Promise (The), Branson

You do not have to be in Branson long before discovering that you are in the middle of the "Bible Belt." Many of the residents here are deeply religious, and they are proud of it. This wonderfully staged show opened in 1996. Through song and speech, the 50-member cast works hard to depict the life of Jesus Christ. The costumes, sets and live animals help to make every scene look realistic. This show has become extremely popular, playing to standing room only crowds on most days. The venue is open Tuesday to Sunday from 3 p.m.
