The nation’s first Beatles museum is scheduled to open in March of 2009 in Branson’s Starlite Theater. Louise Harrison, sister of the late George Harrison, who founded and manages the Liverpool Legends Beatles tribute band, is opening the museum. She will supply the museum with memorabilia from her personal collection that has never been publicly displayed before, including postcards and letters written by George Harrison, and early rejection letters from some less than prescient radio stations that professed no interest in the Beatles music. The only other public Beatles museum in the world is called the Beatles Story and it is located in Liverpool, England. The new Branson museum, however, is expected to surpass the Beatles Story museum in size.
After enjoying the museum, Beatles fans can stay and listen to classic Beatles songs performed by Beatles imitators, the Liverpool Legends, in the lovely Starlite Theatre, which includes a five story glass atrium decorated with strawberry fields, yellow submarines, London red phone booths, and the familiar Abbey Road Crosswalk. The Liverpool Legends perform hits from the band’s early days on through to songs from the later solo careers of John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison.
To order tickets to enjoy the museum and see the Liverpool legends perform contact the Starlite box office at (417) 337-9333 or you can also visit the Starlite Theater website at http://www.starlitetheatre.com

This is the perfect compliment – a show and a museum, just like Roy Rogers and Dale Evans Museum!
I have always loved the Beatles, I cannot wait to see the show and explore the museum.
The first US Beatles museum ever? I don’t believe it!
I think its pretty cool that Branson has a Beatles connection with George Harrison’ sister. I wouldn’t call myself a Beatles fan really but I do like some of their songs and some of John Lennon’s solo stuff so I would probably check out the museum and the show. It kind of expands Branson’s image beyond the Country Western and the Osmonds stereotype too. I mean the Beatles were British and all…you know city slickers from that other continent.
Wow how cool a Beatles museum and a show I caint wait for this to open so I can go see it.
This is really exciting, I can wait to see the show and go through the museum, the Beatles are awesome.
Wow! Beatles fans are going to go crazy over this.
This should be the perfect addition to the starlight theater, allowing for a complete Beatles experience!
I love the Beatle’s music! And a Beatle’s museum to go along with it?! What could be better than that?
I can’t believe that there are not that many museums in the world that pay tribute to the them. My dad tells me that they were a big craze when he was just a young lad in Mexico.
To me its just amzing that after so many years its the Beatles are very popular.
That seem to sound pretty cool, my grandma would love it if i took her down there when she comes to visit me.
The Beatles fans are going to go crazy Im not much of a Beatles fan but I would still love to go see it.
This sounds like it would be something fun to go to.
I can’t believe no one has ever thought of this, everyone loves the beatles. A nice museum and and amazing show. I def have to make an apearence.
does anyone know any updates on this?
WOW! The fist Beatles museum. WOW This sound like fun will have to check this out for sure.
I saw the Liverpool Legends at Branson and I think this new Museum will add so much to anyone that sees the show.
It is kind of crazy that there hasn’t been another Beatles Museum in the states yet.
I absolutely love the Beatles and I am glad i can go to their museum in Branson.
That’s great. I would love to go see the Beatles Museum.
