Yakov Smirnoff headlines his own Branson theatre, and has done so for many years – but he’s now thinking of ways to share his stage with new shows for next season. One of those names is Barry Williams. Williams grew up on television, playing older brother Greg on the Brady Bunch. The last two weeks he’s been headlining a one-man show at Yakov’s theatre, a dress rehearsal of sorts for the fall of 2012.
