Showboat Branson Belle launches new show and menu in 2011

Janice Martin performing the aerial fiddling segment of her act.

“When the Showboat Branson Belle launches its 2011 season it will be with a new show and a new menu,” said Tammy Johnson, the Director of Operations for the Branson Tourism Center. Johnson’s comments were based on a recent press release from Silver Dollar City announcing some of the changes that will be taking place in 2011 with their Branson attractions.

A completely new show for the 4:00 and 8:00 p.m. cruises aboard the Showboat Branson Belle will be called “ENCORE.” It  is billed as “an unforgettable musical journey” featuring two new headline acts to the Branson entertainment scene.

Janice Martin, is the only fiddling aerialist in the world. Martin, is heralded worldwide for her artistry as a world-class violinist, pianist and vocalist; has been dubbed by “The New York Times” as “A violinist with a strong personality” and “The Miami Herald” called her a “A stunning talent.” Those who attended Silver Dollar City’s World-Fest in 2010 saw her mesmerizing and exciting performance as part of the featured show, “Fiery Fiddles.”

“ENCORE!” will also feature “The Showmen, a new male vocal group. The Showmen are “a six-piece all male vocal group” who will be performing a broad variety of musical selections from the 60’s to today and electrify audiences with “a contrast of raw power and their amazing vocal range.” Comedian and magician Christopher James will be the master of ceremonies, the Showboats “signature live orchestra will provide the music and there will be exciting new “staging components” and costuming.

To complete the biggest changes the Showboat has undergone in her 15 year history, her chefs are putting the finishing touches on the new menu that will be used. “As wonderful as the entertainment experience has always been on The Showboat Branson Belle, in 2011 passengers will have a completely new experience,” said Branson Tourism Center’s Johnson.

She also points out that the 4:00 p.m. cruises December 26 through December 30 will be the last chance to see Todd Oliver and his famous “talking dogs” or the “Showstoppers Show” aboard the Showboat Branson Belle. Starting in 2011 Oliver will be performing at the Jim Stafford Theatre. Johnson anticipates that tickets for the last performances of Oliver will be in high demand and recommends advance reservations.

Branson on Daniel O’Donnell’s reduced 2012 touring schedule

Daniel O'Donnell cutting back on touring schedule after 2011.

“Congratulations to Daniel O’Donnell as he starts his 30th year in show business,” said Tammy Johnson, the Director of Operations for the Branson Tourism Center. “We are pleased to hear that even though he is cutting back on his touring schedule after 2011 that he will continue to perform in Branson,” she continued.

Johnson’s comments were in the wake of O’Donnell’s recent announcement of the celebration of his 50th birthday on December 12 and that he will be cutting back on his tour schedule at the end of 2011. The announcement, on O’Donnell’s website, said it will be “30 years this coming January since I started my career…I have now decided that at the end of 2011, I will take a break from extensive touring. This does NOT mean that I am retiring.”

O’Donnell went on to thank his fans for their support through the years and explained that his plan is to pick venues locations where he can do a block of shows together. He specifically said, “We will continue to do our block of shows in Branson Missouri.”

“O’Donnell just finished his 2010 Branson season on November 20 with a show combining Irish music,other favorites and Christmas music,”Johnson said. “Branson audiences and Daniel O’Donnell are an ideal fit. His shows are extremely popular and well received by our customers.”

She pointed out that his 2011 Branson schedule has not been announced, but as soon as it becomes available it will be posted on the Branson Tourism Center Show Schedule.

Branson Christmas show highlights in their own words

Jim and Ann Stafford in the Christmas scene Jim "magically" creates.

“A recent article entitled ‘Special Moments from Branson 2010 Christmas Shows,’ presents a unique view of some of Branson’s Christmas shows,” said Tammy Johnson, the Director of Operations for the Branson Tourism Center. The article reports that recently some of the performers and others involved with some of Branson’s most popular Christmas shows were asked if they would share “one of their personal favorite special moments” from their respective 2010 Christmas show.

