    Went to see Dean Z (Elvis) and it was ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!! I cried the whole show and after. He is so kind to EVERYONE and understands our passion and love for Elvis and he makes sure we all get the tribute and memories we all dream and want. Will continue to go every chance I get

    Dean Z Elvis Show Wow! Best show I have ever been to! Dean Z is the real deal! He was awesome at impersonating Elvis! Best music and stage entertainment ever. You cannot skip this show if traveling to Branson, MO! Request front row to this show! Women are aloud to go up during his kissing performance song and scarf hand outs. So fun!

    Dean Z puts on such an amazing show! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very family friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] He honors military veterans and first responders, firefighters, teachers, etc. He stays after the show to meet whomever wants to meet him for autographs and pictures or just to talk.

    My wife and I attended the Matt Gumm and Company show at the Clay Cooper Theater in Branson last Saturday (10/4/2025). Matt is a very funny guy, but he's also a talented singer and musician. The rest of the cast are also very talented, and his band consists of some of the best musicians in Branson. If you're looking for great comedy and awesome singing/music, check out Matt Gumm and Company. It's a great show!

    Danny Z Elvis Tribute- Best you will ever see

    This was the highlight of our trip. I love his energy and his tribute to Elvis. He is engaged with his audience and shares the heart felt love of the performance that Elvis did. He meets his fans and shares his stories. You must see him to appreciate his performance!

    We always enjoy the Clay Cooper show and the Dean Z show and this past week we got to enjoy the Terry Bradshaw show. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a very comfortable theater.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] That always has a first class show, great concessions and a fantastic staff. If you are in Branson, this is a must see theater.

    Pros: Easy to book tickets online and pick up at box office before show Haygood show was entertaining and well put together Large theatre with balcony Cons: Parking can be a challenge Gratuitous selling of merchandise and DVDs Show can sell out quickly Pro tip: Get there early so you can get your snacks and check out their gift shop. Place fills quickly with all the bused in people.

    This show was absolutely "F" "U" "N" ! We had an amazing time! My wife and I are from Los Angeles, we have near "0" exposure to country music, but that don't matter cause we had an amazing time! The one thing we constantly felt and connected with was all these people who worshipped our Lord and Savior, our loving God of all things, Jesus. This trip here to Branson was a joy! We hope we can someday pass this way again.

Reminded me of my Grandparents and family singing alongs at our get togethers. The Stampede was very entertaining! Loved how the North and South duel it out - we were North! We won!!! As for the dinner... that startled me when our waiter just threw down a small rotisserie chicken onto my plate. Was not expecting that! Felt really barbaric... but I guess that's a cowboys life back in the day, around the campfire lol. I would recommend going. Fun time! I didn't get any pictures of the food because there was just way too much going on

    I was looking forward to this part of our vacation but I just didn't love it. Our server was very…read morenice. She chatted with us at the beginning of the show and we were in the first row which I thought would be a great seat! You can order drinks via a QR code and someone from the bar area will deliver them and they will check everyone's ID no matter how old you are. The drink was not good. Tasted very watered down for lack of flavoring and alcohol. You do get a non alcoholic drink included I ordered the unsweetened tea and it took her a little bit to get it because it's not one of the pitchers they keep handy. She refilled everyone else's drink somewhat regularly and when I asked for a refill she had to serve dessert first which I understand the schedule but then it was pretty much almost towards the end of the show before I got a refill. Once they start serving the food the show is happening and as our server is quickly serving food down the row she is saying something about napkins covering your plate and before I can register what is happening I feel all of this sand hit me in my hair, on my shoulder and in my food. She knew when it was coming and it only happened once during the show but I feel like that was something she could have mentioned when she had our full attention before the show started. Myself and 3 other people in the row needed new plates of food. I know it's hard to make food for that many people all at once but the food was just ok. The chicken was good and the soup was ok. Pork was dry and corn was very chewy. As for the show the horse riding was fine. I think skeeter made the show with her comedy and I liked when they started the competition portion. Overall I wouldn't do it again and may not even suggest it to people to see unless you think it's something your kids would really love.

    We had a wonderful evening aboard the Silver Dollar City Showboat. We upgraded to Captain's Club…read moretickets, and it made all the difference. From where we started at the White River Landing, everything was smooth and well organized. The landing itself is charming, especially in the evening with string lights and a couple of shops designed to match the showboat's vintage aesthetic. There was a dedicated priority boarding line for Captain's Club guests that started on time and before general admission, so we avoided any wait. Staff efficiently guided us through boarding (complete with photo opportunity with an option to purchase later) and to our seats in the dining area. The dining experience was outstanding thanks to our attentive server and other dining staff. With Captain's Club, we enjoyed a menu to choose from, were served ahead of the general admission guests, and the food arrived quickly. During dinner, the show with the Rivertown Ramblers was energetic, also well-organized, and highly entertaining. The talented vocalists and musicians delivered a fantastic performance. The combination of the scenic cruise, great food, priority service, and live entertainment made for a memorable evening and one of the highlights of our Branson trip. I highly recommend the Showboat to anyone visiting and definitely upgrade to Captain's Club if you can.

A meal of baked chicken, pot roast, green beans, mashed potato with gravy, Mac n cheese, salad and roll are all enjoyed during. Menu looks like it might be updated seasonally with the spring dessert being a vanilla cake with berry sauce and cream. I added coffee and our wonderful server brought it promptly. The Rivertown Ramblers are now the headliners. Seeing them perform before at Silver Dollar city I knew they were good but they have really put together a great show for all ages. Truly appreciate the way the honor birthdays, anniversary's, and veterans. A 40 minute intermission and the invitation is given to explore the boat meet the captain and take in a truly beautiful table rock lake sunset. They told us to arrive an hour before our ticket time but we I think we would have been okay even coming 30 minutes before. It's well organized but having that extra time for our first visit was fine. After dinner and disembarking we tried the trail around the lake because we were still full. Would 100% do it again. The boat bathrooms were a little different and stopped flushing but staff were quick to respond. Overall staff were great and attentive! Nice big parking lot. My only advice is avoid the 2nd tier side seating. Go for the floor or 2nd tier facing the stage. The side seating visually cuts off half the stage.
