Andy Williams Moon River Theatre

Like others have said, the Rick Thomas show is a good one. The theater itself was horrendous to get into, from the parking lot, you have a hill to climb. In fact even the handicapped parking was a hill to climb, if you are in a wheelchair (that’s not motorized) you WILL need assistance to get in.
This review though, is more on the show that we saw and not the theater itself. Rick’s show was very good, he interacted with the audience quite a bit, he has some comedy in it, the show was about 2 hours long (good length). Had some good illusions, and good music, good dancing, would be one that I might see again.

Beautiful grounds, theater is slightly dated. Saw a wonderful Andy Williams tribute show featuring Jimmy Osmond. Even though the theater was only an eighth full, the energy level was high.

What a fantastic show! The show is perfect for families. Rick is constantly throwing out encouraging messages throughout his show. Everyone needs to see this show. We absolutely loved it!!!

We saw Rick Thomas the illusionist here. He was an awesome showman. He involved the audience and even added quite a bit of comedy into the show. Very fun and exciting!

Illusionist Rick Thomas is a must see. The show is funny and entertaining. Worth the money. Enjoyed meeting him and the dancers after the show. Good for families.

it has great shows, great venue, locations, water pond, parking is good, staff are good, great views to stage, lighting. make sure you get discount tickets — if they would just priced right would need NO coupons

Went to see illusionist Rick Thomas. All the magic tricks were great. A combination of tradition and original illusions.
The only complaint I had is the magician would tell stories between the illusions That had absolutely no bearing. There narrative of his dreams theme seemed forced and awkward.

We saw the Rick Thomas show last night and found it entertaining. It was a little cheesy and over the top in some parts — he definitely has a magicians ego. The tiger PSA was a bit much. Despite that, our 8 year old was quiet for 2 hours and was amazed. We liked how he involved the audience. As this was our first show in Branson we were pleased.

Nice, big theater with great seating! We saw illusionist Rick Thomas and the show was fantastic!

Saw Collin Raye last week — –AMAZING show! He sings his hits and NAILS some other songs including «Danny Boy”-«Story of My Life» by One Direction (the teens in the audience went nuts!!) and many others. This is truly a family show by a great performer, do not miss if you are in Branson, and it is worth a special trip just for this show!

Saw Rick Thomas Illusionist tonight.
Great show, well worth your time and money.
You won’t believe what he does.

This theatre is the worst place to attend a show with a mobility impaired person. We arrived 1 hour and 15 minutes early planning to drop off at the main entrance if upper level handicap were not available. The parking lot attendants would not let us access the upper lot even though there were available handicap parking spaces. They were very rude and inconsiderate and refused to let us even do «just a drop off». The lower parking lot had handicap parking but the problem with that is it is at a incline uphill to get to the theatre entrance and not easily accessible for someone with pulmonary function problems carrying a portable oxygen tank. There is only one level available by wheelchair for those who require a wheelchair and will have to sit separated from the rest of their party. There is no way to enter this theatre without walking up stairs and many people who had a hard time climbing steps had a hard time getting to their seats. This theatre needs to be torn down and rebuilt to meet handicap regulations. The restrooms require maneuvering steps to get there and the concession stand requires a minimum of 14 steps to get to it. Won’t attend another show at this theatre in the future.

Was in attendance for price is right live. Excellent show, seating. Wife Actually called down as contestant

The show we saw here was good. This review is about the theatre not the show. We had three mobility impaired elderly folks in our party including one in a wheelchair. There is almost never handicapped parking available at this theatre unless you arrive very early. That had never been a problem as you can usually drop off your group and go park.
However, yesterday the parking people arbitrarily refused to let us access the drop-​off area. They were most rude about it insisting we had to use the shuttle bus even though the bus was not equipped with a wheelchair lift. We ended up having to unload well away from the handicap entrance and walk in up a moderate hill. Totally unacceptable. The drop off area was clear and available so I never did figure out what the issue was. This affected not only us but several others that we saw while we unloading.
Later, I asked to speak with a manager and talked with the box office manager who was most apologetic and said he would speak to the parking lot people.
The only area for wheelchair users is the very last row of the theatre. All other areas are accessible via stairs. Not what I consider to be handicap friendly.
We will definitely think twice before attending any shows in this facility again.

My wife and I saw the Liverpool Legends on July 18, 2013. I must say, this is another MUST SEE show if you are in Branson. I did not have my expectations set too high before this show and was scared it might be a «clunker.» It was far from a «clunker.» These gentlemen were very good and quite personable. They played music from every Beatle Album I could remember and I can only wish they played another two hours. We were blessed to have Louise Harrison, the sister of George Harrison, answer questions about the Beatles during the intermission. This theatre is very beautiful, the staff is amazing, and the show was off the charts. It is unfortunate Mr. Andy Williams passed away. He will be missed by many.

Even though Andy «has left the building» his tradition continues. Fantastic Christmas Show, skilled talent, band and costumes. The only problem I had was getting in and out of the auditorium, poorly designed and causes jam up when leaving. A «Don’t Miss» Christmas show.

I made a pilgrimmage to Moon River Theatre to see the Christmas Show. I brought home some bottles of water with actual Moon River water, that I will forever treasure. The gift shop has tons of tacky, Bransonesque goods for purchase. I love the DVD and CDs of the beloved Andy Williams, that are for sale. There is also a post card of Andy, shirtless and I recommend that you by 1 or 2 or 10, of those. The theatre is definitely not ADA compliant. The overbearing parking attendants don’t allow you to drop off the elderly at the front door. The parking lot is, literally a 45 degree incline, but before you start scaling it to the theatre, be patient and wait for the shuttle that takes you to the front door. Upon entering the theatre, be prepared to climb the thousands of steps. There is even a step down into the restroom. Steps, steps and more steps, but Andy makes it all worth it!

I didn’t find a separate listing for the restaurant, so I’ll just post it here. I’ve dined here twice and both times enjoyed it immensely. My wife and I really don’t go to the shows while in Branson, which works out really well if you want to go out to eat. After the shows start, the restaurants are basically empty.
We dined at the Moon River Grill while the show was going on. As soon as the show let out, the place was packed, including Andy Williams sitting just feet away from us. Poor guy was constantly hounded for autographs.
Food was pretty good, nice selection, very fair prices and good service. I wouldn’t recommend it right after the show, (if you hate waiting for a table as I do), but they may take reservations. I don’t know for sure, but it would be worth a phone call.
Decorated with Andy Warhol prints and some of Andy Williams personal art collection. Very nice touch and it works.
The only reason I didn’t give it five stars is it’s not quite that good. Let me explain… If I’m in Branson and I can get in quick, cool, I’m there. But I’m not going to be to upset if I don’t.

I had dinner at the Moon River Grill after watching the Andy Williams show across the street at the Moon River Theatre.
The food and service are fantastic here. I had a glass of the Moon River merlot, which was great. And for dinner we had the chicken pot pie and the Ozark catfish. Both dishes were really good.
The restaurant itself looks very chic and the atmosphere is pretty romantic.

It doesn’t get better than this in Branson… unless you’re kayaking on Table Rock LAke or Lake Taneycomo.
Andy is THE MAN!
The shows are excellent, the staff is awesome, the theatre and lobby is beautifu. Check out the coi ponds and kimono display.
The musicians rock!
Not too sure about the dancersnow-​a-​days, but from 96′-2000′ they were amazing!