“The result is a concise and unique view of each on each of  the Christmas shows in the article,” said Johnson. “What really makes it neat,” she continued, “Is that, in combination with each other, the total article paints a montage of the breadth of entertainment that Branson’s Christmas shows offer. Where else in America, except in Branson, Missouri, can a person see ‘Mr. Christmas,’ Andy Williams perform his Christmas Show, the spectacular “Miracle of Christmas” presented on a 300 foot surround stage, Tony Orlando and the Lennon Sisters Christmas Celebration and dozens of other quality Christmas shows of every type and variety?”

Johnson goes on to point out that Branson’s shows are just a part of the excitement and spirit of Christmas in Branson. Branson’s Ozark Mountain Christmas is filled with activities and attractions for the whole family such as drive through Christmas light displays, Old Time Christmas at Silver Dollar City and some of the best shopping available anywhere.

Article excerpts:

Jim Stafford Show – Cindy Merry, the marketing consultant for the show, says the moment would be when the Christmas segment starts with the almost magical creation of a beautiful Christmas scene from a bare stage while Jim is singing an original song he wrote, “Oh Boy Its Christmas Time.”

Presleys’ Country Jubilee – Steve Presley said it would be the opening of the Christmas segment with the combination of the message of Christmas and the acoustical rendition of “What Child is This,” because it explains the reason for the season and sets the mood for the whole Christmas segment.

Johnson said that the article highlights special moments from a dozen other shows and “reminds Branson visitors that Ozark Mountain Christmas is the busiest part of Branson’s season suggesting that they make advance reservations for shows and lodging.” She offers the free personal services of the Branson Tourism Center (BTC), one of Branson’s largest and most respected vacation planning services and their Branson Vacation Specialists, for additional information, tickets and lodging arrangements.

A little help in planning a great Ozark Mountain Christmas experience

Silver Dollar City's “Gifts of Christmas Holiday Light Parade” winds its way toward the City Square and the five story Special Effects Christmas Tree.

“Branson’s 2010 Ozark Mountain Christmas is a wonderful thing to experience,” said Tammy Johnson, the Director of Operations for the Branson Tourism Center. In an article entitled “Plan for a Branson Christmas in the heat of summer,” published during the 100 degree heat of last summer, she said that it was the busiest season of the year in Branson and recommended that advanced reservations be made for lodging and shows.

She also said, “During Branson’s regular season there are periods when shows and lodging fill up. However, during Ozark Mountain Christmas, particularly with the more popular shows and lodging establishments, that situation increases greatly.” The article points out that not only do the chances of non availability increase, but the chances of getting the best show seats, choice of accommodations and the best prices decrease the longer one waits.

Now, actually into the second week of Ozark Mountain Christmas, with some of the busiest times of the year coming up in the next few weeks, Johnson again encourages those coming to Branson for Ozark Mountain Christmas to make show and lodging reservations ahead of time to ensure availability and avoid frustration. She says that many of Branson’s more popular shows are booked for many performances and lodging is tight, but emphasizes that need not detour anyone from coming to Branson.

She points out that the Branson Tourism Center (BTC), is one of Branson’s largest and most respected vacation planning services and well on its way to selling its three millionth Branson show and attraction ticket. BTC enjoys an excellent reputation with Branson’s shows, attractions and lodging establishments which enables them, even at a busy time of the year like Ozark Mountain Christmas, to help their customers obtain not only the best seats and accommodations for shows, attractions and lodging but, in most cases, to save money when they are purchased together.

“There is much to consider when planning a trip to Branson and it’s not just shows and rooms,” she advises. For example, Silver Dollar City’s Ole Time Christmas is an outstanding event with so much to do, including great shows, such as “A Dickens’ Christmas Carol,” rides, craft demonstrations etc. that one day might not be enough time to experience all that Silver Dollar City and an Old Time Christmas have to offer. However, with a little advance planning one could purchase a two day ticket from BTC for the price of a one day ticket and have plenty of time to comfortably see and enjoy all that Old Time Christmas has to offer.

“The good news,” Johnson said, “Is that Branson Tourism Center (BTC) has a trained staff of Branson Vacation Planners who will answer any questions about Ozark Mountain Christmas or any other Branson show, attraction, or lodging. Their advice is free and there is never a service fee of any kind when purchasing tickets or lodging through the Branson Tourism Center.” BTC can be reached by either calling their toll free number 1-800-785-1550 or through their website www.BransonTourismCenter.com.

