Legends in Concert is known for elaborate theatrical sets, magnificent costumes and a full array of special effects. A cast of accomplished tribute artists, talented ensemble of singers and dancers, and a live six-piece band comprised of some of the industry’s top musicians, brought the musical experience to life.

Approximately 100 guests took in a spectacular performance, which included the likes of Elvis, Garth Brooks, Reba McEntire, Rod Stewart and Bruno Mars during that night’s event. The acts change throughout their time at the venues, and LiC is featured around the country.

Each legend sang their most-popular hits, including “Hound Dog,” “Jailhouse Rock,” “Fancy,” “Turn on the Radio,” “Just the Way You Are,” “Locked Out of Heaven,” “The Thunder Rolls,” “Callin’ Baton Rouge,” “Forever Young,” “Have I Told Lately” and more.

In addition to a fantastic performance the talents put together, their back-up singers and dancers provided an excellent compliment to the night’s concert. During the event, the singers and dancers went through several wardrobe changes to fit the motif of each singer’s songs. That was impressive.

And it should be said that the band accompaniment was great as well.

Kudos also goes to the light display that went along with the show. That was something to behold.

Those who have time to make the show, please do so. Show dates run from June 29 to July 21; July 22 to Aug. 9; Aug. 10-31; Sept. 1-8; and Sept. to Dec. 31.

You’ll leave humming your favorite tunes from the best in entertainment.
