over to chat with them it was like they had to do community
service. I am not a young teeny bopper and I think it killed them to
chat or have them pose for a picture. I voted for Bucky for the
simple fact that he truly appreciates those that see the show and
doesn't care how young or old you are.

The Elvis was ok but I REALLY loved the
Blues Brothers. Jake Blues (Bucky Heard) is amazing. I can
see why he is up for best singer and feel he deserves this
award. I bought the
Blues Brothers cd and listen to it all the time.His partner
Elwood (Justin) is also fun.I plan on going back a few more times

I recently went back to the Legends theatre where
I had gone previously to see Tony Roi; The Blues brothers were
superb as usual. Justin and Bucky always do a great job. There was
Faith Hill and Rod Stewart and Tim McGraw all of whom were very
good. Then came Shawn? as Elvis. I was terribly disappointed in his
performance. I have seen the real thing and I have seen the
performer by the name of Reggie that did Elvis back in March. He was
very good, but this last time, I was ready to leave before Shawn got
half way through his performance. He had a wardrobe malfunction (for
lack of a better word) and he seemed to want to show it off rather
than hide it. I know that Tony Roi left Legends for his own show at
the Branson Mall (which, by the way, is great) I had hoped Legends
would keep Reggie as Elvis but they did not. What a mistake. They
need to rethink their decision.........

When Tony Roi was at Legends, I saw this show
many, many times. I love Justin & Bucky (The Blues Brothers) and
Steve (Garth Brooks). Steve has an amazing resemblance to the real
thing, so energetic & entertaining. I even like Marilyn (contrary to
the opinion of one of the other posters) who I think does the
"breathy" Marilyn Monroe to perfection.
The only performer I have EVER seen there that I didn't like was
Liberace. I guess he captured the general essence of the original,
but he was sickening to me. After I observed him the very first
time, on subsequent trips to the show, I made his segment my
"bathroom break" so that I wouldn't have to watch him. I won't go
into any more detail about him, but I think that anybody who has
ever seen him will know what I'm talking about!
On one occasion, I saw a local girl do Karen Carpenter. She was
truly amazing, and I can't figure out why she hasn't been brought
back time and time again. Both her sound and her appearance were so
authentic.
My experiences at Legends (with that one exception) have always been
very positive! Whoever is in charge of hiring "doubles" does a
really great job.

performers were the blues brothers and Shania Twain. Shania brought
my husband up on stage and made his year, he was one happy guy. But
I would say Bucky Heard was the best performer and singer at the

were only four musicians but they did a fantastic job of pulling off
all of the different styles of music and sounding great. Each one of
them has to be a top-notch musician to cover all of the styles so
well!
As for the impersonators...
Neil Diamond - he was great. Looked and sounded like the real Neil.
Diana Ross - she was alright... did a long medley of Motown songs
which jogged some memories.
Blues Brothers - they did a great job. I especially enjoyed the song
"Sweet

Barbara Streisand - she had a great voice and even did a duet with
Neil

I have seen this show every time we go to Branson
and I must say when I leave I always feel I got my money’s worth.
Wow! The Blues Brothers are very good and all the others are very
good, but the Elvis - Shawn Klush; wow! That’s an awesome singer.
Wow! Does he look like Elvis. I could have fell out of my seat.
But I was in the middle and was held in, I couldn’t get out the
first time I saw Shawn but when I went back I was front row and,
well… I got a kiss and a scarf and that was worth the trip it self.
Shawn is a sweet person; a very good-looking man. He really sounds
like and looks like the real Elvis. Boy, Elvis Presley would be very
proud and I know he’s smiling down at Shawn and saying, ‘Keep up the
good work and keep the ladies on their seats.’ and Shawn does just
that.
He’s very good and the best Elvis I have ever seen and he has Elvis’
hair color and cute smile. Shawn has it going on; he will fill any
place full. Go see this wonderful show and everyone at Legends will
treat you with respect. You will leave there smiling (not sad, by no
means). Go see this show for sure and ladies get front row and get
your kiss and scarf. G. D.

