Hughes Brothers, family offer exciting new show

Christine Severin was impressed by The Hughes Music Show.

“I don’t know how that much talent fits in one family,” the 50-year-old Omaha resident said. “They’re a really talented bunch of kids.” Christina, her 19-year-old daughter, agreed. “I love that there are all different ages,” she explained. “I love the variety of songs and dance. So many surprises.”

After more than 24 years of performing on stage in Branson, the Hughes Brothers are still going strong. “Our show has always been a standout,” Jason Hughes explained. “Our show is for families and done by families, but we are a family show on steroids.” Jason, the second oldest Hughes Brother, directs the show, sings, dances and works the crowd with family-friendly comedy. He loves his super-sized 40plus member show family, and their new 2018 variety spectacular. “I really love the show,” Jason said. “The kids are better than ever. There are so many standout moments.” The show brings together soaring vocals, astonishing musical arraignments, show stopping dance numbers and multi-layered instrumentals. “It’s a huge variety of everything,” Jason explained. “We perform Broadway and doo-wop, rock and gospel, hip-hop and country. It’s truly a variety show.”

The show opens with The Greatest Show from the movie The Greatest

Showman. It moves on to high energy dance numbers, slows down for a medley of moving love songs, drops in a rockin’ Queen number, tosses in a country tribute and moves on to a STOMP-like percussion routine complete with six fiddling Hughes kids. And, that’s before intermission. Jason called the show an “eclectic collection.”

“There are so many new elements in the show,” Jason said. “It’s a huge variety show. Broadway to doo-wop and everything in between. Come see it. You will be surprised.”
