Taylor Reed started performing at an early age in Texas, winning many competitions & accolades in the world of magic. After living and performing in Las Vegas for 15 years as well as traveling and performing around the world, Taylor and his wife brought their show to Branson where they are also raising their family.

I grew up vacationing in Branson and have taken my kids a few times over the past 10 years. I’ve seen many shows, some multiple times, but this was a first and a definite family favorite! The comedy, music, energy, excitement, professionalism, crowd interaction, suspense and variety was amazing and fun for all ages (from Mimi and Papa to my 8 yr old)! The guys connect with the audience on a personal level and they take time for autographs, questions, pictures following the show....my kids felt special, like they had made two new friends! They get out the drumsticks (purchased at intermission) and talk about the show to this day. The fact that my kids are still drumming (banging) on buckets and everything else in sight speaks volumes! It’s a must see, you won’t be disappointed!

Broadway to Buble starring George Dyer

"MAGNIFICENT!" is only one of the superlatives used by audience members and critics alike, to describe this "not to be missed" Branson sensation, GEORGE DYER. Bringing his world-class, award-winning tenor voice and showmanship to the Branson stage, George wows his audiences with an array of hits from Broadway (Phantom of the Opera), Power Ballads (Time To Say Goodbye, Hallelujah), Opera (Nessun Dorma), Love Songs, Gospel, Disney (Moana, Beauty & the Beast) and classic standards, latest hits, as well as contemporary favorites (Greatest Showman). Spotlighting his gifted wife and son throughout, George takes you on a mesmerizing musical journey that is inspiring audiences to enthusiastic ovations. Unlike any other show you'll find in Branson. If you like Josh Groban, Dean Martin, Il Divo, or Michael Bublé, and want an inspiring World-Class and Family Friendly musical experience right in the heart of the Ozarks, then you've got to see this exceptional show!

Parents and adult children are wonderful singers, dancers. We enjoyed the basketball tricks, the jokes, and especially Andrea's Veterans poem. They do a wonderful tribute to Veterans.
