There are bragging rights, and there are serious bragging rights. Legends in Concert has the latter, being the longest-running show currently operating on the Las Vegas Strip. If you take away the pandemic shutdown (which shut down every single show), Legends is nearing its 40th straight year in Las Vegas, a singularly amazing achievement in a city not well-known for longevity. As an added bonus, the show is now hosted by legendary drag queen Frank Marino, who shares something in common with Legends: He’s been performing on the Las Vegas Strip for nearly 40 years as well.
What really puts Legends above others like it is that everything is live—the band, the backup singers, and the impersonators themselves. No lip-synching here. When you hear Vivia Ross Scott come out as Tina Turner, belting out such classics as “Proud Mary,” you’re hearing the real deal—or, at least, that’s how it feels. Same with John Anthony as Rod Stewart and Matt Lewis as Elvis Presley.
And beginning Sept. 9, Legends presents Direct From London!, featuring tributes to legendary Brits Elton John, Freddie Mercury and George Michael.
