After a successful six-year run, the Pump Boys & Dinettes Dinner Theatre performed its last show on December 31, 1998.
A few fun statistics of what was used during this record run. The show has gone through more than a million cups of coffee, 16 pairs of wooden spoons, 25 cast changes, 240,000 dinner rolls, 30 pairs of tap shoes and 500 beaten pots & pans.
Pump Boys and Dinettes Dinner Theatre is the home of the Broadway Tony-nominated musical Pump Boys and Dinettes. The show has been charming Branson audiences and garnering rave reviews since 1993.
Theater: A black roadhouse that suggests a 'tough' crowd, but inside exudes a warm chummy feeling.
Show: Dinner theater production twice a day, lunch and dinner. Show centers around four gas station mechanics and two waitresses who are all doing their best to make it through another day without getting their hearts broken. Production has a lot of good songs and is sweet and sophisticated fitting in nicely with the small-town spirit of Branson.
The dinner is an option, but should be considered since it's better than most dinner theater type food. Good portions, and a plus, if you're still hungry they'll bring another plate. If your chair doesn't face the stage, you can turn it around or even move it for a better view.
Seating: 600
Morning Show: Broadway for Breakfast is a revue of Broadway's greatest hits. Fantastic breakfast, anything you could possibly want. It's a popular early morning stop for tour groups. Get there early, doors open at 7:45, breakfast served at 8:00, show starts at 9:00.
Good Deal: A bargain is a combined meal and show package. You can get a super saver ticket that entitles you to the breakfast and show, and dinner and show for a discounted price that is less than buying them separately. Also, a plus, the tickets don't have to be used on the same day.
Handicap access: Fair
Location: Just a third of a mile South of the Strip (W. SR 76) on 165 near Green Mountain Drive.
