Hamners Unbelievable Variety Show

Magic, music, and circus in one evening

⏱ About 2 hours👤 All ages$$

The strength of a variety show is that it does not ask you to commit to one taste. If the magic does not land for someone in your group, the aerial work, Cyr wheel, impressions, and trick roping give them something else to watch, and the pacing keeps each act short. The Hamners are the through-line: the illusions are the spine of the evening, and the husband-and-wife team frame the show with an easy, family-friendly style rather than the edgy tone of some television magicians.

The cast list is unusually diverse for Branson. Jeff Brandt covers the impressions and singing, Tamra Tinoco handles vocals, Mariya Serykh performs aerial work, Anthony Soumiatin performs on the Cyr wheel, a large metal ring that he spins and rides, and Johnny Lonestar brings roping and whip skills as well as hosting the pre-show. Together they make a show that appeals to grandparents, children, and teenagers at the same table. The patriotic finale is a standard Branson closing note, and it lands warmly with the audience the venue draws.

Practicals: the booking page is year-round, and the theater's own schedule shows most evenings at 8:00 PM with select Sunday matinees. Arrive in time for the pre-show 15 minutes before curtain. The theater sits near other Shepherd of the Hills Expressway venues, which makes it easy to build a show night around dinner nearby. If you visit in the holiday window, the Christmas Magic edition replaces the standard show from November 3 through December 30, so choose the one you want when booking.
