You’ll feel swept up by live music as six siblings play 20+ instruments with wild light shows and unexpected arrangements—from classic hits to today’s tunes. Enjoy family fun, meet-and-greet with The Haygoods after the show, and easy access for all ages. This is Branson energy at its most genuine.
I didn’t really know what to expect from the Haygoods in Branson—just that everyone in town kept saying it was “the” show. Turns out, they weren’t exaggerating. The moment we walked into the theater (it smelled a bit like popcorn and that faint new-carpet scent), there was this buzz—families chatting, some kids bouncing around in their seats. I remember nudging my friend when the lights dropped and those six siblings just exploded onto the stage with something from the ’60s I hadn’t heard in years. It was loud, but not in a bad way—more like you could feel it in your chest.
Our guide at the hotel had told us to get there early (“Lines get long,” she warned), so we did—and ended up people-watching for a good half hour. There were grandparents with grandkids, couples on date nights, even a group of teenagers who looked skeptical at first but were singing along by the second song. The Haygoods switched between fiddles, guitars, even some instrument I couldn’t name (looked like a cross between a piano and a spaceship?). The lighting was wild too—sometimes you’d catch these flashes of color over the crowd that made everyone look like they were part of the act for a second.
I think my favorite bit was when Catherine (the sister) did this solo on what I think was an electric harp—never seen anything like it. My hands actually hurt from clapping so much by then. Afterward, we got to meet them all backstage for a quick photo—they’re way more down-to-earth than you’d expect after watching them pull off all those special effects. One of the brothers joked about his “sparkly boots” being his secret weapon; he let me touch them (felt kind of rough and weirdly sticky?).
I still think about that moment walking out into the cool night air afterward—everyone humming bits of songs or laughing about their favorite parts. If you’re looking for something real in Branson—a show where you actually feel part of it—I’d say grab tickets to this one. Just don’t try to out-clap the locals; they’re pros.
