TOP 10 ROCK and ROLL REVUE
Let me tell you about the best new show in town. The Top 10 Rock and Roll Revue currently seen at the Branson Mall Theatre (next to Wal-Mart) will rock your socks off!
This show spans several decades of popular music-from the 50's to the 70's. From the doo-wop era, to a dynamite rendition of the "Killer" Jerry Lee Lewis, through Eric Clapton, you get great non-stop entertainment.
Darrell Croy begins with an intro and welcomes the audience. Then the curtain opens and you are launched into "That Old-Time Rock & Roll"! Many will recognize Darrell on the keys, Marvelous Marvin "The Hair" Short belting out the lyrics and wailing away on his sax, and Michael Lacy on the drums. Also contributing to the amazing vocals and musical expertise are Steve Ragsdale on guitar and Randy Hall on bass guitar. Rounding out this super group are two very cute, bubbly, energetic, and talented young ladies, Dana Currier and Jessica Morales.
The action is great; the girls are constantly dancing (with a little fun audience participation), and the costume changes will keep your head spinning. You‚ll hear familiar, favorite instrumentals, the mellow tunes of Sam Cook, the Supremes, the Steve Miller Band, Fleetwood Mac, Air Supply, and, of course, the aforementioned Jerry Lee. Let's just say that Darrell nails this segment in vocals, instrumentally, and in antics! A special treat is provided by Steve with his tribute to the great Eric Clapton (extremely well-done).
No self-respecting baby-boomer could see this show and not totally enjoy it, although it"s great, fun entertainment for all ages.
This show will make you feel so good, you‚ll no doubt want to take them all home with you! And you can-in a manner of speaking. They have a dvd, cds, pictures, cool hats, and T-shirts available which can be purchased during intermission and following the performance. The cast members are all friendly and make themselves available for signing autographs or just visiting with people.
To see this fabulous group, you can call the box office at the Branson Mall Music Theatre at 417-334-5412. The box office ladies are very friendly and helpful and are glad to assist you in making reservations. You can also check out their website at www.top10rockandrollrevue.
