Tom Mullica’s Red Skelton Tribute
Event Time: 10am
Dates: Friday, July 27, 2012 - Friday, July 27, 2012
Location: The Mansion Theatre, 464 Hwy 248, Branson
Admission: $25 adult; $11 children 4-12
Tom Mullica's one-man tribute show is a living, breathing, giggling, reification of Red Skelton. Tom has eerily and happily integrated Skelton's persona with his own. He faithfully captures the gentleness, sweetness, and improvisational aspects of Red Skelton, effortlessly becoming the Red-That-Was while simultaneously inventing a Red-That-Would-Have-Been. He riffs. He touches hearts. -
