Legends In Concert

Saw this show on Monday June 13 at 9:30. The theater itself is small and cozy. I didn’t mind the seating, but the booths would be a little uncomfortable if sitting with strangers. The old style of theater was really cool in my opinion.
We paid for two balcony tickets online, and ended up the second people in line for the show. The usher looked and our tickets and declared he didn’t want to walk all the way up the stairs and down again, and led us up to the front. We ended up seated in the second row, which was a nice surprise. The theater was not full at all, and we got two drinks. Two mixed drinks in a plastic cup the size of a red solo cup came to a total of $ 23 not counting tip. Welcome to Vegas. Just a tip: the credit card machine was incredibly slow, so if you’re an impatient person pay with cash. There are two big screens on the sides of the stage that show both the performers and the actual artists in a really cool manner.
First up was Prince. To me, he looked a LOT like Prince, and did a pretty good job. All the artists performed 5 songs (except for Elvis but I mean: Elvis.) Prince moved around and danced a lot, maybe more than actual Prince did after he was so famous, but it seemed in character.
Next was Lady Gaga. I was most excited for her, because she’s my generation and I’d never seen a Gaga impersonator. She was actually so disappointing. The artist put all these fake accents on and added a lot of unnecessary bravado to her voice to the point it seemed like a parody. The costumes were good though. The older people couldn’t tell that she wasn’t like her and seemed to enjoy it at least. I think a big part of it is she slowed the songs down and made them more like ballads and less pop.
Next was Whitney Houston. She was SO good. Her voice was wonderful, costumes great, and mannerisms seemed on par. I really enjoyed her.
Last was Elvis. At the very beginning I wasn’t sure but he was the best without a doubt. My Mom is a huge Elvis fan and said he was really good. I enjoyed his performances. The bit was different rock songs ending with Viva Las Vegas, a good way to go out. Afterwards you could get pictures and stuff, and they gave out «free» tickets to Divas but ran out (I ended up getting some anyways.)
The band was good, especially the saxophone player. He was phenomenal! There were 2 female dancers, 2 female back singers/​dancers, and 2 male dancers. One male dancer was significantly better than the other. The one that looked younger smirked and it looked like winked a lot which was awkward but the one with shorter hair was really good. ¾ female dancers were really good. 1 was just kind of meh. Overall I loved the show. I only took 1 star off because of the 2 star Lady Gaga performance.

Legends in Concert is a Las Vegas show where you can suspend disbelief for over an hour. The unbelievably talented impersonators look identical to the legends. Their mannerisms and voices are also identical to the legends. When I saw Legends in Concert while suspending disbelief in the house were the Blues Brothers, Lady Gaga, Elvis Presley, and Prince.
I am familiar with Legends. This familiarity goes back to the summer of 1996 when I saw Legends in the Imperial Palace. When Legends played here, it was old school Las Vegas all the way. The inexpensive tickets were inexpensive and included an adult beverage. I’d see Legends a few more times at Imperial Palace. When I first started seeing Legends the show got major publicity when the real and impersonator Kenny Rogers were standing side by side and people mistook the impersonator for the real legend. Around this time there was a documentary on how tough it is to become a Legend impersonator. Anyways the show moved to Harrah’s for awhile then recently to The Donnie & Marie Showroom at the Flamingo. It was in this showroom that we would see Legends in Concert on June 2.
In familiar style to many of the Las Vegas shows that we have seen, we stopped at Tix 4 Tonight. I highly recommend them for show discounts. We landed front row seats to the 9:30 PM show.
The nice thing about seeing a show in the Donnie & Marie theatre is that it is intimate. There really isn’t a bad seat in the house. It is an intimate theatre with the touch of Old Las Vegas. It seems like the Flamingo never touched it since Bugsy Seagal was around. This intimate theatre is really a historical landmark. The old Las Vegas permeates through the booth tables throughout the place. After sitting in the front row and sharing my pictures below the Review, I assert that the show was hyper-​realistic.
In similar style to the previous Legends shows that I have seen there were four sets plus the ending where all the Legends perform. Tonight I saw the Blues Brothers, Prince, Lady Gaga, and Elvis Presley.
The Blues Brothers started off in the Master of Ceremony role and reappeared after Prince. The Blues Brothers looked so much like John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd that it was scary. They rocked out «Soul Man» a Contours song, and the jokes. They could easily branch off from Legends and headline their own show. They also did a good job interacting with the audience.
A few weeks after Prince sadly passed away, it was nice to feel like I was seeing him live. The songs included «Purple Rain,» «I Would Die for You, „and“ 1999.» There were a couple of costume changes. My only critique is that he did not play lead guitar in «Purple Rain» like Prince did.
I never really caught Lady Gaga’s act. However, her impersonator put on a great act. Lady Gaga interacted with the audience explaining how she is a legend in the making. The set included two costume changes and the songs «Poker Face» and «Imagine.»
Without fail, the King of Rock & Roll was in the building. He came on at the end. The Elvis sets included the leather jacket worn in the 1968 Comeback Special and the white jumpsuit of the «Aloha from Hawaii Satellite Special. The songs included «Suspicious Minds,» «Hound Dog,» «Jailhouse Rock,» and «Can’t Help Falling in Love.» Elvis interacted with the audience when he joked about his latest hit that was out fifty years ago and placing a scarf on a starstruck women in the audience.
When the show concluded the Legends did not leave the building. The unusual ending to the show is that it continued outside the showroom where the Legends posed for pictures and signed autographs.

