Branson’s Original 50’s Show features the darling Hoppettes (Ashley Willford, Stephanie Stevenson, and Wendy Sewell), their dazzling Dreamdates (Shane Vorhaben, David Sanders, and Michael Land), and the sizzling Rockin’ Hop Band (Lance Taylor, Mike Lacy, Marvin Short, Mark Boyd, and Randy Hall) on a jaunt through the 50’s, as they bring back the fun of early rock ‘n roll. New to the cast this year is featured female vocalist Crystal Morrissett – with a powerhouse voice that constantly brings visitors to their feet.
