Recently, I stumbled upon something really interesting on Facebook. French Lick in Indiana is home to its very own Branson-style dinner theater!

I’ll be honest—I’ve never been to Branson, but my in-laws absolutely love it. For those who aren’t familiar, Branson, MO, is known for its live dinner shows. A quick look at their website reveals why people flock there to enjoy home-cooked meals while watching performances like The Million Dollar QuartetA Christmas Story Dinner Theater with the iconic leg lamp, and several murder mystery shows!

At Abbeydell Hall, "The American Variety Show" promises a fun-filled, high-energy experience for all ages. The show features music from the rockin’ 50s to the groovin’ 70s, along with dance, comedy, and a heartfelt tribute to our Veterans. Plus, there are new surprises planned for 2024, including a foot-stompin' country segment!

Show Dates:

  • Mon, Oct. 14th - Evening Show
  • Wed, Oct. 16th - Evening Show
  • Tues, Oct. 22nd - Evening Show
