BRANSON, MO—January 2014 Andy Williams Moon River Theatre is proud to announce the addition of the Lennon Sisters to their October star studded line-up! The Lennon Sisters will be performing October 20th through 22nd and 27th through 29th at 8 PM.
The Lennon Sisters are an American Institution, first introduced to the country by Lawrence Welk. Glamorous, yet unpretentious; Sophisticated, yet down to earth; Famous, yet approachable. No wonder America Loves the Lennon Sisters…they are the girls next door. For 13 years on the Lawrence Welk Show, Dianne, Peggy, Kathy and Janet charmed the nation with their sweet-voiced harmonies. They were dubbed “America’s Sweethearts of Song”. They have sung for seven Presidents, performed with nearly every major star in Hollywood, and were welcomed into millions of homes across America every Saturday night. The girls were awarded their own Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and they were inducted into the National Vocal Group Hall of Fame. When Dianne and Peggy retired, their younger sister Mimi joined them in 1999. The Lennon Sisters have been known for such hits as “Tonight, You Belong to Me, and Sad Movies (Make Me Cry).” During the 60s and 70s, the Lennon Sisters appeared on the Andy Williams Television Show many times, and worked for many years with him in Las Vegas at Caesars Palace. They continue to bring their gift of music to our stage. For a performance filled with their unmistakable harmonies, video highlights of their fabulous career (which will surely bring back warm memories), funny stories that will bring some laughs, and three special little guests, Janet’s granddaughters, don’t miss The Lennon Sisters show this October at The Andy Williams Moon River Theatre

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Clay Cooper Theatre Welcomes Chris Perondi’s Stunt Dog Experience this Summer, 2014!

Branson, MO. Clay Cooper has announced that Clay Cooper Theatre will add Chris Perondi’s Stunt Dog Experience to the summer line-up for 2014. Chris and his incredible cast of canines have put together an incredible two hour show with amazing acrobats, dizzy dancing, high jumping, incredible obstacles and much more! Chris is excited to be a part of the Clay Cooper family and has been busy preparing new sets and obstacles for his professional pooches. Chris is joined by four other trainers to ensure proper training, nutrition, and preparation to make sure our three-sided stage remains a safe environment for all the dogs as they move from one portion of the show to another.
Clay Cooper commented, “I am excited to have Chris and his ‘crew’ at our theatre this year. I went to visit him last year and couldn’t believe what these dogs could do. I can’t even get my dog to sit! But really, Chris handles his dogs like family and you can tell by the way they constantly run to him and want to play, even when the show is over! AND, it shows in the performance of these dogs, too. I can’t wait to see what Chris has in store for us at the theatre…my kids can’t wait either!” Chris is a strong supporter of animal rescue and, in fact, each superstar on his stage has been rescued!
Silver Dollar City featured Chris and his incredible cast of canines during Kids Fest the last couple years. He has travelled all over the United States for special events and private parties. Chris and his canines will be featured in the Rose Bowl Parade January 1st on the Lucy Pet Foundation float. Chris has enjoyed the Branson community and would like to stay here for more years to come!
