Branson this week: Randy Travis closes his More Life dates, plus Darryl Worley and Jimmy Fortune at the Mansion

Randy Travis ends his fall run at the Clay Cooper Theatre on Sunday, the Mansion Theatre has three nights, and there are matinees all week.

Sunday night at the Clay Cooper Theatre is the last stop. Randy Travis's fall More Life dates end in Branson on Nov. 8, so the run that went through Hiawassee, Pueblo, Oklahoma City and Topeka finishes here. If you've been meaning to go, this is the date.

Branson has seven shows on the main calendar from Monday, Nov. 2, through Sunday, Nov. 8, plus a few repeat performances. Here's how the week lays out.

Tue, Nov. 3 · Thank You For The Music (ABBA Tribute) at Hamners' Variety Theater, 5 p.m. It's the first of three ABBA tribute performances at Hamners' this week.

Thu, Nov. 5 · Thank You For The Music (ABBA Tribute) at Hamners' Variety Theater, 5 p.m. An early-evening performance. Tickets are through Hamners' own site.

Thu, Nov. 5 · Jimmy Fortune at The Mansion Theatre for the Performing Arts, 8 p.m. It's the first of three Mansion nights this week, in a 3,000-seat house, with tickets through the theatre's site.

Fri, Nov. 6 · Thank You For The Music (ABBA Tribute) at Hamners' Variety Theater, 2 p.m. The afternoon matinee.

Fri, Nov. 6 · TOAST: The Best of Bread at The Mansion Theatre for the Performing Arts, 7 p.m. A night of Bread's catalog at the Mansion.

Fri, Nov. 6 · Dean Z – The Ultimate Elvis at Clay Cooper Theatre, 7:30 p.m. He's on the schedule Monday too, so you get two chances this week.

Sat, Nov. 7 · Darryl Worley at The Mansion Theatre for the Performing Arts, 8 p.m. It's the week's Saturday country headliner and closes the Mansion's run.

Sun, Nov. 8 · Randy Travis at Clay Cooper Theatre, 8 p.m. The More Life tour's final fall date. Songkick's venue listing names James Dupré as the opener on Travis's Clay Cooper dates, and Travis has been back to this room before, with Branson dates there in 2025.

That's the shape of a Branson week: tribute matinees in the afternoon, a country name at night, and a Sunday worth staying in town for.

If you're picking one ticket, pick Sunday. The rest of the calendar will repeat in some form next week, but the last night of a tour only happens once. Get your seats at the Clay Cooper early and plan to stay through the encore.
