On the positive side: We see a number of shows when we are in
Branson. We especially want a good one for the last night of our
vacation. Pierce Arrow is at the top of our list for a great last
night show. It is definitely one of the better shows in Branson.
Adults will enjoy the quality of the music and their fabulous
comedian. If you have youngsters and/or teens they will enjoy the
cute guys and the high-powered, hi-tech format of the show.
On the negative side: This was our second time to see the show.
While it is still good, we thought the show was a little better the
previous time we saw it. The over use of mechanical devices like
moving screens and rolling platforms was more distracting than it
was entertaining. The musicians seemed confined to these moving
platforms and looked more like stage props than an integral part of
the show. Hopefully in future shows, Pierce Arrow will lessen the
use of these devices and return to a more music focused, format.
The weak point in the show is Kim Boyce. She is a good vocalist in
the right venue but she does not fit in with this show at all. She
does not engage the audience well. Kim appears as a misplaced filler
while the group changes outfits. They need to replace Ms. Boyce with
someone like Janice Copeland, currently with the Viva La Divas show.
Someone like Janice could come in and wow the house and interplay
with their comedian a little. Even with a few negatives, Pierce
Arrow is still a don’t miss show, when you visit Branson.

I have seen this show a total of 5 times in the past three
years!!!! my family and i all love it sooooooo much! the music is
awesome, they all have amazing voices! the show features all
different kinds of music not just one style, and then Kim is almost
a style all her own. she has an outstanding voice. the comedy is
hilarious, i have most of it memorized. the show is very family
oriented, we took some of our friends to see it and the parents all
the way down to their 5 yr old son loves it.
It also talks about our lord and savior Jesus Christ which makes
the show even better. the whole cast is very friendly and will talk
to u during intermission or after the show and sign autographs, they
are all very nice. this is definitely my favorite show in Branson. i
have the dvds, i have the cds, t-shirts, ect.... and i have seen it
5 times and i still want to go back! i absolutely love this
show!!!!!!!!!!!

 I attended this show in the fall of 2005 and I found it to be a
truly FANTASTIC show! The quartet was sharp in their harmonies and
inviting to the audience. The bass singer was amazing and "unhuman"
with just how low he could go!!! Simply an amazing feat! The lady
singer was fabulous and quite frankly, may be one of the best female
vocalists that I have ever heard. The band was tight and innovative
as well. Now lets talk about the lighting design. Leave no doubt
about it, this ranks with some of the best I have ever seen (this
includes the likes of the Eagles, Matchbox 20, Train, WallFlowers,
John Mellencamp and Garth Brooks). The comedy will leave you in
tears and your side in need of stitches! Best of all the song
selections varied in genre and time period. All members of the
family will enjoy the show.
Children will enjoy the skits and the various lighting and visual
effects. The theater is rather small in size (800 people?) but this
provides an intimate feel. The draw backs I find for this show is
the lack of refreshment selections at the food bar and fairly long
lines to the restrooms. However, I didn't come to the show for
supper and I hit the restroom before I left the hotel, or hey, run
across the street and use Shoji's restrooms, just hurry and be back
by the end of intermission. In closing, I think this will sum it up
best for all the people that have attended the show
previously......Honolulu, I want to go back and see Pierce Arrow
again soon!

Branson having been our second home for 30 yrs has given us the
chance to see most all the shows. Pierce Arrow is without question
one of the best. This group has vision and obviously demands a great
deal of the entire cast and crew.
Their talent speaks for itself in their ability to adapt mid stream
at changes within the group.
Denny Franks is an excellent MC and fine singer, as well as a
musician. I have watched Denny perform for years and it has been a
privilege. The same can be said about Dan Britton whose incredible
voice was the base of the famous Branson Brothers for many years.
Gary and Kim are incredible talents as is Casey with his great range
and voice control.
Then there is JD who manages to make me smile every time I see him.
What a nut!
The vocals are backed up by one of the finest bands you will see in
Branson with Bobby Blackburn, Deno, and the rest providing a wide
range of musical talent for your enjoyment.
This is a group of folks that aren't afraid to play outside the
loop, in that they change the show providing a great mix of what
works, and what could. Something a few of the other shows in Branson
could take a lesson from. Lets face it. Thirty year old material is
something those shows need to get rid of.
Pierce Arrow makes it all work. Keep it up guys!

I have been to Branson each summer for the past 9 years. This past
summer we decided to see Pierce Arrow. Let me just say that I heard
so much praise
over that show but was overall disappointed. The only good thing
about their show was the stage set up and, lights and comedy.
The comedian is wonderful, I love the
preaching skit it was funny. Kim Boyce can't sing that style of
country if her life depended on it. The quartet's harmonies were
sloppy and they focus on each other more than they do the crowd.
None of their voices blend well enough b/c they all have such total
different styles.
Dan is no longer the lowest bass
singer and he isn't even a bass singer. Dan is a growler in my
opinion. I just found this website or I would have reviewed sooner.
They have nice special effects and lighting but that's all.
Every time they start to sing a
medley of songs here comes the comedian. To me that makes it look
like they can't sing the songs well enough so they have to have a
distraction from their harmonies. I also saw Grand Jubilee while
there.
Now they have less special effects
but the quartet is so incredible they don't need all the extra stuff
to keep the audiences attention. Their harmonies are
wonderful. The guys in Pierce Arrow don't even seem to be as sincere
as what they let on. To me it is just an act they have for the
audience. I don
not recommend this show at all. My experience there was not as
enjoyable as I had hoped.

We've been to Branson a couple of times over thepast 10 years
and have
seen several shows, but we had never been to Pierce Arrow
before. Some
friends suggested we go to hear Pierce Arrow as they had really
enjoyed it.
On October 19,2004, my wife and I went to the afternoon
performance and
what a show they put on! To say we enjoyed it is putting it
mildly. Talk
about some fantastic singers and musicians, they are some of the
finest I
have heard. When Gary Koreiba came down the isle singing 'Mary
Did You
Know' it was so moving. Gary has one fine voice and he did such
a fantastic job of the song. Then there is Jarrett the comedian.
What a hoot he is!
Tosay he is funny doesn't do him justice. He was great! The show
was top
notch in our book. In fact we enjoyed the afternoon show so
much, we bought
tickets to go back to see the night show the following Wednesday
night and
we were not disappointed at all. The two shows are feature
different
music and comedy. These guys are
great and from their actions, words and songs, I would have to
believe
they are all Christians. Will we go back to hear them the next
time we are
in Branson? IN A HEARTBEAT !!

It's no wonder Pierce Arrow keeps winning
awards! Shoji may have the best fancy toilets in town, but
Pierce Arrow, right across the street, has the best show.
It is so refreshing to see superior entertainment shared by
performers who are having the time of their lives, bringing it
to us! It is evident they are having a great time, and
bringing the audience along for the ride. Renowned singer
Kim Boyce is a wonderful complement to the show. The
singers and musicians are great, and so is the comedy. Jarrett
Dougherty is hilarious, if a bit over the top at times, as he
plays various characters throughout the show.
Pierce Arrow is a must see in Branson.
If I could only see one music show, Pierce Arrow would be it!
