 I've been
going to see the Presleys for many years. I always celebrate my
birthday there every year. I always get a season pass, and go there
many
times. Hopefully I'll be taking my grand daughter to celebrate her
1st birthday in May. I'll be starting a new generation. So hopefully
she can go every year to celebrate her birthday! This is my grand
daughter with Cecil and Herkimer. She was 6 months old. I plan
to take her back for her 1st b-day in May!! She was getting sleepy
as you can see.
All of the Presleys are so talented
and there's not an instrument they can't play. I love all of there
costumes too. Danny Byrd, Chuck Crain
all the others are all talented to. Larry Turner does an awesome job
too! If you like country, gospel and all kinds of music you
will like this show!! I highly recommend it!! Any age group will
love this show! They got new seats last year, they are so nice!!

My 90-year old Dad said he'd like to take one "last" trip, that
being to Branson so he could see the Presleys. This is an extremely
talented group, with wonderful voices and musician skills. Their
gospel singing is exceptional, and I would have enjoyed more of that
in the program.
They have two comedians in the group (Herkimer & Cecil), which are a
bit slap-stick from my viewpoint, but which are a huge part of the
reason my Dad loves their show so much. He literally had tears
rolling down his cheeks every time they appeared. They have an
amazing array of beautiful costumes and are really quick-change
artists. Their patriotic closing was very emotional, and it was nice
that they had all the veterans stand.
They have a guest performer, a 16-year old girl who is attending
school in Branson. Her voice was just amazing and I expect to see
her going into Blues or Jazz and predict big things for her -- maybe
American Idol? She is worth the ticket by herself and I encourage
everyone to try to see her before she moves on.
I don't know if all the shows do this, but the Presleys announced
that you could take your ticket to their cashier and for the price
of another ticket get a season pass for unlimited performances for
the year. That is one terrific deal for anyone lucky enough to get
to Branson at least twice a year.
This is a very good family show -- and the seats were extremely
comfortable with lots of knee room.

Does your family have traditions? Say something special you do each
holiday? Well the Presley's have always been a tradition for my
family.
Now the show has changed completely since the days back in the cave
north of Springfield. However, all the changes are improvements that
make this show a long tradition for my family.
While I miss the outfits Miss Bessie made with such love, the
outfits they wear today sure are dazzling. I love it when Lloyd
Presley sings “I Don't Need No Rockin’ Chair.” After all these years
and so many performances, he still enjoys being on that stage each
night. You have no doubt of it when you watch him perform.
What keeps us coming back are the members of the Presley family
themselves, but wisely they have added many talented members to the
show. Jay's rendition of "Sold (The Grundy County Auction Incident)”
is really fantastic. You feel welcomed by everyone whether they are
part of the group on stage, or someone selling nuts or popcorn.
Being a country music fan, I really enjoy the many country tunes in
the show, but they have added other types of music. The gospel lifts
my spirit. The comedy by everyone, but especially Herkimer and Cecil
is enough to make your sides hurt from laughing.
I am glad that while I have beautiful memories of past shows, I can
take the newest generation of my family to the show and allow my
granddaughter to make her own memories of enjoying a long Branson
tradition.
The great new seats this year sure make the evening relaxing; and
with the season passes, we can go again and again to make new
memories and continue our "Family Tradition".
Don't wait to make your reservations, as the Presley's are very
often full.
