FOLEY – For the first time in history, four Legends come together for an incredible engagement to kick off the 2020 fall Legends in Concert Season starting Sept. 17 at the OWA Theater. The longest-running and most-awarded show in Las Vegas, Legends in Concert, will pay tribute to some of the biggest icons and luminaries in British music history (including Elton John, Freddie Mercury, Rod Stewart and George Michael) together on one stage.

Direct From London will feature not only the world’s greatest tribute artists, but also high energy

dancers, back-up vocalists, a live band, magnificent costumes, elaborate theatrical sets, a full

array of incredible special effects, and much more.

Fans will experience Fernando Castro’s flamboyant stage persona and four octave vocal range

tribute to Freddie Mercury, the lead singer of Queen, while being mesmerized by the stunning

wardrobe, vocals and musicianship of Rus Anderson as the incomparable Elton John. Rob

Caudill as Rod Stewart returns by popular demand after appearing in the inaugural line-up for the theater in 2019. Michael Knight also returns from the holiday show, to pay homage to George Michael, and you can have “Faith” he will have you dancing in your seat all night.

“We are thrilled to launch this all-new production in Coastal Alabama. This lineup brings to life

many of the greatest hits of all time that charted not only in the United Kingdom, but also in

America, from four of the biggest selling recording artists in music history,” said Brian Brigner,

Chief Operating Officer of Legends in Concert. “Since opening last summer, our number one goal is to continue to bring ever-involving shows and dynamic performances to our adoring fans in the region, and baffle even the most critical skeptics as they watch in bewildered amazement, at the greatest tribute artists in the world. We also have developed robust safety measures for all areas of the theater, that focuses on your safety and the health and safety of our staff and cast members allowing our guests to enjoy their experience without concern.”

Legends in Concert continues to celebrate the world’s most famous and influential superstars.

Many of these icons are gone too soon which is why these performances give audiences an

extraordinary chance to experience the most captivating music, fashion and memories of these

true legends live on one stage. All singing 100% live!

Legends in Concert will debut this new show with performances Sept. 17 – Nov.

1 at the state-of-the-art OWA Theater, Thursday through Saturday at 7:30 p.m., and with

weekend matinee performances on Sundays at 3 p.m. Saturday matinee shows at 3 p.m. will be
