BRANSON, MO
A little history about the “Live Entertainment Capital of the entire universe!” - “quote from 60 minutes”
I
n 1962, Paul Henning, inspired by a Boy Scout camping trip to the Ozarks, created The Beverly Hillbillies which ran on first-run television until 1971. The first five episodes of Season 8 in 1969 are set in the Branson area when the Clampetts returned to their home. Henning later donated 1,534 acres (6.21 km2) for the Ruth and Paul Henning Conservation Area near Branson. He also donated the modified 1921 Oldsmobile truck used as the vehicle in the series to the College of the Ozarks, where it is on display in the Ralph Foster Museum.
T
he Presley Family (no relation to Elvis Presley) became the first to move their show (Presleys’ Country Jubilee) to Highway 76 in 1967, followed a year later by the Baldknobbers. Eventually Branson would have more than 50 theaters, most of them located on Highway 76.
I
n the early 1980’s, Chisai Child’s Starlite Theater (not to be confused with the current theater by the same name) was one of the first to introduce stage sets, horn section, elaborate costume changes, and music outside of the traditional country music normally played. It helped to launch the careers of Shoji Tabuchi, and many others.
I
n 1983, Branson began its transformation into a major tourist attraction when the Roy Clark Celebrity Theatre opened
and began to bring famous country music stars to perform. Many of the entertainers who have had their own theaters in Branson first discovered Branson when they performed at this venue.
I
n 1987, Box Car Willie became the first internationally known entertainer to purchase a theater in Branson and have a permanent performance schedule there.
I
n 1989, Shoji Tabuchi opened his first theater in Branson (converting the Ozarks Auto Museum on West 76 Highway into a theater). He then built a new theater on Shepherd of the Hills Expressway in 1990; while Mel Tillis moved into Shoji’s old theater. In 1990-1991 several nationally known stars such as Jim Stafford, Ray Stevens, Mickey Gilley, and Moe Bandy opened their own theaters. Along with these national stars many homegrown shows also had theaters. The Lowe Family featured their show and hosted nationally known stars like Conway Twitty, Loretta Lynn, Vern Gosdin, Waylon Jennings, and others. 76 Music Hall (now known as the Grand Country Music Hall) became the first theater to have three different shows a day performing in different time slots. Buck Trent became the first nationally known star to open a morning show.
T
opening in Branson drew the attention of “60 Minutes”, which aired an episode about Branson on December 8, 1991, and called Branson the “live music capital of the entire universe”.
A
ndy Williams, built his theater in Branson, opening on May 1, 1992, as the Moon River Theatre. The Glen Campbell Goodtime Theatre opened in 1994 starring Glen along with his “Goodtime Band,” daughter Debbie Campbell, the Matthew Dickens Dancers, and comedian ventriloquist Jim Barber. In 1998 the Acrobats of China arrived in Branson making them one of the first international shows to call Branson home. They opened their theatre, the New Shanghai Theatre, in 2005. In 2006 Dick Clark’s American Bandstand Theatre opened and is the most recent new theater to be built on Route 76. Branson has continued to add theaters (the most recent new theater is Sight & Sound Theatre) and shows; and today refers to itself as “the live music show capital of the world”.
B

3 Redneck Tenors
Recalling the wild tale of how they became the singing sensations they are today, these talented singers take us on a rollicking gallop from babies, to jail bait, to theatrical auditions and on to the operatic stage. These boys have seen it all, sing it all and make us laugh ‘till we double over, reminding us that in life, it is not the destination, it’s the journey. Get ready for one sidesplitting ride as we go on an excursion only the 3 Redneck Tenors could have experienced, delighting audiences with their vocal prowess and a smorgasbord of songs and music ranging from Gospel, to Country, to Broadway, as well as Pop and Classical.

Table Rock Lake This lake has over 750 miles of shoreline and is home to several types of Bass (largemouth, smallmouth, white, and Kentucky spotted to name a few) Bluegill, and Crappie.
