  This show stayed entertaining, no matter what talent was on the stage! The Aerial gymnast was spectacular, better than anyone I had seen before. The magic was totally impossible to figure out!, which makes it a WINNER! The other support cast members played their roles perfectly. I would recommend.

  Hamners' Unbelievable Variety Show Review Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Stars Branson is filled with excellent entertainment options, but few shows offer the variety, talent, and family-friendly appeal found at Hamners' Unbelievable Variety Show. Headlined by husband-and-wife team Dave and Denise Hamner, this production combines grand illusions, exotic birds, aerial performances, comedy, music, and specialty acts into a fast-paced evening that keeps audiences engaged from beginning to end. Dave and Denise Hamner launched their Branson theater in 2004, with the current version of the variety show debuting in 2014. Before making Branson their home, the Hamners built impressive entertainment credentials performing in world-famous venues including Las Vegas, Disneyland, and the Magic Castle. Their accomplishments include receiving the prestigious Siegfried & Roy Bronze Lion Head Award and the Las Vegas Magic Masters Award, honors that reflect decades of excellence in illusion and entertainment. Outside of the theater, Dave Hamner also serves as a pastor and hosts the Branson Gospel Sunday Service, a non-denominational service held Sundays at 10:00 a.m. and broadcast on ABC 33 from 6:00–6:30 a.m. The heart of the show is, of course, the magic. The Hamners present a wide range of illusions, from intimate sleight-of-hand effects to large-scale stage productions. Every illusion flowed smoothly, with polished execution and professional presentation throughout. One standout moment was the Ark of the Covenant illusion, which combined theatrical storytelling with impressive stagecraft. It was one of the most memorable moments of the evening and demonstrated why the Hamners have earned such a respected reputation in the magic community. The show also features beautiful exotic birds that are incorporated into several routines. Their appearance adds color, elegance, and a unique charm that audiences of all ages can appreciate. One of the greatest strengths of Hamners' Unbelievable Variety Show is its supporting cast. Rather than feeling like a collection of unrelated acts, the performers work together to create a cohesive and entertaining experience. Stage assistant and performer Downtown Kenny Brown, was an unexpected highlight of the show. His energy, personality, and comedic timing made every appearance enjoyable. He consistently drew laughs and connected naturally with the audience. In many ways, Brown became one of the show's most memorable performers. His stage presence is strong enough that it would be exciting to see him featured in his own dedicated segment, perhaps showcasing more comedy or audience interaction. Audience members should be warned: The Ape Girl may steal the show. Without giving away too much, this recurring character creates some of the biggest laughs of the evening. The reactions from the crowd were priceless, and the segment added an extra layer of fun and unpredictability to the performance. Impressionist Jeff Brandt, who joined the production in 2014, delivers a variety of celebrity impressions. While his performance was entertaining, this portion of the show felt somewhat dated. The impressions were recognizable and well executed, but incorporating more current personalities and voices could make the segment feel fresher and more relevant to today's audiences. Aerial performer Brittney Marie delivered a beautiful and highly entertaining routine. Her strength, grace, and control were impressive, and her segment added a level of elegance and excitement that complemented the rest of the production perfectly. One of the evening's most visually stunning performances came from Anthony Soumiatin and his Cyr Wheel act. The combination of athleticism, balance, and artistry was captivating. His routine was both amazing and entertaining, earning enthusiastic reactions from the audience. Singer Tamra Tinoco possesses an exceptional voice. Her performances provided a wonderful musical balance to the magic and specialty acts. Simply put, she is a performer whose voice audiences could listen to for hours. The Hamners Variety Theater offers a comfortable viewing experience with approximately 642 seats, providing good sightlines throughout the venue while still maintaining an intimate atmosphere. We would have liked a cup holder in the seats but that can be us being picky. In addition to Hamners' Unbelievable Variety Show, the theater hosts several popular productions, including: An ABBA Tribute Beach Boys California Dreamin' Back to the Bee Gees The Sound of Simon & Garfunkel The variety of programming helps make the theater one of Branson's notable entertainment destinations. Hamners' Unbelievable Variety Show succeeds because it offers something for everyone. Whether you enjoy grand illusions, comedy, music, specialty acts, aerial performances, or family-friendly entertainment, the show delivers a little bit of everything without ever feeling disjointed. The beautiful birds, impressive illusions, talented supporting cast, and high production value create an enjoyable experience from start to finish. While the impressions segment could benefit from a more modern update, the overall production remains one of Branson's stronger variety shows. The biggest compliment may be this: by the time the curtain closed, I was already looking forward to returning to see the Christmas version of the show. Final Rating: 4.5/5 Stars A fun, family-friendly evening of magic, music, comedy, and variety entertainment that continues to be a standout attraction in Branson.

• The illusions were great

  We were there on a Tuesday evening. The illusions and magic were excellent. The individual performances were very good. One or two of the skits were pretty bland. The singers were only average. One of the skits was based on the ark of covenant. It was sort of weak. Overall, it was enjoyable, but it was not a "don't miss" type show.

• Amazing Show for the entire family!

  Hammer’s Variety Show is great entertainment for all ages. We had front row seats which the kids loved. The magic is top notch, the aerialists was amazing, and the singer Tamra Tinoco has a beautiful voice, and sang some great hits. The live birds were a great part of the show. The final act a tribute to the military and the USA was the perfect ending to a great show. Highly recommend!

  What an amazing show. The illusions were top‑tier and totally unique compared to anything else in Branson. Every singer and acrobat on that stage delivered. And seriously — where else in Branson do you get top‑notch performers, giant birds, and an ape all in the same show.