Wow what a fun show! We were lucky enough to sit right up front and what a riot that was! The blues brothers guys were phenomenal! They looked, acted, and sounded just like Ackroyd and Belushi. Go see it!

Such a great show!!! Golden circle tickets for 45 on groupon. Saw prince, Adele, Michael Jackson and the blues brothers. The show is an hour long only so I wish they replaced the blues brothers with Taylor swift, or Celine or Cher or Justin timberlake.
Highly recommend!!!

On my show we saw Prince, Adele, blues brothers and frank sinatra. Im not sure what it is with these tribute shows and giving us so few tribute artists but they post about 6 – 8 on the flyer. To boot the ones i really want to see didnt even play. Before you buy a ticket make sure to ask whos playing that night. Also, the theater was half empty with plenty of booths available but the dumb box office agent sat us with a group of 4 other people in one booth when there were clearly three other booths open on each side of us when we arrived late.
I wouldnt see the show again considering you never really know whos going to play and the odd layout of the theater makes it uncomfortable.
The singers and dancers were great performers, but nothing thatd id go back for or pay to see again.

I was so excited to see Legends. $ 200 for decent seats is way too much for average talent and only a bit over an hour of entertainment. It would have been more fun losing that money playing craps.

I wish I could have seen some of the other impersonators mentioned in other reviews. It was as funny as it was entertaining. Although, I don’t think it is meant to be funny.
Tom Jones was too much! Hilarious. Elvis was good and equally as entertaining.
Taylor Swift, Michael Jackson and Frank Sinatra were all good.
The theatre itself is dated, dirty and the drink selection is limited.
For the money I would choose something else.

I went on Sept 5 with friends and family. I’m a local and was able to get very cheap tickets. I went there not expecting much but thought my family and friends would enjoy the show and we were pleasantly surprised. A great show. The best part about it was Elvis, he was fantastic!!! We were told by the band on stage that evening that this was Elvis’s last show there. I’m sure another venue saw what a great talent this guy has and scooped him under contract quick. Hopefully the new act will be as good.
We also had Michael Jackson, Barry White, Celine Dion, and Tom Jones who was mediocre and made lewd sexual motions with his groin and hands which I don’t think was appropriate because there were children in the audience and it’s not something that Tom Jones would do. I wish the entertainer would stay in character please. Outside of that it was a good show and I would recommend it.

This show has the best Elvis impersonator in Vegas! Absolutely one of the best shows in Vegas. I really wasn’t expecting this show to be that great and it was an awesome performance by all the cast. I thought the backup dancers were excellent and would have loved to have met them after the show as well.

