Dutton Family Show

Now appearing at The Dutton Family Theater Complex, 3454 W Highway 76 (the west end of Hwy 76, just across from the Mickey Gilley Theater and White Water, and a few doors down from Jim Stafford)

The Dutton Family Show features the amazingly talented Dutton Family--Mom Sheila, Dad Dean, and seven offspring--playing violin & fiddle, guitar, bass, viola, cello, banjo, mandolin, keyboard, harmonica and drums.

The music is country, bluegrass, 50's pop, swing, rock, and you name it. If that weren't enough, they sing and dance and add comedy, too. Even the youngest Duttons sometimes show up.

Stars of their own PBS-TV special, the Duttons have won many fans of all ages with their live and lively Branson show. For the holidays, the show becomes Christmas With the Duttons. Let the best performing family share their love of the holiday season with you in their unique and colorful way.

The Duttons made it into the Top 10 Finalists on America's Got Talent (season 2; 2007). Watch the video here. Amazing talent!

In 2012, The Dutton's received TripAdvisor's Certificate of Excellence, which recognizes businesses that consistently receive top ratings from travelers. The Duttons earned exceptional traveler ratings over the past year.

The Dutton Complex includes the theater, a deli and The Dutton Hotel...so you can even stay with them while you're in town. The Dutton Theater lobby underwent some remodeling during the "off" months of January through March 2011. The makeover included granite countertops for the concession area, new fixtures in the bathrooms, new flooring and fresh paint. The Duttons created a warm and inviting atmosphere for you as you enter the theater. Additionally, the front porch area and ticket booth are being enclosed with glass so you're protected from the weather when you purchase or pick up tickets.

The Dutton Family Theatre #2 is located in Mesa, Arizona for The Duttons winter performances.

The Dutton Family Show in Branson runs April 6 through December 7, 2012.

Historical Notes for The Duttons: In 2007, the show operated on a TBA schedule while The Duttons were taping for America's Got Talent. There was always something happening at the theater, though. When the Duttons were out of town for that project, the show Island Fire dropped-in in its place. The Duttons made it into the Top 10 Finalists on America's Got Talent.