Paul Revere and the Raiders provide exclusive Branson opportunity

A recent article entitled “Exclusive Branson up close and personal event with Paul Revere and the Raiders” reported on an exclusive expanded meet and greet session that will be held with Paul Revere and the Raiders on December 4th after their 3:00 p.m. show. Tammy Johnson, the Director of Operations for the Branson Tourism Center said that the exclusive meet and greet for Branson Tourism customers is an expansion of the meet and greet tradition of Branson stars and entertainers meeting their audiences after the shows for photos and autographs etc. Click here for a list of Branson shows that have indicated they either meet and greet the audience during intermission or after the show.

Johnson said that Paul Revere and the Raiders routinely meet and greet all their audiences at each performance, but on December 4th they are going to have an exclusive additional meet and greet for Branson Tourism Center customers who attend that show. It will provide a special opportunity to meet with the legendary American rock band that has had such hits as “Louie Louie,” “Steppin’ Out,” “Good Thing,” “Like Long Hair,” “The Great Airplane Strike,” “Just Like Me,” “Hungry,” “Kicks” and “Indian Reservation.

Those Branson Tourism Center customers attending Paul Revere and the Raiders Show on that date will receive a voucher for the exclusive meet and greet at the Andy Williams’ Moon River Grill. Johnson notes that it will provide Paul Revere and the Raiders’ Fans with an “opportunity to enjoy great food and beverages while taking pictures, and talking with them in a more private and exclusive setting.” Johnson describes the event as part of the value added services that Branson Tourism Center provides for its customers.

“A Dickens’ Christmas Carol” is a special Christmas experience

The snow filled finale of a Dickens' Chirstmas Carol.

“What a wonderful fantastic show,” said Tammy Johnson, the Director of Operations for the Branson Tourism Center right after seeing “A Dickens’ Christmas Carol” recently at Silver Dollar City’s “An Old Time Christmas.” “It is yet another example of the quality and variety of Branson’s live shows,” she continued.

In a town like Branson, known for its live shows, one does not normally think of shows when thinking about its number one and longest running paid attraction, Silver Dollar City. However, here’s a little secret, Silver Dollar City puts on some of the best produced, entertaining and most unique shows in Branson including, but not limited to its productions of “Fiery Fiddles” during Worldfest, “Headin’ West” during the National Harvest Festival and, of course, “A Dickens’ Christmas Carol” as part of its Old Time Christmas.

This 60 minute musical adaptation of the Dickens classic novel was created specifically for Silver Dollar City and is not just a remarkable entertainment event, but a unique and special Christmas experience not available anywhere else. It features an extremely talented cast, “a live band, astounding special effects, stunning Victorian scenery and exquisite period costuming.” Combined with the spirit, energy and talent of the cast, the story of the skinflint Scrooge and his journey of change from “Humbug” to the true Christmas spirit comes to life in an exciting and inspirational manner.

“A Dickens’ Christmas Carol” is playing at the Opera House Theatre in Silver Dollar City and is included as part of your Silver Dollar City experience. The schedule of its performances, subject to change, as of November 7 is:

November 6, 13, 20, 26, 27 at 12:45, 2:15, 3:45, 5:45, 7:15 & 8:45
November 11, 12, 18, 19, 24, 28 at 1:45, 3:15, 4:45, 6:15 & 7:45
November 7, 14, 21 at 1:45, 3:15, 4:45 & 6:15
November 25 at 4:45, 6:15 & 7:45
December 2, 3, 9, 10, 16, 17, 19, 22, 23, 26 – 30 at 1:45, 3:15, 4:45, 6:15 & 7:45
December 4, 11 & 18 at 12:45, 2:15, 3:45, 5:45, 7:15 & 8:45
December 5, 12 at 1:45, 3:15, 4:45 & 6:15

Branson Tourism Center’s Johnson suggests, because of the show’s popularity and everything else there is to do at Silver Dollar City, those planning to see the show should plan their Silver Dollar City stay accordingly and leave enough time to see this wonderful and unique show. She also points out that those buying their Silver Dollar City tickets through Branson Tourism Center (BTC), one of Branson’s largest and most respected vacation planning services, get two full days at Silver Dollar City for the price of one.
