We're excited. Everything we've heard from those who've been there, Branson, Missouri will be a very special experience in entertainment. We've been to shows in Tahoe, Las Vegas and Reno, so we're going to be critical, regardless of the compliments heard and read.
Three hours of driving through northwestern Arkansas' Ozarks and into southwestern Missouri, we descend on Branson, a "nothing" town until someone chose it to be the site of Midwestern entertainment. Driving Main Street to our RV park gave us the impression that there was little regulation as to signage and building code. What a conglomeration of tacky and showy places! Yet, we had made a stop at a "discount" ticket seller who gave us sufficient information and some good prices for two chosen shows and more information about how to get around town. The essence of the input was that there were no bad shows or entertainers.
Our Musicland RV Resort was well located within walking distance of some of the shows, perfect for us. Even with a little rain, we headed for our first night's choice, Jim Stafford's Theatre, with Jim himself being the headliner. Two solid hours of terrific music from him, his wife, and there sooo talented teenage son & daughter. We laughed. We got teary-eyed. We had such a good time! If all of Branson was to be like this, we underestimated the time we needed to spend here, because two shows wouldn't satisfy our new-found love of this kind of entertainment.
