| - This is a WHOLESOME family fun event. And I mean that both in the good way and the bad way. It's a Mormon family that owns it, and that isn't a bad thing, but this is obviously not going to be an event with alcohol, cursing, or anything disturbing.
We brought 6 adults and 6 children under the age of 9. Clearly this is a show that kids love, whether the gunfight at the end, the activities before the show, or little things like the ghostrider song with a real rider in sheets outside the theater and then making a brief entrance.
The songs were good and... wholesome. Probably like a show in Branson, MO would be.
Anyway, feed is decent for what it is. But for the love of GOD, stay away from the chicken. It wasn't edible. In fact, it bordered on undercooked, and looked boiled witth a thin layer of barbeque sauce baked on (not grilled on).
The beef is like thin strips of roast beef, well done, slathered in a mild BBQ sauce. Apple sauce was tasty, beans were just okay, potato was small with a pat of butter. Biscuit, non-greasy and just perfect, was delicious with the bottle of honey at the table. You drank the equivalent of lemonade crystal light.
The show is about 1.5 hours of singing... quite long. All in all, it's about a 3.5 hour piece of entertainment.
So who do I recommend it for?
1) Families with young kids, especially ones enthralled with "cowboys."
2) AZ people bringing in families or guests from out of state that lean towards enjoying wholesome, somewhat "cheesy" fun. Specifically, if they say something like... "let's do something very southwest... or better... old west." then you are on the right track... much better than old town Scottsdale.
3) Older people that like theater out of something that felt like it could have been a reenactment of a cowboy themed dinner shoe in the 50's or 60's.
If you are a young couple or middle age couple without children, I doubt you will find a lot of fun in it.
And remember, don't get the chicken!
