With international acclaim and its storied history, Legends in Concert, is known as the pioneer of live tribute shows and possesses the greatest collection of live tribute artists in the industry. Initially introduced as a limited six week engagement, this Las Vegas staple now performs 10 shows a week, year round. Packed with all-star talent and powerhouse vocals from some of the world's top tribute artists, the legendary show entertains audiences of all ages. The tribute artists perform using their own natural voices, and are backed by a live band that rocks the house with vivacious back-up singers and dancers who bring the performances to life.

Legends in Concert live tribute shows are known for their elaborate theatrical sets, magnificent costumes and full array of incredible special effects, including three dimensional multimedia and multimillion dollar, state-of-the-art lighting, laser and sound systems. An outstanding cast of accomplished tribute artists, talented singers and dancers, and a live orchestra comprised of some the top musicians in the industry, support each Legends in Concert production.

What started in 1983 as a limited six week engagement at the Imperial Palace Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, now celebrates over 33 years of entertaining and was recently voted Best Tribute Show by the Las Vegas Review-Journal's Best of Las Vegas 2015 poll.Today, Legends in Concert still shines bright on the Las Vegas strip at the dazzling Flamingo Las Vegas.

The success of the Legends in Concert brand has also led to many performances and tours throughout the world, and even on Broadway in 1989, making it the first Las Vegas show to appear on the Great White Way. The show and its principal cast members have also been seen by over 100 million people on such major television networks as Fox, ABC, BBC, MTV, and many syndicated network TV shows.

Accomplished singer, Nair Cardozo, performs as Adele. Nair doubles for Adele in every way. The same dynamic, soulful voice, look, age and body type, she barely had to study Adele's mannerisms. It all comes naturally to her. She's a regular crowd pleaser with a consistently thrilling show.

International recording artist Jazmine performs as Whitney Houston. Dressing to impress and singing Whitney's best, Jazmine's magical combination of vocal talent and onstage presence makes her one of the most popular Whitney Houston tribute artists. Born right here on Long Island, Jazmine has pursued a career in the European music scene and received critical acclaim within the Latin-American community by singing in eight episodes of the popular Telemundo television show, "Sueños De Fama." She has also appeared on the WB Networks television show "Pop Stars" and on several episodes of the Dick Clark Productions' show, "Your Big Break."

Heartthrob Scott Jordan performs as Justin Timberlake. When Scott hits the stage as Justin Timberlake, it's easy to forget you're at a performance of tribute artists, and easy to believe you're hearing the real thing. A former boy-band member himself, Scott appeared on MTV's "Making the Band" and toured Europe with boy band kingpin, Lou Pearlman, in the group 21.

Long-time Legends in Concert family member Kate Steeleperforms as Lady Gaga. With pitch-perfect vocals and the most unique make-up and costumes imaginable, Kate loves the challenges of portraying such a dynamic and diverse talent as Lady Gaga. She has been performing for many years as a singer/dancer and has helped assist with many of Legends' ensemble dance and vocal rehearsals as well.

David Brighton is credited as being the world's best David Bowie impersonator. David's credits include performing side by side with David Bowie himself and recently appearing as David Bowie on VH-1 television as well as in international pop star Shakira's latest concert video.

The "Definitive ABBA Tribute Experience," ABsalute Gold, performs as ABBA with Jo-Anne Brewin as Agnetha,Becca Bongiorno as Anni-Frid Lyngstad (Frida), Michael Rooney as Bjorn / Lead Guitar / Back-up Vocals, and Matthew Whale as Benny. With beautiful harmonies, exciting choreography, and elaborate costumes that replicate the band's most popular outfits, this act is one of the best ABBA Tributes since ABBA! The four characters have the audience participating throughout the performance - singing, clapping, swaying, dancing in the aisles, and reminiscing about the days when they sang their favorite ABBA songs for the first time.

Many other tribute shows have come and gone, but Legends in Concert has withstood the test of time: "It's the Best." (The Press of Atlantic City)
