I had an amazing time watching the performance, it was truly incredible. The theater staff, however, was not very friendly at all. A man pushing a red cart said, "I will run over your toes." We were also told to stop at the sign for an usher to seat us, and the usher began yelling "Back, back, back!" Then she told us she would seat us and completely went three rows ahead of where our seats were. She did not like that we pointed out that she passed up our row. The bathroom situation is difficult, too. There is one bathroom for women (with multiple stalls), but the line forked and people were cutting and going around the line and the usher kept allowing it. People that was had waited several minutes for the bathroom were being bypassed by people who had not waited long at all. It was not a very organized process.
The show, amazing! Great tricks, songs, and performance. I highly recommend it. Just be prepared for not very kind staff.
Always an inspiring time @ The Haygoods at the Clay Cooper Theater in Branson, MO. If you 💘 🎶, you need to check them out. It's family entertainment by very talented siblings. Catherine is the only sister. The other five are her brothers. It was their Dad's 💘 of music & their Mom teaching them how to play different instruments at a young age that got them through 34 years of performances. Catherine plays a harp. There are lots of lights, drones, fire, etc. You will laugh a lot during the two hour performance. They sign autographs after the show. You can purchase a DVD of the show & other shows. Check them out on Facebook, Instagram, Tik Tok, & U Tube. Their shows do sell out so get your tickets early. Take your friends with you.

We saw The Haygoods for the first time tonight, and they absolutely exceeded every expectation.
The talent on that stage is incredible. Every member of the family is a phenomenal musician, and it seemed like they could play just about every instrument imaginable. The musicianship alone would have made for a great show, but they combine it with outstanding vocals, energy, special effects, and genuine family chemistry that keeps you engaged from beginning to end.
This was my husband and son’s first trip to Branson, and I spent a lot of time researching shows because I wanted their first experience to be memorable. After reading countless reviews and asking around, we chose The Haygoods - and I’m so glad we did.
Our son is a musician himself, playing tuba and bass guitar, and he was completely captivated by the performance. Watching his excitement throughout the show was worth the trip all by itself.
If you’re visiting Branson and wondering which show to see, stop wondering. The Haygoods are the real deal. Amazing musicians, amazing entertainers, and an unforgettable experience. We will definitely be back.

The Haygoods put on one of the most phenomenal shows I have ever seen! I cannot say enough good things about their talent, energy, and professionalism. They seamlessly moved through so many different genres of music, and every performance was outstanding.
What amazed me most was the incredible number of instruments they played—and played exceptionally well. Catherine's harp performance was absolutely beautiful and one of the highlights of the evening. Their tap dancing and boot-stomping routines were so much fun and had the entire audience engaged from start to finish.
I traveled with a group, and we are still talking about the show. Every person in our group had a fantastic time and left thoroughly entertained. Beyond their remarkable talent, the Haygoods are clearly fine people, something that shines through not only in their performance but also in the way they treat others.
If you're visiting Branson, this is a show you absolutely should not miss!

This is an AMAZING show! I went two years ago and it was incredible then and just as incredible this year. In fact, the Haygoods are always making a few changes here and there which makes the show seem fresh year after year. The one thing I cannot get over is the amount of talent that is on that stage at one time. God has truly blessed the entire family - and I hear there are more siblings that can play instruments but have chosen to do other things. Regardless, having 6 siblings on stage at once with as much talent as this family has in thoroughly entertaining! It's not all talent, however. This family works hard daily to ensure the best show possible. They continue to practice even though they perform 3-4 nights a week. One thing that really impressed me about them is that no matter how popular they are - they sell out the 2,000 Clay Cooper Theatre almost every show! - they are incredibly appreciative of those who come to see them. I took my almost 90-year-old mom to the show and because she has a hard time walking, we waited around until the theatre cleared out - she just can't stand very long. While we were sitting there, Timothy Haygood (the eldest brother in the family) came up to us and thanked us for coming to the show and let us know how much they appreciated it. Also, as we were leaving, we were walking between four busses and Catherine Haygood (the lone sister who is in the show) walked up to us and I told her how amazing of a job she had done; she was very appreciative and thanked us and then she went onto each bus and thanked all the people for coming! They do not take the support of their fans for granted and always seem grounded. I filled out an online survey for them and gave one little tiny critique - which wasn't even their fault - and I received a phone call from their representative thanking us for coming to the show and apologized for the criticism I had. (Again, it wasn't even their fault We had to wait until the last minute to get tickets because my mom had been sick and we weren't sure we were coming and our seats weren't the best and tall people were seated in front of us so we couldn't see everything. That was it!).
It takes about 30 seconds into the show just to realize how gifted this family is! You want someone playing electric guitar upside down? You got it! You want a drone show? You got it! You want Incredible tap dancing along w/ rock music? You got it! (They actually practiced this for 3 years before they knew they had it down well enough to bring it to an audience). You want incredible vocals? You got it! You want Catherine playing about 10 instruments? You got it! You want perfectly played theme songs from incredible movies like Jurassic Park, Star Wars, and others? You got it! You want comedy? No problem! You want a crazy man riding a little-too-fast recliner? It's there! BUT...in MY opinion, the VERY BEST thing they do is allow Catherine, one of the most INCREDIBLE MUSICIANS I've ever seen in my life to have the pivotal role of playing a full-size harp. It is one of the most beautiful instrumental performances I've ever heard and there is even a performance where ALL SIX siblings are all playing different parts of that harp at ONE TIME!!! Also, they all look stunning (especially Catherine - sorry guys!) in their Angelic White outfits while playing the Harp. This is just one of probably 12-15 wardrobe changes throughout the show. If you are in Branson, you've got to go see The Haygoods! But get tickets early!
