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.
