Presleys’ Country Jubilee (preshow begins at 7:15pm). The Presley’s were one of the original variety shows in Branson and still my personal favourite show. They are icons of music in the Ozarks, first playing the underground stages of local caves, creating a blend of music and comedy that would set the stage for Branson’s entertainment future. In 1967 the Presley Family bought a piece of land on an isolated two-lane stretch of asphalt and built a theatre that has become a Branson Landmark.   (B & D)
