Andy Williams Performing Arts Center in Branson, MO Celebrates Its 25th Anniversary With Nostalgia and Class
Branson, MO (PRWEB) February 07, 2017 -- “This year marks the 25th anniversary celebration of the Andy Williams Performing Arts Center and promises to be the most exciting yet,” said owner Jimmy Osmond, “Andy opened this theater in 1992 and, in the past 25 years, it has hosted almost eight million visitors. I could never have imagined, as a child appearing on his television series, that Andy would someday pass the baton to me, and that I'd own and operate his beautiful theatre. It's a great honor to continue Andy's vision and his legacy."
• Our season begins in March with Master Illusionist Rick Thomas and his award winning show. Thomas performs the most intriguing and innovative grand illusions in the world with a style unlike any other magical entertainer. Rick’s show is well known around the world and has become a Branson favorite.
• Jimmy Osmond will star in "Moon River and Me" from April 25 through September 29 with special guest Charlie Green and The Moon River Band. The show received rave reviews when it debuted at the Andy Williams Performing Arts Center in 2015, and has played to sold-out audiences in Las Vegas and its U.K. tour. "To perform the show on the theatre's 25th anniversary is just such an incredible privilege," said Jimmy.
