Andy Williams Show

Andy Williams presents a show in Branson, It's great! You would never know he is 82 years old. He sings and dances and jokes around as if he is 10 years younger or maybe 15 years younger.

The Moon River Theater is across the street from the Moon River Grill, (pictured) both owned by Andy. We had lunch at the Moon River Grill (pictured) with the Rankin family and guess who walked in??? Yes - it was Andy himself. He makes frequent appearances at the restaruant. What a thrill that was! We forgot to bring our camera with us to the restaurant. Big mistake!

His show was very much like his old TV shows, very lively, fast moving and enjoyable. He had a variety of guests from singing families (pictured), to tap dancers, to magicians and more. He sang many of the songs that made him famous - including Moon River. See the picture of the finale, where all the guests lined up across the stage.



The Andy Williams Christmas Show will be presented during the holidays. We would have loved to see that one but we won't be in Branson then.
