Spring and Summer in Branson is a welcome break from everyday life. I have lived in Branson since 1994, and I couldn’t think of a better place to call home. I love welcoming folks to Branson… some who are here for the first time and some who treat Branson like a second home.
This is also the time of year when we remind you of the winners of our annual The Best of Branson contest. In 2022, we had over 475,000 votes cast by 80,382 folks over 10 weeks throughout the summer.

The Mansion Theatre for the Performing Arts is the place to see some of the top entertainment acts and concerts in Branson.
From world-class concert events, award winning Broadway productions and cultural theatre experiences, the Mansion Theatre for the Performing Arts won’t disappoint. They were voted “Best Concert Venue” for the fifth year in a row in The Best of Branson contest. Kristy Adams, Vice President of Operations/ Sales and Marketing, was excited to discover The Mansion Theatre again nabbed top honors for the fifth time.
The Mansion Theatre for the Performing Arts is unique among the other theatres in Branson. Not only are they the largest, but they also have community events and festivals on the schedule throughout the year making it a true down-home destination. Adams explained, “we are a premier entertainment venue and we operate
January through December. We are sort of like a convention center on steroids because we have the theatre aspect.”
“The Mansion has focused over the last few years only on concerts,” she said of the 3,000-seat state-ofthe-art theatre. “We operate like a roadhouse. We can switch out shows nightly if we need to. That makes us really skilled at bringing in national touring shows. It also reminds people in the industry that Branson may be a small Ozarks town, but we can handle major shows.”
Many of the entertainment industry’s top touring acts make The Mansion Theatre a regular stop, including The Oak Ridge Boys, Jimmy Fortune, Home Free, Texas Hill, Gene Watson, Dennis Quaid and The Sharks, The Bellamy Brothers, Daniel O’Donnell, and The Gatlin Brothers. The Mansion Theatre has also focused on bringing Broadway to Branson with Disney Princess: The Concert, The Simon & Garfunkel Story and Billy Joel’s “Movin’ Out” starring Michael Cavanaugh.
During the Fall Season, The Gatlin Brothers, Gene Watson, The Bellamy Brothers, The Oak Ridge Boys and Jimmy Fortune will entertain crowds. New for 2023, Daniel O’Donnell brings us a little luck of the Irish with his soothing melodies. Mansion Entertainment Group is also the Grand Finale Sponsor in the 2024 Rose Parade, so be sure to tune in to watch.
“We are really Honored to have been voted Best Concert Venue for the fifth year in a row,” Adams said. “It’s important for us to not only be the BEST for our customers, but to be the BEST for our entertainers. We want them to go back out on the road and
tell other entertainers that they had a top-notch experience performing in our town.”
