Located in the Heart of Owa Park in Foley. Ala, a busting mecca of world class shops, restaurants, recreational activities, and even a fully equipped theme park, the Brandon Styles Theater houses an exciting array of top notch shows, including the Brandon Styles Magic Show, Trip Down Memory Lane dinner show Murder Mystery Dinner shows, the Outta Control Comedy Show, and the theater’s signature show: the Brandon Styles Variety Show.
Featuring one man, one hour, and 60 different impressions, this rousing, one-of-a-kind variety extravaganza combines music, ventriloquism, comedy, magic, and of course, impressions, for an entertainment experience you will not find anywhere else.
Recipient of countless 5 star reviews on top travel and feedback platforms such as Trip Advisor, Brandon Styles has been consistently voted several titles including “Best Family Friendly Entertainer on the Coast”, and “Gulf Coast’s Best Date Night.”
Following our spotlight of Styles’ unbelievable magic show in 2021, we vowed to return and were afforded the opportunity to highlight this multi-dimensional entertainer’s signature show.
Styles streamlines and infuses his show with coherency by incorporating a boom box, on which he switches the channel, performing a staggering array of hits, featuring a myriad of artists and genres, ranging from the Bee Gees (featuring an unbelievable tribute during which the artist seemingly splits his voice in a two part harmony, embodying the high falsetto for which the Gibb brothers were beloved), Tina Turner, Coldplay, and a cartoonishly soulful rendition of “You’re Beautiful” by James Blunt.
Without missing a beat, Styles transitions into his role as an award-winning magician, bringing to life a vanishing act you must see in order to believe and outrageous sleight of hand. There are numerous opportunities to be an onstage star for the evening as the entertainer frequently journeys into the audience to select volunteers for numerous portions of the show, including an implausible feat during which Styles (in a rousing portrayal of the “Mind Freak”, Criss Angel) selects two audience volunteers, one whom he taps on the shoulders and arms intermittently, while the other person feels every single intentional tap from across the stage.
Additional stand out moments include an homage to lovable nerd Napoleon Dynamite, a touching rendition of “No Woman, No Cry” by Bob Marley, “Mr. Jones” by Counting Crows, a wonderfully curated tribute to Bon Jovi, as well as covers of some of the greatest hits by “The Man in Black”, Johnny Cash. Styles showcases his ventriloquism skills with a dazzling segment featuring a Linda Ronstadt puppet, during which he effortlessly nails both the soaring high and low notes in her famous duet with Aaron Neville.
This hour-long celebration of comedy, magic, and more is completed within a story book segment where Styles recites a traditional children’s nursery rhyme while impersonating Snoop Dogg, Morgan Freeman and “Family Guy’s” Stewie and Peter Griffin. The master entertainer also seamlessly executes pitch perfect impressions of former presidents including George W. Bush , Donald Trump and Barack Obama. Perhaps his most beloved tribute is to the iconic Elton John, a performance piece for which he won the prestigious World Championship of Hollywood at merely 14 years of age.