He loved his fans and so does Shawn, so get out there and go see

I recently went to Branson for the first time. I went to several
shows and have to say that the Legends show was my favorite. Being
an Elvis fan (and having seen him in person), I was blown away with
Shawn Klush. Watching him move on stage is like watching Elvis
himself. I had eight friends (with me) who were totally impressed
with him as well. My husband does not call himself an Elvis fan and
couldn't get over how much Shawn sounded and moved like Elvis. We
have been to the Legends show in Las Vegas and neither of us cared
for the Elvis in that show. The other performers in this ensemble
were really good, as well, right down to the dancers and the band.
It is a very polished and professional show. The Tim McGraw and
Faith Hill were great additions to the cast. The Whitney Houston was
amazing. I have to give kudos to the whole cast for a job well done.
I went to see the show twice, and would have loved to have gone
more. G. D.

during this two hour show, he really had the crowd on their feet. We
were dancing and singing in the ailses. All in all the show was
fabulous but we were hoping that we would have the opportunity to
hear more of Bucky sing. I am in awe of how long he was able to hold

I've seen the Legends show a few times and really enjoy the Blues

even doing the cartwheel like john B did in the movie and he even
adds a 'worm' dance-not sure how he does that with the stuffing
under his shirt but it totally impressed me. I love all the songs
that he and Justin did. I just wish their segment was longer so I
can hear the 2 perform longer. I have voted for Bucky for this

I really like this show a lot. The theater is a nice size and there
really are no bad seats there. I like Garth Brooks and Judy
Garland was ok. THe Elvis there isn't all that great but at least
his eyes are pretty to look at. My favorite was the Blues Brothers
and Bucky Heard was the best Jake Blues ever. He is nominated
for the Best singer award and feel its really not a fair deal. He is
only on stage for 20 minutes but the others in his category have
their own show or are showcased longer than just the small time that
Bucky has. He gives it his all and the crowd appreciates it. He is
such a sweet man and really cares about those that wish to speak to
him during intermission. Bucky is the best.

In the summer of 2004, I went with a tour group to Branson.
One of the shows that we attended was Legends in Concert. We really
did enjoy the show. I guess growing up with the 60's music was one
of the main reasons that I enjoyed it so much. Also, Bucky Heard
was raised in Dadeville and I enjoyed watching him grow up. I feel
that he very much played his part in the show and he puts his all
into whatever he does. I feel that he deserves to win this award. He
comes from a Christian family and I wish the best for him. The
auditorium was very comfortable, seating and temperature wise. We
had great seats and were able to see the stage well. If I should
ever be back in Branson, I plan to attend Legends In Concert again.
Good Luck, Bucky!!!!

Legends in Concert is the best show of all times. When in Branson I
try mad make at least one show time every day that I am in Branson.
The entertainers make you feel as though as they are performing to
you alone.
I have meet several of the performers and love each one of them.
I would recommend the show to everyone I see, in fact I have sent a
lot of people to se the show.
Legends keep on doing what your doing , you make everyone feel
great.

I'm a 47 year old man, my wife is 51. We attended this as our 1st
show and enjoyed it. 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. This show is appropriate for
all ages including children. With Alan Jackson's exception, the
physical appearances were not very close to the performers, although
costuming was similar. Videos of the actual performer being copied
were shown on video screens surrounding the stage. Some audience
members do get "shanghied" onto the stage or sung to in their seats.
The music:
There was a live band of good quality.
The singers:
Alan Jackson and Shania Twain performers were top notch. In fact, my
wife commented that the Shania performer sounded like Shania, but
better. Tina Turner was good. Elvis and the Blues Brothers were OK,
the BB's did do some cartwheels during the act.
The costumes/appearance:
Shania was very sexy. Not revealing, but looked & projected sexy.
Alan seemed to be very much like AJ. Blues Brothers "Belushi" was
obviously stomach pillowed. Elvis, Tina & the Blues Bros did not
project the feel of their characters as well as Alan and Shania did.

I was a very big fan of this show, but when we found out the Elvis,
Shawn
klush wasn’t there any more, well, that blue us away. We don’t
understand this.
He was very good and we know this was a mistake. I don’t know what
they were
Thinking, but it was a very wrong move on there part. Where every
Shawn goes
He will do great. We are just upset with the choice they made of
letting
Shawn go.
Tony Roi is a wonderful Elvis and we enjoy him. We are fans of Tony
Roi.
Everyone knows they want 2 hours of Tony and few minutes’ wont work.
He will have his own show again and then what’s legends going to do
then.
They should of kept Shawn.
The blues brothers are very good. We love to see them there. Tim
McGraw
Was, very good. Hope he’s doing ok. Garth Brooks was a wonderful
person.
Well I hope they wake up and see what they are doing to there show.
They lost a very good Elvis, and I hope they see this some day.

I went to legends show and this is the most incredible show. The
actors were all very good and the dancers and the band were super;
but the thing that was the very best was the Elvis. He is just the
very best I have ever seen. The most look-alike and sound-alike I
have ever seen; and the way he treated the fans after and pictures
with everyone well… this is the very best show in town. Shawn Klush:
he will make you believe the king is in the building. He’s
fantastic. He was just the best I have seen. Of others, none compare
to Shawn. The Tim McGraw was great and Faith was. The Neil Diamond
was very good (well they were all very good). I could see this show
again and again; we went 2 times this trip we will be back to see
Shawn.

