‘Revollusionists’ set for Music City Centre..

By Joshua Clark for Branson Tri-Lakes News..

“The Revollusionists,” a new show set to debut at Music City Centre next month, is being touted as “something never before seen in Branson,” according to Inderjit Grewal, co-producer and theater owner.

But though O-town offers evening attractions built around jousting knights, mystery-solving sleuths and surreal circus stunts, no one has succeeded with a large-scale illusion production like you’ll find in Las Vegas. Lately, however, I’ve become aware of a more modest magicians’ resurgence
