This country is famous for three major places in terms of performance – Broadway, Nashville, and, of course, Hollywood. But recently a fourth major venue has emerged on the scene – Branson, Missouri.
In 1959, two brothers started shows to entertain tourists who had come to the Ozarks to enjoy the glorious scenery and three pristine lakes. The word quickly spread, and this town of just 6,900 people now plays host to over 8-million visitors a year, and has now grown from those few humble shows to stand second only to Nashville itself.
Today, forty different theatres present over 100 live shows a year – almost all of them sold-out weeks in advance. Even Broadway can’t claim such success. Branson vacations can change people’s lives. If your days are too stressful maybe you should book one?
