In my humble opinion...
Utah is the best place to see any Branson show! :)

I've not seen the Osmonds. But, I HAVE been to Branson (per family 
that live in Springfield, MO) and it often strikes me as sort of 
surreal experience.  
  I have seen and shook hands with a thickly pancake faced, sequined 
garbed and swaggering Bobby Vinton. 
  I have seen the Rockette's Christmas show, naturally complete with 
leg kicking numbers, but ending with a "faithful" recreation of 
the "Last Supper".  Actually, a well done recreation but still, it 
provided a sudden jolt to the system post an hour of legs moving in 
uniform. 
  I've seen billboards everywhere for Yakov Smirnoff comedy theatre. 
Which is to me is confusing. Maybe it's just me, but wasn't this guy 
schtick weak, even when we had a Cold War?  Does he reflect on the 
good old days, when the one liners were easier?
    OK, so this didn't answer your question about the Osmonds..but 
Branson is sort of otherworldly to me.
