Relive the Romance with The World Famous Platters in Branson

Reviewed by Ashley of ReserveDirect.comThe World Famous Platters in Branson, Missouri is a show that takes guests on a stroll down memory lane, reliving the romance of classics like “Only You” & “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes.” The production jumps right into the music, with The Platters performing “Only You” & “Remember When” to great applause, before they perform a few classic standards such as “Stand by Me,” “Under the Boardwalk,” & “This Magic Moment.” The audience was then treated to a medley of Platter top ten hits before they presented a Ray Charles segment, complete with great renditions of “Georgia on my Mind” & “Unchain My Heart.” The female lead then sang “Unforgettable,” which showcased her vocals, before The Platters had some fun with songs like “Poison Ivy” & “Yakety Yak (Don’t Talk Back.)”

Branson’s The Platters have a lot of fun with their audience too, especially on “Love Train,” where the performers and the audience create a love train conga-style line that puts everyone in a groovy mood. The Platters have over 35 top ten hits, so it is impossible for them to perform them all in a 2 hour show, but they do bring out the classics like “Harbor Light,” “Magic Touch,” “With this Ring,” & “The Prayer,” before they launch into a Motown tribute segment, where they fire up the audience by performing “Get Ready,” “My Girl,” “Ooh Baby Baby,” “Sugar Pie Honey Bunch,” “ My Guy,” and “It’s All Right (to have a good time.)” The World Famous Platters close the show with “The Great Pretender,” one of their top hits.

The World Famous Platters show lets guests relive the romance of music’s glory days. It’s a great choice for visitors looking to relive their ‘magic moment’ or for guests to make a new one.
