Branson?
We're thinking about a drive to Branson to see what all the shoutin's about.
Any suggestions as to the highlights (regardless of price) that we should take in over about a three- or four-day stay? Thanks |

Not a typical theme park, "SDC" as the locals call it, is a park themed in the 1890's and features master craftsmen demonstrating their crafts, as well as great entertainment, good food, and lots of great things to see and do. You probably want to see the Showboat Branson Belle, which is an authentic "showboat" complete with great entertainment and terrific food. The shows have changed a great deal in the past few years, moving from the "big names" to the smaller shows. Despite this, the quality hasn't suffered. Many of the smaller shows are great. Last season there was a show called "Swing, swing, swing", which was a fantastic show. I don't know if they are still there this season, but if they are, I can recommend them. Of course, you have the big names like Mickey Gilley, Andy Williams, Moe Bandy, Yakov Smirnof, and I believe that this year Ray Stevens is back. Of course you can count on these shows to provide top entertainment. Personally, I think Shoji Tabuchi is overrated, although his bathrooms are quite nice. I don't think it is possible to have a BAD time in Branson. Em Be careful what you wish for.... |

A couple of months ago, one of the dancers in that show came running across a ballroom to me saying "They tell me I just have to dance with you!" Well, I'd been trying all week-end to get a dance with her but I was never quick enough as she was one of the hottest dancers there. I know all four of the Swing dancers in that show and have danced with two of 'em. __________________________________________________ ________________ Thirty years ago today, BART began trans-San Francisco Bay Service http://geocities.com/dancefest/ http://geocities.com/iconoc/ ICQ: http://wwp.mirabilis.com/19098103 IClast at SFbay Net |
