Excellent Reviews

9-5-06: Summer vacation gave this group a wonderful time to recoup and refresh themselves. On Monday, August 28, 2006 I was back there to view the Branson Brothers with Jimmy Ponder's return. He looked terrific and did a "WOW" job of singing, dancing, and following Homer Lee's (Terry Sanders) humor. I came from Illinois just to welcome Jimmy back and he treated all of us to a show worth a every minute we were there. The crowd was thoroughly into the performance. Andre Sheppard and Dee Allen continued to bring a greatness to the songs as they do every night. Andre's voice has a quality to it that sparks the songs. Dee has a great following of young and old alike.

The Band was fabulous also. Dave has selected some interesting music for them to play during both halves of the show. Brad Allen is by far one of the best drummers on stage in Branson. He certainly leads into the comedy and music to prepare the audience for the changes that appear before our eyes. Terry Sanders as Homer Lee, Grandma, one of the Supremes, Fred Smoot "River Dance" and so many more characters gives this show a diversity that is not comparable. On this particular evening I would state emphatically this was the best show they have done all summer. I am so thrilled to have some of these folks as my friends. They exemplify what Branson entertainment is as well as what family fun can be. They have a true Christian spirit about themselves when they sing the gospel songs and a vibrant joy from the variety of artists' music they sing in the second half of the program.

The comedian was hysterical. He was the life of the show, ooh that Terry Sanders, he is the best in town, And the band is wonderful you would think they has been playing together for ever ! The madly they came up with is amazing, I have already seen this show to or 3 time this year.

I think that the Branson Brothers Show is the best show I've ever saw in the time that I have been living here in Branson.I especially love that singer Andre' Shepard he can really blow the show away.I would recommend this show to any of my friends.I've also enjoyed Natalie Nicole and her mom Diana,ooh and that comedian Terry Sanders will just have you cracking your sides with those unknown halarious jokes through the whole entire show.This is truly the best show that you'll ever see.

Review from Sharon

Having just enjoyed the Branson Brothers twice this last week end, all I can say is that they ROCK. Opening night in February was terrific, but the improvements with growth are fabulous. Natalie Nicole has really become the asset to the stage of her dreams. Diana Ponder is swinging with a variety of songs that thrill the heart. Terry Sanders with his multitude of personalities keeps everything hopping. He makes the show one unique and divine experience!

Personally I thank Jimmy Ponder for keeping "the five" together to complete the stage group......Dee Allen, Brad Allen, Diana Ponder, Terry Sanders, and himself. The unity of love they have and the work ethic they put forth to entertain us is so well worth the time the audience gives to them.

On Friday, June 9th, the special people invited to participate in the show touched my heart beyond all measure. Saturday "Fred Smoot" was on a roll so humorous that my funny bone was tickled greatly. The addition of Andre to the singing group has added so much more to the quality and the band is top notch.

My many thanks again to Jimmy for working this out for all concerned!

I believe this is one of the best shows in town. I know that it is a new show that just opened in Feb. 06, but in my opinion it should be ranked as the best new show in Branson. Many of the entertainers are not new to this area. Homer Lee (the comedian has been performing in this area for over 27 years) He was voted last year as best comedian and he well deserves this honor, by seeing this show you will see why. They have a lovely mother and daughter singers in different areas. The trio of Jimmy, Dee, and Andrea is very good. This is a must see type of show. This is the first time I have ever reported on a show.

A good combination of music and comedy. The comedian was hysterical, he was the life of the show. Seating was good, I was able to see the whole stage from our seats. I would recommend this show to anyone wanting a variety of music, these guys really put on a great show. My only problem with it as a whole was the light show. It was perfect with the exception of the white lights on stage left and right, they paned the audience throughout the show. The white lights were so bright it might catch you off guard.

I am so happy that these guys started their own show! Watching them perform this year you can see how much they are enjoying it! You can tell that they picked out material they love to perform. I am so happy that they are trying to appeal to the younger crowd. Instead of doing all sorts of country - they stick with more current numbers, the gospel section has great harmony! The second half pays respect to all sorts of music - from Tony Orlando and Dawn to the Rolling Stones (you cannot find that anywhere else in Branson!) Something else that has impressed me is the costumes - they are all classy! Not a lot of glitz and glamour - when you are there you aren't overwhelmed with flash - you just catch the great voices that are there!

You would think the band has been playing together for ages! The medley they came up with is amazing - truly entertaining! I have already taken 2 sets of company to see this show this year (and it has only been open a month) and it is a must see for anyone who comes to visit me! (At least if they want to spend time with me in Branson!) Good luck to these guys, they have a great show going and I hope they exceed their own expectations!

Fast paced, high energy. These performers seemed very relaxed and to actually be enjoying themselves on stage-not as if they can't wait to get offstage. The music is very fresh and different from other shows in town. Show is 'clean' so take the kiddies. Time passes by too quickly.

The theatre is a bit older but improvements are being made. There isn't much elbow room but I've been in less comfortable seating around town.