Went last night to see this concert with my brother and sister with our spouses. I highly recommend this Concert! We were all dancing in our seats. I couldn’t believe how much they resemble and sang like the original singers. We were all blown away! We really enjoyed ourselves and would come back!!!

This was certainly a great show! If you want to relive Michael Jackson’s moonwalk, check this show out! Although they have different artists from time to time, we saw quite a few, including: Michael Jackson, Celine Dion, Barry White, Steven Tyler, Elvis, and a couple more. They all did a great job sounding — and looking — like their true celebrity performer.
After the show, you can meet the performers and take pictures with them. They are all really nice and genuinely willing to hang out and talk after the show.
The venue is the only problem. The theater is old-​school Vegas so it’s cramped and most of the tables don’t actually face the stage (neck brace, anyone?). The resort should really remodel the place and update it to make it more comfortable for patrons, but I can’t rate the actual show based on the theater itself. Each artist was great and made you feel like you were watching the real thing. I would certainly see this show again as they swap out performers.

Love love love this show!
Ok so I’m not big on impersonators but this one is the best I’ve seen. The cast of characters isn’t always the same. But I was so happy with this show that I want to see all of them!!!
We sat in the first set of booths towards the stage. First off if you pick booth seating there are 6 seats to each booth and they do sell the other seats. So it was a bit awkward sitting with two other couples. But our seats were really good.
This performance had Michael Jackson was so good! Barry White also so good! Steven Tyler almost dead on in looks and singing! Britney Spears who sucked!!! She was so stiff and sounded terrible but she looked good except this girl had no sex appeal and Britney Spears is all about sex appeal. Then came Elvis, so good!!! Amazing!!! I would say best Elvis I’ve seen. All of the impersonators sing live and dance. There is a part in the show where Elvis sits on stage and takes requests so every show is different. But do not request viva Las Vegas! Any song but that one! At the end there is a meet and greet in front. Oh and when walking in they take your picture and you can get it after the show. Our photo wasn’t found when we came out. So that sucked.

Such a great show! All singers are so talented and on point with their vocals. Each impersonator does at least 4 songs so you get to hear and enjoy each artist.
We got to see Celine Dion, Michael Jackson, Barry White, Elvis & Steven Tyler impersonators and you certainly feel like you’re watching actual artists.
I recommend this as a family show and if you love rock, pop or r&b music!
The seats can be a little uncomfortable though because they have booths and regular chairs and the venue itself is a little dated so I definitely think the theatre needs a makeover.

I got one ticket for full price and a free ticket… for 73 dollars for both. in a magazine that had a coupons. not bad.the show is about 1 hr ½
.it’s beautiful. .great performance and I almost belived I was at the Cesar palace watching celine dion… yeah that’s how good it is… is worth go seen it…

This long-​running show is always evolving, and I hadn’t seen it for quite awhile. On a revisit I was impressed with the nice sets and sounds, and very fine dancing on stage. Tribute artists were right on with voice and physical impressions of Lady Gaga, Michael Jackson, and Cher, and the Blues Brothers’ performance was excellent. Costumes were colorful and varied.
Although he sang an excellent ballad, only the Tom Jones character seemed to be too chunky and not quite a good fit for the role. I thought Lady Gaga playing the piano was a nice touch. And, the talented backup band itself is worth the price of admission.
The show I saw was very good overall, and since featured celebrity singers often alternate, worth another look another day.
A live four-​star presentation!

I called to buy tickets in the balcony section only to find out it isn’t wheelchair accessible. As it turns out if I want to watch the show, I am forced to buy the more expensive priced tickets because that is the section where they have wheelchair accessible seating. When I pointed out the unfairness of their system, the ticket agent said that’s how it works out.
I don’t support businesses that have a two tier system based on their patrons abilities. I won’t be going to see this show.

