Lots of kids dream of getting onstage and
showing off their singing, dancing and acting
talents. For a lot of Branson kids, it's not
a dream. With many family shows, a lot of
kids, just like you, grow up on stage singing
and dancing for packed theatres several
days and nights a week. They are really
no different than most other kids. Official
Kids Mag caught up with three kids who
enjoy taking the stage with their moms,
dads, brothers, sisters and cousins under
the bright lights of the Branson strip. Meet
Caden Cooper. His family show is Clay
Cooper's Country Express.
