Red Skelton: A Tribute by Tom Mullica

At the Hamner Barber Theatre, 3090 Shepherd of the Hills Expressway (just down from the Shoji Tabuchi Theatre).

New location in 2013!

You'll swear you're watching Red Skelton LIVE on-stage throughout this hilarious 90-minute show.

Join old friends like Clem Kadiddlehopper, Freddy the Freeloader, The Mean Widdle Kid, Gertrude & Heathcliff and a legion of other great Skelton characters for a nostalgic step back in time.

Tom Mullica, a close friend of the late Red Skelton, expertly re-creates the comedy genius of America's most beloved clown and funnyman live on-stage at the Mansion Entertainment and Media Center.

From the hysterical classic Skelton pantomime skits to the silly rubber-faced expressions to the obscenity-free jokes, this show is 100% Red Skelton.

Theater critics and newspaper reviewers agree that this show is one of the best tribute shows to ever hit the theater stage.

Update on Tom's health: Tom Mullica fell ill while touring in January 2010 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 underwent high level chemotherapy (30 days). He then went home and continued with the chemotherapy with five days of treatment per month for four months. Tom is much better; he had a stem-cell transplant in July 2010 & he will be monitored closely for the next 5 years for signs of rejection. His March 2010 opening at The Mansion had to be cancelled, but he was back at The Mansion in 2011 & 2012 getting stronger every day!

RED SKELTON: A Tribute By Tom Mullica is presented 5 days a week at 10:00 am; March 12 through December 14, 2013.
