Went to the Little Opry Theater in Branson, MO to see the Peterson’s bluegrass family. It’s a small venue and it has great seating allowing you to feel up close. It has other entertainers who perform there. Reasonable pricing. It’s in a complex with the IMAX theater, MacFarlans Restaurant, and several kinds of shops.

We went to the Fox Theatre to see Diana Ross. I hadn’t been to the Fox Theatre since I was a kid, so I was a little excited about going and taking my wife for the first time. If you have never been, you’re missing a beautiful venue. The Fox is old style glamour at it’s finest. The Diana Ross concert was great as she sang all the favorites from her career. Now granted she’s not 30 anymore and she had to accommodate for the lack of range, but she did put on a show. Seeing people of every ethnic group having a good time was fun. Now we sat down on the left side on roll G and were a little disappointed in the sound quality. I think we were to close to the speakers. But still had a great time. Traffic before the concert was a mess as road construction played havoc with people trying to get close. All in all as guy from St Louis I’m proud to have the Fox Theatre as part of my home.

The variety of music was amazing, and so was the whole show, but the patriotic finale was truly once-in-a-lifetime. I absolutely LOVED Clay's tribute to all who serve, the original song by Clay and his wife Tina, and most of all the Pledge of Allegiance being recited by Clay's son, along with their wonderful story about how in his son's school, they take turns reciting the Pledge every day, and a different student gets to recite the Pledge over the intercom each day. If all schools and performers got kids this excited about faith and loving their country, this country and the whole world would be a much, much better place. God Bless Clay and the entire Cooper family. I truly can't thank you all enough.

This is a smaller, intimate theater in Branson but we loved it. We saw the Journey tribute. The musicians also perform tributes of the Eagles, Joe Cocker and Adele, Aretha Franklin, Southern Rock (a variety of bands) and others. The owner was in the band and he is phenomenal! These are talented musicians performing in a smaller venue. We will definitely go back! As with all of the shows we see in Branson, the performers spent a few minutes after the show talking with the patrons.
