Black Vulture Ramen is back.

We’re excited to welcome our friends from Black Vulture Ramen back to Speak of the Devil for another Sunday afternoon pop-up. A few times a year, our little cocktail bar fills with the aroma of rich broth, fresh noodles, and all the good things that happen when talented people decide to feed other people.

SAW - The Musical

The horror love story you didn't know you wanted!

SAW The Musical: The Unauthorized Parody of Saw premieres Off-Broadway Fall 2023 in New York after its smash out-of-town tryout in Philadelphia last year! One of the most thought-provoking horror films of all time now is…a musical. SAW The Musical hilariously captures the events of the first movie, parodying the Saw that started it all, following from where Lawrence Gordon and Adam Stanheight find each other for the first time in the bathroom trap. Will they follow "the rules" as they discover each other's secrets? Will they escape the game in time and saw right through? A love story with fluidity (and lots more fluids), SAW The Musical: The Unauthorized Parody of Saw is Little Shop of Horrors meets Avenue Q, pushing the boundary on sexuality and how to love.

WARNINGS
This production includes explicit sexual humor, simulated gore, and strobe effects

The Answer Oratorio

The Answer Oratorio

Just as Jesus Christ Superstar, Godspell and Rent had an impact on society in their day, THE ANSWER provides a powerful and encompassing experience for today's culture with its message of human compassion.

THE ANSWER begins with a character in the form of a spirit personifying the passage of time welcoming the audience to times beginning. The spirit takes us through creation using film as the means of experiencing that beginning up to the day before September 11, 2001. Then with multi-media magic, the spirit transforms the audience back 2000 years, and then back to the present.

The spirit tells the story of the prophets; the anointed ones, the ones who loved humanity, the ones who forgave.

The Megastars of Country: A Tribute to Alan Jackson, George Strait and Brooks & Dunn

Branson MO. Critic Magazine-

“Doug Brewin brings Alan Jackson to life with his tribute to the country master! Doug resembles and sounds so much like the real Alan, he fooled our awards show full of country stars!”

Las Vegas Review Journal-

“Larry Turner’s tribute to George Strait is amazing! He looks like, sounds like and delivers a song just like George. And his impression of Kix Brooks of Brooks & Dunn is spot on!”

Impressionists Doug Brewin and Larry Turner have been working together for more than 15 years as The Mega Stars of Country and they’re considered the “best” tribute to classic country music touring today! FYI they’re booked by the “month” twice a year in Branon MO and Myrtle Beach and have played to standing ovations in Atlantic City, Las Vegas and theaters all over the country.

The tribute is over 2 hours long plus an intermission. And don’t be surprised if people start “line dancing” in front of the stage when Brooks & Dunn play their big hit single “Boot Scootin’ Boogie” which made line dancing popular back in the 90’s!

O Christmas Tea: A British Comedy

Fans of Monty Python, Mr. Bean, and Dr. Seuss… Grab your teacups!

Combining British propriety with an unabashed love for the unexpected, London’s 3-time Impresario Award-winning duo steep an outrageously funny and brilliantly inventive show reminiscent of classic British Pantos.

Rich in wordplay, comic physicality, and cleverly crafted interactive elements, O Christmas Tea is uproarious fun, yet it is the duo’s boundless imagination and endearing chemistry that provide the real magic and heart of this play.

When catastrophe strikes at James and Jamesy’s Christmas tea party, flooding the world with tea, the duo conjure wildly funny solutions to stay afloat, and sweep the audience out to sea in a jolly aquatic escapade brimming with whimsy, action, and ingenuity in a celebration of friendship at Christmas.

Hailed as “a child’s imagination on steroids” by London Free Press and “a masterpiece of physical comedy” by Theatre In London, critics rave for the charismatic James & Jamesy. A must-see performance on the international comedy circuit, this unstoppable duo is regarded as “one of the most popular fringe duos ever” (CBC).

If the cost is beyond your means, we invite you to select the subsidized ticket option.

The Highwaymen Show
Dec

The Highwaymen Show

The Highwaymen Show was created by Alabama native Gray Sartin. Gray started performing at the age of five and made his first appearance on an auto commercial. He started playing guitar at ten and at 19, he won a comedy contest doing an impression of Rodney Dangerfield. He has been professionally performing for 21 years. In 2011, Gray created the Johnny Cash Now tribute show and started performing nationwide. In 2018, Gray created another character by adding a tribute to Waylon Jennings, and that same year he started producing other multi-tribute shows including George Jones, Merle Haggard, Linda Ronstadt, Hank Williams Jr, Willie Nelson, and Kris Kristofferson.

Eventually, Gray narrowed down his multi-tribute show to The Highwaymen Show. The Highwaymen Show pays tribute to Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, and Kris Kristofferson.

This is the only touring Highwaymen show in the world that pays tribute to all four Highwaymen.

The entire show will feel like an encore.