The entertainment value of this show is obviously dependent on the ability of the every changing to recreate the performances of the musical legends. The featured legends on our recent visit were Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, Bobby Darin, Barbra Streisand and Elvis. Each was talented, but none came close to being spot on. For example, Britney Spears actually sang live rather than lip synched. How unprofessional of her! LOL

Wayyyy more fun then we expected. Tina Turner was a bit funny because she was sooo short :) MJ was awesome, that guy is seriously talented in his dance moves.
Elvis was a strange mix of skinny and fat elvis but the older ladies seemed to love him.
Cher was pretty good.
DON’T ORDER ANYTHING TO DRINK– WAAAYYYYY OVERPRICED AND TAKES TOO LONG! A TOTAL RIP OFF– NOT SURE WHY I’M SO SURPRISED…

I had a comp ticket for the show last night. It’s in the Donny and Marie Theatre. The line to get in was very long, but it moved along quickly. You stop at the obligatory tourist photo area (I politely declined and I got through without having to pose for a goofy photo I wouldn’t buy anyway).
Once to the podium in the theatre, an usher asked if I was alone. When I answered yes, he said, «Walk this way.» No he really didn’t but Marty Feldman did. The usher took me to the front row by the stage stairs. He took out a felt marker and initialed my ticket and told me to enjoy the show. Score! I stopped to see him on the way out.
The show began promptly at 9:30 and what followed was a 75 minute show that featured 4 impersonators of famous entertainers. First up was Cher. The woman who did this was very good, the best of the four this evening. When she opened with Gypsies, Tramps, and Thieves she had me from the get go. Then Half Breed. Hell, I was in heaven by now. She not only sounded good, she looked the part, too! There was audience participation on stage for one poor guy who was a good sport and had fun clowning and singing with her. I’m glad I don’t fit the stereotype she might be looking for to join her on stage. Besides, I do my scowl well. It’s been practiced enough!
Next up was the Michael Jackson impersonator. He was just OK. His dance and body moves were much better than his vocal impersonation. The two better numbers he did were Thriller and Billie Jean.
Next up was the Tina Turner impersonator. She was the weakest in the lineup last night. I don’t think she sounded like Turner at all. She mangled Proud Mary as far as I was concerned. I was glad when her numbers were over.
Last came Elvis. I guess an impersonator show in Las Vegas wouldn’t be complete without the King! This guy was OK. However, we have so many Elvis impersonators in Las Vegas that many of them would outshine this guy. He did a credible job but he really had a baby face. He redeemed himself somewhat in the finale when he did Viva Las Vegas. How can I knock him too much?
The back up singers and dancers were good. The choreography could be better. It looks perfunctory at times, The three dressed in showgirl outfits with head dresses for the Viva Las Vegas number were top notch.
Backing up the group was a 5 piece band that had a great sound. They played well and it made the vocals better.
All in all, not a bad show and a nice diversion for a tourist who wants to leave the tables or machines for a break.

Lucked into free tickets to last night’s show– was seated in the front row, to the right of the stage. Face value of ticket was $ 70, which seems about right.
The featured acts from last night were as follows:
Madonna– singer doesn’t really sound like her, very forced and doesn’t seem to do too much singing, but I could be wrong. Impressive costume changes, but the singer does not look like Madonna until the «Like a Virgin» part. I did like that she interacted quite a bit with the audience.
Michael Buble– guy bears a passing resemblance to the singer he’s impersonating, and has a good voice, too. Not on part with the real thing, but hey, this is Vegas. Loved this set, probably my favorite of the evening, especially «I Just Haven’t Met You Yet» and «Home». Wouldn’t mind seeing this guy again.
Michael Jackson– despite many reviews here saying this performer was the best by far, I disagree. The resemblance is uncanny and his dance moves are amazing though, I will say. Maybe I’m just not that much of an MJ fan. It was obvious that he was doing very little singing, a lot of lip syncing, and mostly just providing the extra noises and grunts, etc to go along with the music, and little of the actual singing. The dancing though was very impressive. I’m glad «Thriller» was done, and «Billy Jean» was better than I would have expected.
Elvis– great hair on this guy, good voice and dance moves, too. Felt that this performer was better than the one from All Shook Up at the V Theater, though this performance obviously has a much higher budget. Did a sampling of all the great hits, including most memorably «Blue Suede Shoes» and «Heartbreak Hotel».
All in all, it was a decent show– the dancers really made the music come alive, even when the audio wasn’t that great or the performer did not seem to be singing live.
