The Haygoods
Branson isn't just a great place for families to see shows, it's an amazing place for them to perform in them. The Haygoods show stars the Haygood siblings, ranging in age from 26 to 10 in an amazing show of musical prowess. Between the eight siblings they play more than 20 instruments and have mastered the art of a capella singing. Their show combines singing, dancing, pyrotechnics, acrobatics, and more than a pinch of humor. Entertaining for adults and children alike, The Haygoods is one of the most popular shows in Branson for a very good reason.
SIX
This show contains the musical skills of six real life brothers. Performing everything from traditional ballads, to Broadway hits, to heart wrenching a capella solos, this show is a wonderfully enticing mix of musical genres. Just when you think this might be a little over the head of your six year old, I'll let you in on a little secret. SIX requires absolutely no band or instruments. "Why?" you may ask. Well, because they make all of the instrumental sounds with their mouths. That's right, they make funny noises with their teeth, tongue, and lips. What kid doesn't love to make strange noises and hear others do the same! So, all in all, this show provides truly excellent music for the parents and a healthy dose of humor and laughter for younger kids.
Circle B. Chuckwagon and Cowboy Show
What young boy, or girl, doesn't love cowboys? What parent hasn't seen, and enjoyed, a few Western movies in their day? Well, this show combines the two in an electric mix of old fashioned and modern entertainment. You will be transported into an Old Western town where you can laugh at the antics of the somewhat addled townspeople while munching on free popcorn. Yup, you will have popcorn to feed your kids, so there won't be any complaining from that direction! Before the show you will be treated to a belly filling dinner of cowboy favorites. Roast beef, baked beans, biscuits, applesauce, and more are all on the menu!
Dolly Parton's Dixie Stampede
This show will literally awe your little ones, leaving them with mouths wide open and eyes fixed in delight. Here you will be able to see prancing horses, racing ostriches, and so much more while enjoying a delicious four course meal. While children may enjoy all of the animals and old fashioned costumes, parents will be drawn into the hilarious plot that puts a spin on the traditional North versus South tale. With a preshow and a gift shop, this well rounded show will appeal to every member of your family!
