Gary Wackerly - Theatre Critic - www.bransonshowsreviewed.comThe talented cast performs the beautifully penned original songs to inform the audience of some things that we all should be concerned with, the pollination by the bees, air pollution, water pollution, being approached by a stranger, personal inituative for yourself, stopping bullying when you see it, cooperate with people to accomplish the tasks, finding pollution solutions. All of these topics are handled with clever music and songs that are tremendously entertaining. The writers of the songs, Bucky Heard and Chris Skillern, deserve to be given an award for what they have produced for the young people that visit Branson. This show needs to be presented to the American youth by some television network sometime. The show ends with Imagination Boxes that are brought out for the children to come down front and participate in decorating their boxes. Wow, what a show. I enjoyed it tremendously and I am 63 years old. Bravo Bucky and Chris! I rate this show a 10.

On any given day, the online show schedule for Branson Tourism Center, www.BransonTourismCenter.com, one of Branson’s largest providers of show and attraction tickets, would show 70 or more shows available for Branson visitors, but in terms of subject matter, presentation and appeal “Rock U Mentally” stands alone.
