Good show. Needs some clarity on the shuttle line to take you down to the theater. I recommend this show. - Good show on a beautiful evening in the Ozarks. The show is very well done. Some of the acting is better than others but overall it is good with a good story. We paid a little extra for the front rows. We sat in the 2nd row and it was close to the “stage”. It has been years since last seeing this show. Enjoyed the show. One piece of information, there is no one out front organizing the shuttle service or offering assistance. It was a bit confusing to figure out where the shuttle line was forming. And that short walk back up the steps to the car (if you want to skip the shuttle) was not an easy climb. Many stairs. Overall, it is worth the trip.

A Delightful Experience - The Wild West Show was full of entertainment! From a stagecoach, gunfire, The Pony Express/history, poetry, trick riding, trick roping, comedy throughout the show and honoring our veterans. We were entertained and laughing the entire time. My husband and I, and another couple ended up in the show as well. Perfect for couples, groups and families!

Vacay in Missouri - Loved the story, the music with the dinner was good as well, but the dinner was just fair, not impressed. The starting point watching guys play horseshoes was lame. Get rid of that part.

If you’re there and like plays , then try it. - Back in the day I’m sure this was a great experience. If you like plays, then you should do it otherwise, it was just a bit odd.
