Legends set to wow Foxwoods audiences with holiday show

Saturday, November 7th, 2009

Legends In Concert, the world’s greatest live tribute show, brings their signature holiday show to North America’s largest casino. After a wildly successful summer at Foxwoods, Legends will return with a crowd pleasing holiday line-up beginning November 27th.

Foxwood’s casino-goers will be delighted by two holiday icons, Bing Crosby and Elvis Presley and fans will be enamored by two different shades of Christmas. Bing’s “White Christmas” and Elvis’ “Blue Christmas” are two of the most recognizable holiday anthems that are guaranteed to have Foxwood’s audiences reveling in holiday memories.

This may quite possibly be the most intriguing holiday line-up that On Stage Entertainment’s Legends In Concert has ever produced on one stage. Aside from the obvious holiday staples, Bing and Elvis, Legends presents the undeniable harmonies of the Temptations coupled with the worldwide appeal of Sammy Davis, Jr. and Liza Minnelli.

Foxwood’s visitors could not ask for more talent and holiday cheer in one single production! Five of the world’s top requested tribute acts backed by a collection of the best musicians, dancers, and singers that the tribute industry has to offer.

In addition to such a memorable holiday line-up, Legends and Foxwoods are offering guests phenomenal savings packages including $69.99 per couple for Dinner at the Festival Buffet and the Legends Holiday Show or $149.99 per couple for a one night stay, dinner at Festival Buffet and the Legends Holiday Show.

If you demand the best in entertainment, dining, and gaming for your dollar then Foxwoods and Legends In Concert is your first and only choice in the northeast! Close out 2009 with lasting memories! To purchase your tickets today click here

Wednesday, October 14th, 2009

Fresh off his admirable 3rd place finish at the Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest in Memphis, Kevin Mills took a few moments out of his busy nightly routine to sit down and answer a few spur of the moment questions for us at our Myrtle Beach Legends In Concert location.kevin-mills

  1. What is your favorite memory to date performing as an Elvis Tribute Artist?

“It was performing at the 2009 Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest in Memphis and Placing Third in the world, It was an honor to win such a prestigious award.”

 2. If you could be a tribute to any other act beside Elvis who would  it be and why? 

“I haven’t thought much about that because my main focus is the art of doing Elvis.  Although, I really enjoy Johnny Cash. If I had the chance I would choose Johnny Cash because its easy for me to mimic his voice. I’ll occasionally perform an impromptu Cash song in my set.”

  3. What is your personal record for most scarves tossed into the crowd in one evening, where & when ?

 ”Oh! (laughs) Taj Mahal in Atlantic City NJ in 1997, I think it was around 30!! The ladies just wouldn’t stop coming to the stage, but I was ready for them.”

4. How many jumpsuits do you accidentally rip yearly?

 ”They all have there moments.”

5. More on the jumpsuits… How many different jumpsuits have you owned since becoming an ETA and what is the most you have ever spent on a jumpsuit?

“I currently own 8 jumpsuits and the most expensive is the ALOHA suit which cost $3500.00!”

 6. Beside yourself of course, what other Elvis Tribute Artist’s do you consider to be in the top 5 in the United States?

“I really enjoy Shawn Klush, Ryan Pelton, Donnie Edwards, Leo Days and Tony Roi”

 7. What are your favorite pro sports teams? If you could play one sport professionally, which one it be and why?

 ” That’s easy, Baseball. My favorite team is the Philadelphia Phillies. I always played ball as a kid in south Philly growing up, actually it was stick ball but my dream as a kid was to play first base for the Phillies.”

 8. What is the weirdest encounter you’ve ever had with an adoring female fan?

“I would have to say the time one women actually leaped on the stage to get a scarf. (laughing) I mean she was at my knees begging for one. I thought that was funny, but sweet.”

 9. If you weren’t an Elvis Tribute Artist, what would you be your profession? 

 ”I love to cook and I was in the restaurant business for 12 years, I would love to be a chef.”

 10. To date, at which Legends In Concert venue have you had the most fun?

“I really enjoyed my stay here in Myrtle Beach because the cast I have worked with are really cool and fun to hang out with, also there is so much to do here in Myrtle. I especially love the beach.”

 11.  Blue Hawaii or Love Me Tender?

 ”Love me Tender….the ladies love it!”

Thank you Kevin!

Rob Caudill as Rod Stewart opened the show and set the tone with his raucous opening set which included the well-known closer, ”Maggie May”, that had an eager and willing audience singing along.

The opening night performance also included spot-on performances from Cher, Tom Jones, Whitney Houston, and Elvis Presley tributes.

Next on was Steve McCoy, who like the real Tom Jones, had ladies swooning in their seats as he ripped through all of Tom Jones’ classics with unfettered passion. Whitney Houston tribute, Jazmine, took the stage next belting out all of Whitney’s greatest hits and ending off with her biggest chart-topper, “I Will Always Love You.”  In fitting Legends In Concert style, the last tribute to take front and center stage for the evening was Leo Days as Elvis Presley. Leo, a semi-finalist in the Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest, churned out hit after hit from the King of Rock-n-Roll in grand fashion. Leo brought the crowd to their feet on several occasions during his closing set.

The evening concluded with a rousing finale’ followed by a thunderous standing ovation!  Each legend brought a unique excitement to their signature act on this maiden voyage with Foxwoods.  All of these top-notch tributes combined with dazzling  dancers, remarkable backing singers, and a  heavy-hitting, no holds barred rock band made for a classic opening night at our newest venue.
