Andy Williams Moon River Theatre

Very entertaining, he keeps the audience involved. We decided on the last minute to get tickets to the show and didn't disappoint. The downfall is the parking is on a hill and could be challenging for elders. Recommend going to see the show.

Great show for all ages. Felt like he performed longer for everyone. Recommend seeing him when your in Branson.

Saw the Rick Thomas show tonight. Amazing! Great fun for all ages. A great value. Stunning illusions and masterful showmanship. Put this show at the top of your list in Branson. It was great!

Go see the Rick Thomas show!!! That illusionist is just amazing. Still cannot figure out the levitation of his wife is done - and then Rick also levitates! All of his tricks are too notch.

The Andy Williams Moon River Theater in Branson was opened in the early 1990s, using plans that were probably no longer viable in Las Vegas or Los Angeles because of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

It presents a smooth, "civic center" appearance from the outside, but here's what the mobility-impaired must face in order to see a show here, assuming the ticket-holder has missed out on the small handful of handicapped-zone parking berths, as we did:

(1) Trudge up a hill;
(2) Trudge down a pebbled walk without handrails;
(3) Enter the lobby and approach the theater by walking up half a flight;
(4) Enter the theater and trudge down at least as many stairs to find a seat.

In all fairness, the management did what it could do to help myself and several other mobility-impaired patrons to leave the theater after the show, but it involved taking a freight elevator to ground level, walking down a long hall and leaving through the service exit.

This is the 21st Century, and Americans are not getting thinner, younger, or fitter. This place needs to update itself to ADA compliance.

This is a nice theater. When we got out tickets late for a show, we were worried that we would not see the show well being in the top back. The ticket lady assured me, all seats have a good view. When we got there and sat...she was so right. We were about 6 rows from the top back and could see just fine. The audio was very good too.

The only thing we didn't like was the set of doors near the top back. There are 4 sets of doors. All during the show, everyone going to the concessions or restrooms used the top back set of doors. It kept lighting up the back of the theater. This was very distracting and missed some of the show.

Make sure to get there at least 1 hour ahead of show time. The parking lot does not accommodate well. This parking lot links to the Radisson and Shorty Small's resteraunt. If all the hotel residents used that resteraunt and theatre you'd be good to go. But, when there is a show it is hard to find a spot.

I am super impressed with the show we saw at the Andy Williams Theatre on Wednesday, July 24, 2019. We saw the Rick Thomas Mansion of Dreams show, and it blew us away. I never know what to expect with different illusionists, but Rick Thomas was outstanding. He interacted with the audience even! His illusions were breathtaking, and you left the show scratching your head asking "how did he do that?" You have the opportunity to meet him after the show and also meet his dogs! We will definitely be back the next time we visit Branson!

We were passing through Branson, but one thing was sure, we we going to whatever show was at Andy's theater. We even stayed in the Super 8 that used to be associated with the theater.
We got there early so we could go through the gift shop/ museum and enjoyed the many items the Williams family had on display.
As for the show itself.....Rick Thomas is amazing. His show was funny, and the magic stunning. His supporting cast was also very talented. See Rick.

If you're coming to Branson, illusionist Rick Thomas is an absolute must-see. Going in, I had assumed that his show would just be a bunch of magic tricks and thrills, but it was so much more. He interacts with the audience, cracks jokes, and invites audience members on stage. The show is definitely kid friendly and your whole family will love it. We took my 6 year old niece and she had a blast. There were even two opportunities for a couple lucky kids to get on stage and help with an act.

The theater itself is very clean and easy to navigate. I had been here years before for a convention and it was just as I remembered.

When I'm back in the area, I'm definitely coming again!

We extended our stay by one night in Branson and we were unsure of which show to see. We finally decided on the Rick Thomas, Mansion of Dreams. WOW - so thankful we did! Rick puts on a fantastic show full of illusions and comedy. The dancers are fantastic performers as well. My wife really loved the dogs and the audience participation! Highly recommend this show if you visit Branson!
