Branson show has entertained audiences for 50 years
Branson, Missouri is the self-proclaimed Live Entertainment Capital of the World. And rightly so, with more than 40 theatres and nearly 100 different shows. Yet there’s one show that continues to stand alone.
Based on actual events surrounding the complicated lives of the early Ozark pioneers, The Shepherd of the Hills remains Missouri’s number one historical attraction and a show to be remembered by the entire family.
Hosted at the Shepherd of the Hills Outdoor Theatre, the show is based on author Harold Bell Wright’s epic story of love, loss, power, hardship, and the true meaning of life. The amazing performance includes more than 80 actors, 40 horses, a flock of sheep, several guns and rifles, an actual burning log cabin, and a vintage 1908 DeWitt automobile.
Originally published in 1907, the book is one of the first million-selling publications in the U.S. and the work truly sparked the beginning of tourism in the Branson area and the beautiful Ozark Mountains. The book has been translated into 7 languages and made into 4 movies.

Branson Show’s History and Branson, Missouri Vacation Package

Tucked deep in the heart of the beautiful Ozark Mountains, Branson has been home to some of Missouri’s best entertainment for 50 years! The Mabes, from nearby Springfield, Missouri started it all when they brought their musical show, the Ozarks Jubilee, to Branson in 1959. The show was performed in the basement of Branson City Hall, where they set up 50 folding chairs. But since their “theatre” was also the police station, they had to put away the stage after every performance. Brothers Bob, Jim, Bill and Lyle Mabe along with friend Chick-Allen soon became known at the Baldknobbers.
Another musical family also took its show to Branson. The Presley family originally played in a cave called the Underground Theatre of Lakeview. The cave was damp, instruments got wet and the location was out of the way. Meanwhile, Branson was developing into a popular base for travelers visiting Silver Dollar City theme park and Shepherd of the Hills, a farmstead/attraction featuring an open air production based on Wright’s novel. So the Presley Family moved out of the cave and built a simple metal building on the road west of Branson.
Today, Branson boasts 45 sparkling theaters and more than 56,000 theater seats (more than New York City’s Broadway district). And while you can still see the the Baldknobbers Show and the Presleys, you can also find a wide range of music, comedy, magic and family friendly variety shows throughout Branson.
