THE MANSION THEATRE FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS

VOTED GOLD BEST CONCERT VENUE

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.

“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.”
