Legends in Concert kicks off its all-new location and residency with an incomparable cast of music legends this summer at OWA, with the show set to debut at its new home beginning Friday, June 7. The longest-running show in Las Vegas will bring audiences to their feet with performances paying tribute to Bruno Mars, Reba McEntire, Elvis Presley, Whitney Houston, Rod Stewart and Garth Brooks, at the newly constructed OWA Theater. The show will feature not only the world’s greatest tribute artists, but also dancers, back-up vocalists, a live band, magnificent costumes, elaborate theatrical sets, a full array of incredible special effects, and much more.

“Partnering with a world-class show like Legends in Concert creates another great opportunity for guests to enjoy a memorable night out at OWA,” stated Cody Williamson, President/CEO of Creek Indian Enterprises Development Authority. “We will continue investing in exciting entertainment elements not only for our destination, but to encourage year around appeal of the Gulf Coasts for both visitors and locals alike.”

Audiences will “Treasure” the sensational tribute to Bruno Mars, portrayed by Isaiah, and “Turn On the Radio” with Corrie Sachs’ tribute to the music catalog of Reba McEntire. Witness the return of the King, Elvis Presley, portrayed by the “Hunk of Burning Love” Victor Trevino and experience the voice of a generation, with Jazmine’s powerhouse tribute to Whitney Houston.
