 New show for 2019! It’s “The Haygoods” and it’s an amazing Branson  experience! Not your run-of-the-mill family show, these accomplished  entertainers - who just happen to be siblings - dazzle audiences with  innovative special effects; unsurpassed musicianship demonstrated on  more than twenty instruments; sensational singing; and the most fun  you’ve ever had during a live music show! Five high-spirited brothers  and one beautiful and gifted sister present a musical variety production  unlike any other.  Keeping Branson audiences entertained for years,  including performing when they were just youngsters for thousands of  music lovers at Branson’s famous theme park, Silver Dollar City, these  incredible artists have developed a unique style, constantly  re-energizing their performances and introducing an entirely new show  each year.
