Billy Ray Cyrus shows set for July 4, 5

 

(Branson, MO) - Popular recording artist and television star Billy Ray Cyrus is returning to The Will Rogers Theater in Branson for three shows on July 4 and 5, 2003.  Cyrus is back by popular demand following the enthusiastic response to his 2002 Branson appearances. 

 

SullivanShows president Joe Sullivan announced the Independence Day weekend shows today.  SullivanShows purchases talent, produces and promotes shows and special events in Branson theaters.  SullivanShows recently presented two sold-out performances of The Moody Blues in their first-ever appearances in Branson at The Welk Resort Theatre.

"Billy Ray Cyrus is unique in that he has such a dedicated following," said Sullivan.  "His fans will travel great distances to see his shows and most of them want seats at every performance.  He is a multi-talented performer with superstar status as a recording artist and television star.  His busy television schedule allows only a couple of weeks for touring this year and we are very pleased that he chose to return to Branson during this short tour."

 

Cyrus has topped the country music charts with his hits "Achy Breaky Heart," "Some Gave All," "Heart of a Woman," "Could've Been Me," "Busy Man," "She's Not Cryin' Anymore" and the critically acclaimed "Trail of Tears." He also remains on top in television ratings as handsome country doctor Clint Cassidy in the hit drama series "Doc" on PAX-TV.

 

Billy Ray Cyrus stormed onto the music scene in 1993 when his debut album, "Some Gave All," held the number one spot on Billboard Magazine's Hot 100 Album chart for 17 consecutive weeks.  This is the longest time this spot has been held by a debut artist and a record that still stands today.  He has multi-platinum ("Some Gave All" - 1992), platinum ("It Won't Be The Last" - 1993) and gold ("Storm In The Heartland" - 1994) albums to his credit plus the critically acclaimed "Trail of Tears" - 1996. Cyrus has maintained his success worldwide, earning multi-platinum certifications in Australia; platinum in Denmark, New Zealand and Norway; and gold in the United Kingdom and South Africa.

 

Cyrus is completing his third season as the star of "Doc" which remains PAX-TV's top-rated show.  Cyrus plays Montana doctor Clint Cassidy who moves to New York City.  TV Guide says the show combines the moral lessons of "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman" with the "fish-out-of-water conceit of 'Northern Exposure.'"  In 2001, the Parents Television Council named "Doc" the second most "family-friendly" program on television, second only to "Touched By An Angel."

 

Tickets to the Friday, July 4^th and Saturday, July 5^th concerts in Branson are available through Ozark Ticket and Travel on line and by calling 1-888-493-1222 and phone through The Will Rogers Theater box office at 417-334-7100.
