Miracle of Christmas in Branson, MO

We've seen every different production at Sight and Sound Theater at least once for years. We travel from south Louisiana and it's always at the top of our list. But sadly to say, the production of "David" falls short when compared to all the others. Lots of sheep...I'll give them that. But the music is very repetitive, the sets are predominantly gray and muted. The 1st half in particular just was downright boring and King David's story definitely is not!

I have been to Broadway plays in New York and Chicago. The Sight and Sound production of Queen Esther was as good if not better! The scale of the stage makes you feel as if you’ve stepped right into Persia! The stage circled 3/4 of the huge room. In my opinion, the farther back your seat is, the better. We sat midway and had to keep turning around to see the hustle and bustle of the city. My husband and I now want to see all of their plays! Also, if you’re in Branson make sure and check out, College of the Ozarks! We had dinner at, The Keeter Center. The meal is prepared by their culinary students who come out in white coats. They also have a pianists who played Christian and Disney music (on weekends-check website). The meal and atmosphere was outstanding! We would definitely return here. We also toured the campus the next day and enjoyed the museum, the chapel, Patriot’s Park, the stained glass and candle shop, and the mill. Top of the Rock was neat and of course Silver Dollar City! We traveled from Tennessee and stopped at the Laura Ingalls Wilder homes and museum along the way. It was worth the stop.

My daughter and visited Branson for college spring break and this theatre and the Queen Esther show were spectacular! The sets, costumes, animals, and music were amazing. Also, large restrooms, and loved the cookies from the concession counter. We will be back to this theatre when visiting Branson.

The miracle of Christmas is well worth seeing. It brought the Christmas story to life. Horses & sheep walked down the aisles past us. Even though Mary went through criticism of her community, there was hope. There is a little embellishing of the story but it's still good. Highly recommend it.

It was a great show we look forward to the next one. They could up their snack game a little but it was great to go with the extended family. My wife and daughter went to teh Queen Esther one and they still talk about it a year later.
