This was an amazing show! I think there was only one song I didn’t know all the words to, and I was singing right along with the entire show. These performers are first rate TALENTED!!! They come back to my area, I will see it again. Thank you to the entire cast, and everyone involved in the production. Keep up the excellent work, and continue on making the crowds smile!!

My wife and I attended this show without any input from friends. We read the reviews and watched a few clips that we found online. We were not disappointed in any way.
We were very pleased when we found a website that offered the tickets for $40 per couple.
One of the aspects of this show that set it apart was that it wasn't just a lot of singing, it actually told a story. The story is five boys growing up together and sharing time together in one of their basements' where their love for music blossomed. They each told a little about their lives as they grew and entered the "real world" and how they rediscovered their love for music.
The vocals are great, as is the choreography and actual dancing. They make very interesting transitions of items in the basement as they tell their story. A couch becomes a boat. A coat rack becomes a gym apparatus. The lighting changes are very effective.
I predict that those who see this show will come away with a smile on their face and memories of a great show..

Since I was five years old, my family has traveled to Branson, Missouri with the intention of enjoying the mountainous landscape, delicious food, miles of shops, and, of course, live entertainment shows. Over 14 years, I have seen countless shows of every variety that one can think of in Branson and have become an avid lover of these live productions. On July 9, 2017 I had the great pleasure of seeing “Forever Young” at the Americana Theatre. Overall, I would consider this production to be one of the best I have ever witnessed in Branson. From the musicianship of the performers to the inventive staging or the production value/stage setting to the deeply profound and touching story, this new and innovative show soars to heights that are rarely reached by productions that have been in Branson since its beginnings.
First of all, these men can sing! Their vocal ranges are impressive and the arrangements of their musical numbers were immaculate. One specific example includes a gorgeous hushed a-cappella rendition of Johnny Cash’s acclaimed “Ring of Fire.” Even when accompanied by vocal tracks, their melodious voices stand out as some of the most seasoned and developed of any Branson performer to date.
Secondly, the staging was presented in a lively and energetic fashion that accentuated every musical number. There was NEVER a dull moment with the choreography and blocking implemented by these artists. In certain cases, they would transform typical furniture items into unexpected properties such as a boat and a baby-grand piano. The shabby and worn set resembling a rustic basement was creative and personal making the theatre feel inviting and homey. Of every show that I have seen, the boy-band resemblant choreography was more energetic, more attractive, and more modern than the typical “step-touch” or stagnant routines seen by aged performers.
Finally, a Branson show rarely delivers truthful and raw emotions felt by audience members and performers alike. With a profound message, this show embodies hope which can be found within a world embraced by the music of each generation. Ultimately, the show will resonate with audience members young and old. “Forever Young” has reassured me of Branson’s ability to showcase phenomenal talent and produce magical moments which touch frequent visitors through the power of music.
This hidden gem on the Branson strip can be described as a masterpiece, and whoever came up with the idea for this show should be regarded as a genius. “Forever Young” and its rising stars are revolutionizing what live Branson entertainment can be, and if you want your soul to be moved by the music that connected us all as lifetime dreamers, SEE THIS SHOW!

Out of a random sample of 10 people, one would likely find 5 as good as these guys in terms of singing talent. Singing was mediocre at best without decent harmony among the group. Actually their voices did no blend together at all. That coupled with poor song selection made a terrible performance. I don't think these guys will make it much longer in show business. The show was so bad that my wife and I left at intermission. We both agree with this review. Don't waste your time or money.

jdavis65,
Thank you so much for viewing and reviewing "Forever Young." We are sorry to hear you weren't impressed with the talent that you saw on stage. Between the 5 guys you saw, they have over 65 years experience in professional show business ranging from Chicago,Broadway,Branson, and cruise ships to Julliard. We apologize if our 100% vocals didn't blend to your liking and that you didn't enjoy our song selection. We used the greatest hits of all time from the 50's to today.

The show was terrible. Very unprofessional and amateur. It was so bad that we didn't stay for the full show. Total waste of money

Thanks for your review! It means a lot to us that you would create a TripAdvisor account just to belittle our show.

Thanks so much for your review! We apologize if you didn't understand our show. It's not actually about us living our dreams, it's about our true stories. We also apologize if you didn't think we sounded very good. We couldn't be prouder of our 100% Live Vocals. As much as we dance and move around it takes a lot to be perfect. The standing ovation we received at the end of the show makes us think that maybe we were a little better than "not very good." Thanks again for taking the time to view and review our show.

Don't waste your time or money on this show. There probably weren't more than 20 people in the whole theater. We left at intermission and would have left sooner but we were on the front row and didn't want to be rude. The guys could sing but they acted like they ants in there pants and couldn't be still. They tried to dance but it was really bad. The moved furniture around the whole time. The lighting was also very poorly done. Just a very bad show!!!

The first time I saw Forever Young was in November of 2017 with my two oldest daughters and and each of their newborns in Branson Missouri. We saw a lot of shows while we were in Branson and Forever Young by far was hands down was our absolute favorite!!!! They are all so talented and each of their voices are all unique so not only do they stand out as individuals and together the way they harmonize is amazing! Their storyline is so heartfelt and touching. Their show is so family friendly for people of all ages and that is very rare these days. After the show we were able to all of them and they were all so genuinely friendly. Needless to say we had a blast!!! We heard they were going to be in Norfolk Nebraska, 2 hours away from where we live so I called the theater where they were going to be performing and was able to get tickets for myself and my husband, my oldest daughter and her husband,my two youngest daughters , my oldest son and his girlfriend and my 2 year old baby boy . So I had the pleasure of taking my family that had not seen them January 30th, 2018... The day before my son's 18th birthday... Everyone had a blast and for myself and my oldest daughter we had just as much fun the 2nd time we saw them as the first. My whole family had the pleasure of meeting all of the Forever Young group after the show and my little girls got autographed posters which are framed and now up on their walls and we took pictures with all of them again. They even remembered meeting my oldest daughters and I in Branson. That in itself speaks measures about the kind of people they are!! We hope to be back in 2019 or 2020 to see these guys!!! If your in Branson it's definitely a must see!!!!

This show is fun and entertaining. A story of 5 buddies singing their music. We enjoyed the lively choreography and tunes that tell their story. Interesting and holds your interest. We will be back with our visitors.
