Branson is the Ozarks' unlikely entertainment capital, a small Missouri town with dozens of live music theatres turning out country, gospel, and variety shows every night of the week, plus Silver Dollar City theme park and the genuinely impressive limestone caverns underneath the surrounding hills. It's earnest, family-focused, and bigger than its size suggests.

The autumn colours combined with the shows made for a brilliant week — saw three different theatre productions and each one was great value.
