This group of Duttons isn't even half of the number you'll see on stage.

A family of performers in Branson may sound like a common theme. Branson has a long history of entertainment that's performed by actual families. They're dads, moms, kids who are all united with a single goal: to put on a great performance. With that in mind, it would be easy to pigeonhole such acts all into one category and thus discount the individual strengths and talents of each unique show.

The Duttons, for instance, are a family -- a big family. They include Dad, Mom, six of their children, four spouses and 16 grandchildren (all making appearances on stage), and, like several other families, they have a show in Branson, plus a hotel and a deli. Once you're in the audience, however, the idea that they are family becomes secondary to the fact that they are superior musicians and entertainers.

The Duttons' show, a fantastic array of myriad styles of music, dance and entertainment, brings audience members to their feet every performance, begging for more. Obviously, this show is still about the family -- but it is also so much more. As one audience member put it, "cutting edge entertainment at its best."
