Omaha, NE & Branson, MO – Mulberry Lane, the Midwest’s most popular sister group, will perform their 2007 Christmas show at RFD-TV The Theatre in Branson, Missouri with 20 performances scheduled during the months of November and December. The extended run will begin with three matinee performances at 3pm during Veteran’s Day weekend, November 9, 10, & 11, and then continue weekly with 7pm shows set on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday evenings through December 5. In addition, a 3pm matinee show will be performed on Tuesdays.
Mulberry Lane, a sister act who grew up singing and playing music together, is a heartland favorite. The songbird sisters have sold over 550,000 albums, including the critical and fan favorite CD, "A Very Merry Mulberry Christmas."
Mulberry Lane’s 2-hour Christmas show will anchor the extensive holiday lineup for the 2,000 soft-seat theatre opened by RFD-TV in March of this year. In addition, the theatre’s fall/Christmas bookings include individual appearances by Ronnie Milsap, Roy Clark, and Lorrie Morgan, along with the network’s Penny Gilley Show scheduled in the venue for the weekends.
The Christmas with Mulberry Lane show will feature the sisters’ critically
acclaimed harmonies backed by renowned musicians in a full stage
production. The show is fun for the entire family, combining
traditional and contemporary songs with choreography, moving lights,
acapella carols, and dancers.
“The sisters and the songs of Mulberry Lane will be a big hit with RFD-TV’s existing television audience and Branson’s demographics”, stated Patrick Gottsch, President of Rural Media Group, Inc., owners of both RFD-TV and RFD-TV The Theatre. “Their soaring harmonies and love for Christmas, gospel, and patriotic music are a perfect match with the family-oriented values that this channel and theatre supports.”
Mulberry Lane's signature harmonies have taken them around
the world, up the charts (to #25 US pop/top 40 chart; #6 in Japan), to
national and international TV and radio shows (including Good Morning
America, Regis, CBS This Morning, CNN, VH-1, Fox), and into the homes
of Mulberry Lane fans in over 16 countries. They have played for
crowds of up to 130,000, and television viewing audiences of up to 11
million.
Mulberry Lane and RFD-TV will collaborate to produce a high-definition DVD during this initial run at the theatre. This Christmas special will be offered for sale, as well as, air on RFD-TV and RFD HD, the company’s new high-definition television channel.
“My sisters and our band are excited to perform so many nights in this beautiful theatre,” stated Allie-Kat. “The sound and setting will make this a wonderful experience for the audience. We have heard so many good things about Branson audiences, and we look forward to joining this great Midwest holiday tradition, while at the same time being exposed to the 30 million homes reached by RFD-TV.”
