October 2005 Blog ArchiveBranson Critic (Branson Shows Online Magazine) provides reviews of Branson Shows as well as show descriptions, information, pictures, and a theater directory. Over 100 Branson Shows to review. October 29, 2005 Storyteller
"I can’t think of a show in Branson that would appeal to as many people as Darren Romeo’s show. Not only is it a wonderful concert, it’s a breathtaking illusion show. Never before has there been such a unique blend of magic and music on the same stage, and Darren proves himself to be a consummate performer onstage. I went to the show only expecting to see magic; I did not imagine I would be so impressed with Darren’s singing voice..." Continue
► October 29, 2005 Passionate Fans
"Just try to sit through ANY Branson show when you have a passion for just ONE!! I went through that recently (I won’t mention the name of the show I was at) but it was all I could do to keep from walking out of that one and going straight to TONY ROI and the Elvis Experience!..." Continue

"Hello Branson Critic!! My name is Tara, and my mother, Shirley, wrote the loooooooooong review about Tony Roi, which you titled “Screaming Women.” I would like to add my voice and my support for Tony..." Continue

► October 28, 2005 A Breath of Fresh Air
"I just found your website after doing a search for Branson show on the internet. I think it is great that you have created an awards show for regular fans to have a say in who wins. I must say that I have not seen all the shows or performers but I have seen a few of them. I agree with the vote so far in a couple of the categories. Darren Romeo is without a doubt the Best Performer and has the Best Show in Branson..." Continue
► October 28, 2005 Wonderful Sense of the Era
"A trip to Branson for my family just isn't complete until we see the Haygoods show! We love the location of the theater (Truman is a great side street to use to access the theater & avoid HWY 76). The theater is also very "user friendly" with its clean restrooms, elevator, snack bar, and comfortable seats with cup holders...." Continue

"I just can not say enough good about Tony Roi's Elvis
Experience!
► October 27, 2005 Who Let the Dawgs Out?!
"The Horn Dawgs and Bucky Heard are awesomely wonderful. Bucky has a voice that would beat anyone on American Idol hands down. I wish my boyfriend could sing like that and I really wish he looked like that too..." Continue

(BRANSON, MO) – "One of the most significant artists in all of country music is coming to Branson next year.

► October 27, 2005 How Much Does Quality Matter?Question: Hi. I really enjoy your site and have been following it for the last few months. My question has to do with the quality of the reviews figuring into the voting. Do you editors look at 'well-written, lengthy reviews' the same as some of the barely literate comments that I've been seeing posted? Thanks, Ada Answer: Thanks for the vote of confidence, Ada. We enjoy all reviews because we appreciate anyone who takes the time to participate on our site and they are never to be criticized for their opinions. We have had to delete some submissions that criticized other reviews, although this is rare. As regards the way we consider quality for the awards program, we have made it very clear that all reviews receive one vote, however, the perception of the editors is influenced by quality reviews. Let us explain: Continue
► October 26, 2005 Out of the Mouths of Babes
A rural school district in Central Missouri had the opportunity to make a trip to Branson in mid October, 2005. The middle school choir performed at Silver Dollar City and went to see Darren Romeo: The Voice of Magic. The following reviews are from some of the kids and adult sponsors who went on the trip... continue
► October 25, 2005 1999 in Hamburg, Germany
"I met Tony Roi first time 1999 in Hamburg, Germany, when he was promoting his own music of “hand in hand”. I was blown away of his incredible voice, look and charisma. I saw an outstanding talent and met a nice guy with a great personality. Not knowing, that he is an “Elvis impersonator” in the States..." continue

"I’ve seen all of the top four shows on the review page.

► October 24, 2005 Screaming Women
"If anyone had told me last spring that I would be sitting down to write a rave review about some guy in Branson, Missouri, I’d have said they were crazy! AND, if anyone had told me that at age 62, I would become a card-carrying member of a fan club for the first time in my life, I’d have known for sure they were crazy!! It turns out it’s ME who is crazy – over one fantastic entertainer by the name of Tony Roi!! " continue

► October 23, 2005 Solve The Murder
"...also, their murders in around this old theater in downtown Branson. We didn't even know that it was there. The Sisters told us it was built in 1935 and much more. But I like the idea that I could touch these old rocks and think about what it was like in 1935..." continue
► October 22, 2005 Terry Wayne Sanders
"Terry Wayne Sanders (best known as Homer Lee), a Branson, Missouri living legend, is very rarely Terry Wayne Sanders. Terry plays a plethora of characters that have been developed over a mind-boggling 25-year span, as a Branson entertainer. Terry has been around longer than many buildings in the area and he is 'one great comedian." continue DH 10:30 Permanent Link ► October 21, 2005 Horn Dawgs
They are an awesome group of guys from various shows; having fun and jamming like they have never jammed before. Bucky Heard heads this amazing band with his vocals, and man does this boy know how to wail those notes. He sings the rock n roll and can rap to those romantic ballads that just melt your heart. Continue DH 8:30 Permanent Link ► October 20, 2005 Peter the Adequate
While it was an amazing trick, the most amazing part was that he then got me to get down on one knee and propose to my wife all over again, as I placed her ring back on her finger. We spent the rest of the evening talking about things we could do to keep the romance fresh in our marriage after 37 years.

