After driving by the Starlight theatre numerous times on our trip to Branson this past weekend, we finally stopped by to take a look inside this impressive looking building. We are GLAD WE DID. If you don't know what to expect when you see Lost in the 50's - expect to see Broadway Caliber singers with a 50's twist. My husband and I felt like this show was worth every penny.

The cast was filled with very beautiful singers and dancers, and every number just seemed to get better and better. The cast was very eager to sign autographs and answer questions after the show as well. We even participated in the game show they do at intermission, we weren't selected to play but we signed up to play the $64,000 question. We will always remember our night at Lost in the 50's

Being a "Child of the 50's " Myself . And having been raised during the BEST era's of American Music . I found i HAD to go see this show . And WHAT a production this show is ! There are "Shows " , and then there are "Productions ". The "Lost in the 50's" fully falls into one of the BEST Productions i have seen in Branson. The entire cast is incredible . They Sing and dance throughout the entire performance. The Song selection is incredible . From magnificent Solos . To marvelous 4 part harmonies . And the backing band ! wow ! HOT HOT HOT ! You will be HARD pressed to find a better backing band anywhere .

For comic relief , a Barney Fife tribute artist comes on at several times and will have you laughing out loud . He Does an incredible Barney fife. And the guy also plays a MEAN Harmonica as well. The performance moves along at a fast pace .And the 2 hours FLY by seamlessly. You will wish the show would never end on this one. It's THAT good ! I would HIGHLY recommend you go see this show . And also , you can purchase a dvd of the ACTUAL show you attend. It is recorded in REAL TIME and shown up on twin screens all during the performance. We purchased one , and were amazed at the quality when we got back home and watched it. It also brought back GREAT memories for us of the show. It's like we were right back in Branson again sitting in those theater seats . Great Show . DON'T pass this one by !

My family and I just returned home from seeing Lost in the 50's. We have seen the show in the past, but did not remember the singers being as talented as we did this past visit. We saw the Tuesday evening 8:00 show. When we arrived our daughters participated in a hula-hoop contest and even won free popcorn. The cast was EXTREMELY TALENTED, and very personable. Our favorite parts were the Marilyn Monroe song and the boys a capella numbers; especially the young man that sang "In the Still of the Night". Also, we were laughing all the way home about the girl performer who would play a kind of nerdy character; falling all over the place on her skates, in fact, I still chuckle to myself now as I remember her performance. I would highly recommend this show, and may even say it’s the best show of its kind that we have seen in Branson. I recommend you check out the Starlite Theater and its cast of "stars" this year in Lost in the 50's.

Wonderful, I so recommend this show to everyone. Fun from beginning to end. Non stop talent, Highest energy in Branson. We found the show to be of high caliber and class. It made us laugh a lot, sing, cry and say wow......The kids were not only talented but also personable. We loved it , Loved it, Loved it. The young people come off as ladies and gentlemen, but cute as buttons and sexy all at the same time. We saw one show where the girls were dressed so horribly that they were embarrassed and we could tell that they were. It was sad. But not this shows wholesome (just like the 50's) fun, happy , energetic, and so very uplifting. Bring me more of this caliber of talent.
Thank you Thank you Thank you

I have seen the show several times and it is AWESOME! The cast does a great job on everything that they do! Jeff is great as the "nerd"!! As well as everything else he does. I'm only 16 and this show made me love 50s music...so needless to say everyone will like it no matter how old they are. And all the cast members are very nice! They are always out in the lobby after the show for pix and autographs! I highly recommend this show! ...and for all the girls....the guys are very good looking!! LOL ;)

I've seen Lost in the 50's show several times. It is one of my favorite shows. The first time I saw David Farrea (sp). I couldn't hardly stay in my seat. He looks so much like the "young" Elvis. He is awesome!!! I like him in the Stuck in the 70's show too. I was born in the 50's and was in high school in the 70's. I guess I am really commenting on both shows on this message. I highly recommend both of these shows.

I have now seen this show two times. I sat close to the front both times, and was really into the entire show! I love the songs that were selected for this show, and the dancing is amazing. Every one of the performers is outstanding. If you watch that Jeff Wait guy (the "nerdy" one) he is (in my opinion) the best performer of the group. So much energy and enthusiasm...oh, and yes, he can sing and dance and all that jazz. The performers (well, at least the guys) are all super nice!

The parking lot seems a little crowded to me. The parking spots are small. I had a problem with their concession stand; I thought that the soda that they were selling for $1.50 was a little small. But the theatre itself is very nice, and clean and the employees there were all very sweet.

If you're looking for a great show to go to, check out Lost In the Fifties. I took my Mom tonight and she absolutely LOVED it!

I think that Lost in the 50's is so GREAT! The guys in it are so good! Jeff, Scott Leven, Jason, Matt, and Michael. The girls are good like Kelly, Dana, Michelle, and Tami. This show is the best ever everyone is so good in it. Scott is personally my favorite b/c he is the BEST SINGER AND DANCER.I love all the guys though they are all so nice and sweet. The girls are nice too and Michelle and Dana are my favorites, but Tami is cool too. I just wanna say that you should go see this show b/c not only are the nice, sweet, and fun, But they are very good at ''taking you back to the 50's''with good, clean fun, and Nedra Cole is so cool and she can sure as heck sing so awesome! That is all I have to say! Go see this show everyone! It is so good! Peace Up ''A'' town down! Bye bye bye!

This show is incredible!! I saw it in June and I am going back to see it again in November. Jeff was an incredible nerd, and he is so cute too! The cast is very talented and even if you think you don't like fifties music, I guarantee that you will love this show anyways. I am 17 and me and all of my friends love it. The guys are pretty cute too. The only disappointing thing I found out about the show is that Jason Robinson, the oh-so cute and very talented singer is married, lol. Anyways the other guys are cute and talented and the girls are really talented too. See this show!