We recently went and saw the show, brought the
whole family, which was a pretty diverse group of age range from my
grandson to my mother. It appeared that this show would have a
little something for everyone. The performer that I have to say
everyone of our family loved was the Rod Stewart, he was incredible;
even my 85-year-old mother went out and bought a CD of Rod Stewart
after she saw him perform. My wife and I have been to many Legends
shows and have seen the Rod Stewart (Rob Caudill) many times and
have never, ever been disappointed. He is always got that energy and
charisma on stage that it is amazing. I have yet to see anyone look
and sound so much like an act as he did, his voice and mannerisms
and soccer balls into the crowd were awesome. Our grandson (who is
5) was just in awe over him, he just had to get his autograph and
has never asked for anyone's autograph; every time a new act came
out he was hoping Rod Stewart would come back on. I think Legends is
a good show, the Tim McGraw though seemed like a nice guy was a
little whiny where the voice was concerned, the Faith Hill was okay
although she looked and sounded nothing like Faith Hill just a tall
blonde that was easy looking on the eyes. The Blues Brothers were
where I was most disappointed as they did not resemble the
characters at all and it was an act we could have done without (not
sure why all of the theaters think they must keep an Elvis and Blues
Brother as there are many other great acts that would be awesome;
besides when they are there all the time I feel like they are just
going thru the motions). The Elvis was okay; made me a little
nervous watching him on stage - but was okay. Whitney was okay, but
a little big to do her, in my opinion. Well, thanks for the
experience. Would love to come back and see Rod Stewart some more.

I visited Branson last week with a friend and the
first show we saw was Legends. We arrived shortly before the start
of the show and were thrilled when we were given third row center
seats -- at least until we sat down. I do not normally have trouble
sitting in theater seats, but these were the tightest I have ever
sat in at a theater. My friend is considerably hippier than I am and
was totally uncomfortable.
Since most everyone in the theater was seated in the center section,
my friend and I decided to move to the left side of the theater,
which was almost empty. My friend still found the seat
uncomfortable, but at least no one was seated beside us. The seat I
was in seemed to be slightly larger than the one in the center
section.
The show started with a Buddy Holly impersonator. Since Buddy Holly
was a little before my time, I wasn't quite sure how accurately the
performer impersonated him, but the performance was quite enjoyable.
He was into his second song when an usher came leading a large group
of people, including a man in a wheelchair, to the two rows
immediately in front of where we were sitting, during the middle of
the song. The usher then left for a few minutes and then returned to
tell the man in the wheelchair he would have to move to another row
or get out of the wheelchair and sit in a seat. All of this activity
while the entertainer was performing was quite distracting. It was
certainly obvious when they seated the man that he was in a
wheelchair, so I have no clue why they didn't address that issue at
the time the group was initially seated. Also there were rows and
rows of empty seats on the sides further back where the group could
have been temporarily seated until there was a change of performers.
After Buddy Holly, there was a Faith Hill impersonator. She was very
attractive and had a great voice. I found her performance very
enjoyable.
"The Blues Brothers" and "Garth Brooks" also entertained. Since "The
Blues Brothers" was an act created for "Saturday Night Live", I
really wasn't quite sure they qualified as "legends", but their
performance was quite good, as was "Garth Brooks".
The biggest disappointment was the "Marilyn Monroe" impersonator. In
my opinion she didn't particularly look or sound like Marilyn. Also,
a large part of her performance involved an audience participant.
She approached the man and took him up on stage. She then proceeded
to sit on his lap, caress his face and play with his hair by shaping
it into a point on top of his head. It was not totally clear to me
whether or not he actually enjoyed being made a part of the show.
The show closed with an "Elvis" impersonator. My friend is an Elvis
fan and didn't think he particularly looked like Elvis when he was
standing by the door greeting people as they walked into the
theater. However, on stage from a distance he looked a great deal
like Elvis and even sounded like him.
Through out the show there was a group of dancers and two dancers /
back-up singers that performed. They were extremely energetic and
enthusiastic and added greatly to the overall theater experience.
All in all, my friend and I both enjoyed the show. Our biggest
complaint was not with the performers, but with the theater. The
seats were simply too narrow for a lot of people to be comfortable.
The row we were initially seated in was full and the seats felt
about like being in the center seat of an airplane. There simply was
not enough hip or shoulder room to relax and really enjoy the show.
Even if they charged a premium, it would seem like the theater would
benefit from having a few rows of more spacious seats.