We drove 225 miles one way to see TONY and some times to and from in one day! We have seen his show seven times since he has been at the Music City Center Theater and are planning to see him at least once every month the rest of the season. We only discovered him in May and Continue DH 8:30 Permanent Link ► October 18, 2005 Tony is just phenomenal!!
I was still panting when I told her how INCREDIBLE this guy was as Elvis. E.P. didn’t believe me…and she still doesn’t! E.P. saw Elvis numerous times and was even among the throng of mourners in Memphis during his funeral in August of ’77. Well, do I have a surprise for her in June! Elvis is alive and well and living in Branson! Continue DH 5:30 Permanent Link October 18, 2005 Laughing Till It Hurt
I want to tell anyone who reads this to GO AND SEE THE HUGHES BROTHERS SHOW! You will thank me later. The Hughes Brothers show is definitely one of the greatest shows I have ever seen. Not just including Branson. It seemed to me Continue DH 3:30 Permanent Link October 18, 2005 Seven Brothers And A Sister
Let me start off by saying that I am currently performing in
Branson (my first year). So why would I write a review which
would encourage people to go to a show other than mine? Because,
after seeing many of the shows in town, it is the one show I go
back to over and over again. When ever I feel a need for a
little emotional boost or just want to relax and really enjoy
myself, I rush up to the Music City Center and settle into one
of their oh so comfortable seats to see and experience an
evening with The Haygoods.
Continue ► October 18, 2005 In A Class All By Itself
Let me first say that I love Branson and that I fly there
often from Canada to see the sensational array of shows that are
presented there. Needless to say that I am overwhelmed every
time. As much as other shows impress me, for me, there is one
that is truly second to none – the brilliantly DH 1:30 Permanent Link ► October 18, 2005 Spectacular Musical Production
The Dutton show in Branson is a must see spectacular musical production that will capture the attention of both children and adults. The Dutton family have a precious unity of love and sharing in their show. The babies who sat on their mother's laps while the mom's sang brought tears to my eyes Continue DH 9:27 Permanent Link ► October 18, 2005 Deserves The Awards
I believe that Darren Romeo deserves the awards for “Best Performer” and “Best Show” for many reasons. His show is wonderful, and he is a talented, kind, and caring individual who always puts others before himself. Continue DH 8:27 Permanent Link ► October 17, 2005 Magnificent 7 P.M.
The curtain went up right on time to reveal a very classy stage. There was a band/orchestra of course. However, they were not the focus of the show. They almost seemed to be part of the set. The stage was very big and decorations were at a minimum. The entertainment was allowed to take center stage. Continue DH 8:27 Permanent Link ► October 17, 2005 Justin Long of Springfield
Justin Long of Springfield, Mo., is the fourth semi-finalist to
qualify for the finals of Doug Gabriel’s Branson Spotlight as

Grand Country Music Hall’s very own quartet New South joins Gene
Williams on this week’s Lucas Oil sponsored Gene Williams
Country Television Show with a surprise guest, Nora Lee Allen
from the Grand Ole Opry. DH 8:27 Permanent Link ► October 16, 2005 Wings of the World
You may be wondering what Wings of the World is? I really did not know what to expect when I arrived for a visit in September of 2005. From the brochure and title, I knew there would be birds, but beyond that I was clueless. Continue DH 8:27 Permanent Link ► October 15, 2005 Ray Stevens Show
Branson will lose another headliner icon at the end of the 2005 season. Ray Stevens has announced that he will be retiring at the end of the year. He wants to spend more time with his family. This will be sad for Branson, as he is truly a legend. Continue Lori H. 8:27 Permanent Link ► October 14, 2005 Roy Rogers and Dale Evans ShowIt wasn't "happy trails" for me the day my retired cousin decided to fulfill a dream by purchasing tickets to the Roy Rogers and Dale Evans Museum during a recent family reunion, but within the hour I was singing along with Dusty Rogers and the Highriders, wiping a tear as images of his famous parents flashed on the screen and chomping at the bit to tour the adjacent museum.
