Red Skelton: A Tribute by Tom Mullica  At the Mansion Entertainment and Media Center, 189 Expressway Lane (highway 248 & Gretna). 2010 Update: Tom Mullica fell ill while touring in January during the Branson Winter season. After seeing his doctor, he was diagnosed with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (blood and bone marrow cancer). On February 17, 2010 he was admitted to the Cancer Ward of the Cox Medical Center, Springfield, MO where he has been undergoing high level chemotherapy (30 days). He will then go home and continue with the chemotherapy with five days of treatment per month for four months. At the conclusion he will hopefully be much better but there is a chance that he will need a stem-cell transplant. His March opening at The Mansion had to be cancelled, and we're now showing a September opening. We're thinking good thoughts for Tom and his family.
