Dalena Ditto

Has anything happened to Dalena? I heard from someone that she had serious health issues.

I know she's away from Branson this month, but I was under the impression that she was doing shows on a cruise ship during her time away.

I was thinking the same thing. Dalena has't had a show in August for a few years. We usually come out in August and could never see her show - so this year we will since we will be out in September.

I do not know when she is on and when she is gone, but it you like classic country, you will love her. She is great with the audience and has more costume changes than you can imagine. Great voice! Her Wonder Woman bit will have you rolling in the floor.

We're really looking forward to seeing her show. We will be seeing her in September, for the first time.

[SweetSue]

She has a very good show, and she has an excellent rapport with the audience. Highly recommend. We wanted to see her this visit, but since she's away, we will see her show in September or October.

If you want to see her next season you'll have to track down her new location. Joey Riley will be at 2 and Les Brown at 10 and Mickey at 8. So next year, she'll have moved to another theater--make sure you get the info and don't show up at the wrong place.

Hey ya'll,

Thanks for the great comments and your concern. I am happy to say I am still doing shows at the Mickey Gilley Theatre this year beginning Sept. 9-
Dec 10. Hope to see you there.

Next year I will be performing at new venue with a new and exciting show.
All is well with Mickey and I, we just move around a lot in this town as many of you have noticed I'm sure.

On a sadder note, I know there was much confusion about myself (Dalena Ditto) and Delene Andre. Are names are so similar its easy to understand. My show is at Mickey Gilley's at 10am. Delene Andre performed at the Hughes Brothers Theatre in the Lodge of the Ozarks at 2pm. She and her husband Glen decided to go on the road this year rather than perform in Branson. Unfortunately, Delene became very ill while in Arizona where she later passed away. It was very sudden and extremely heartbreaking for all who knew her. She was a very talented lady and all of Branson misses her.

I hope this helps clear up a few questions. I'll check back and see later.
All the best, and I'll see you in Branson!

Welcome, Dalena. I am so happy that you have joined our group. It is always good to get information directly from those involved. My husband and I love your show; we have enjoyed visiting with you and your husband, too. Y'all are nice people! Our brother-in-law is Italian, and he and you had a very good visit at Gilley's Texas Café last year. And, we met your parents at a show last year; we really enjoyed that.
