About Andy Williams

In the early 1960's, Andy Williams was the star of his own weekly television show, The Andy Williams Show.  The show won three Emmy Awards for Outstanding Variety Program.  Eventually, Andy cut back and reduced his show to three specials per year and the Andy Williams Christmas specials became highly popular. He recorded eight Christmas albums and with the huge and lasting popularity of his Christmas special, he became affectionately known as 'Mr. Christmas.' 

About the Moon River Theatre

After Andy's brother invited him for a visit to the beautiful Ozark Mountains of Branson, Missouri, Andy decided to build his own theatre in Branson.  On May 1, 1992, Andy became the first non-country entertainer to open a theatre in Branson when he opened the stunning Andy Williams Moon River Theatre, named after his signature song, 'Moon River.'  Thereafter, throughout the months of November and December, Andy hosted his annual Andy Williams Christmas Show at the theatre.  The venue has also hosted big names like The Osmonds, Pat Benatar, Glen Campbell and more.  The 48,000-square-foot building sits on 16 acres of beautifully landscaped property with waterfalls and a rippling stream. It is the only theatre to ever be featured in Architectural Digest.
