If you are planning on visiting Branson during November or December, we invite you to experience the magic of "The Wings of Christmas," our original holiday production that will amaze and inspire you at the same time.

The first half features the best of our award winning Hamner Barber Variety Show. The second half is pure imagination and whimsical fun with a spectacular finale that will bring you to your feet with applause.

As the curtain opens on the second half, the audience is transported throught the magic of multimedia to an animated world of Christmas memories as the entire cast performs favorite cartoon classics from A Charlie Brown's Christmas, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and The Grinch Who Stole Christmas. Jim Barber as "The Grinch" is engaging and creative as he dances in and out of a video screen while singing the holiday classic from the film of the same name.

The Hamners rekindle fond memories of early Christmas presents as they magically produce some favorite toys that when combined with Dave Hamner's imagination, become real and bigger than life.

Music is the thread that weaves this production together. Featured are the incredible vocals of both Dave Hamner and Jim Barber as well as Jim's wife Diane and our talented singing dancers.The Barbers as The Claus's

 

 

The Barber's magically appear and serenade each other with a cleverly revised version of "Baby It's Cold Outside."

The finale of the show features our theme song written especially for this production by T.J. Kuenster. T.J. has been the musical conductor for Country Music Hall of Famer, Glen Campbell for over 30 years. T.J. has also written musical scores for many animated feature films including All Dogs Go To Heaven and Rock-A-Doodle. His original score, " Wings of Christmas" is the perfect piece to conclude this spectacular production.

The entire cast joins Dave Hamner and Jim Barber onstage as a large flock of beautiful birds appear flying to center stage over the heads of the amazed audience. Many folks may not appreciate the intense training that it took for this spectacular fly-in, but they are stunned and delighted at the shear beauty and the power of the experience.
