The Duttons made their biannual move between Branson, Missouri and Mesa, Arizona in early April, returning to their home theater just a few days before opening night of their 2016 Branson Season. They have a lot of new things to offer patrons this year, including an impressive LED screen, special pre-show video, unique musical arrangements, lightning, costuming, etc.
Their regular 2016 show runs from April-October, with the Christmas show running November through mid-December. Then they make the move back to Arizona, beginning their winter season with the Christmas show in the desert. The moving process is a huge undertaking, and they do it all themselves, leaving very little wiggle room before opening the show at the opposite location. This time-lapse video of the stage take-down in Arizona shows just a snippet of the complicated and exhausting moving process.
