Incredible New Show Coming To Branson!

Every year Branson unveils new or redesigned shows, which only adds to the excitement of the new production season. This year is no exception. While very few shows have undergone major redesigns, there is one new show coming to Branson that has the locals very excited.

Chun Yi – The Legend of Kung Fu is a show unlike any other in Branson. The story follows a young boy as he enters the life of a Buddhist monk. During the story, the young boy learns the skills of martial arts, is seduced by ego and illusions, leaves the pure life of the Buddhist monks behind, and eventually returns to assume the position his Master left to him. Chun Yi – The Legend of Kung Fu is a powerful tale of personal growth and the realization of physical and emotional harmony. To read more about the show, check out our Branson News blog for a more in-depth story!

Chun Yi – The Legend of Kung Fu is filled with fantastic acrobatic feats, displays of brilliantly choreographed martial arts, and emotion-filled dancing. Featureing a cast and crew of 80 talented performers, designers, and choreographers, this show is the longest running show in China and has been seen by more than two  million people. The Kung Fu practitioners have performed around the world, including a special performance during the Opening Ceremonies at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. This incredible show will be performing in the newly-acquired White House Theatre and is scheduled to open in May of 2010.

If you don’t want to wait until May, there is a similar show already in Branson. The Acrobats of China may not have quite as strong a story line, but the acrobatics are sure to please. The incredible aerial feats and awesome dance number will keep you satisfied until the new show arrives!
