I am leaving 5 stars because the show deserves it. Just the fact these people can get up there and share their talents is enough for me. But I’m going to be brutally honest as I hope anyone would be to me. I don’t believe in saying someone sounded amazing when they didn’t. Johnny Cash was first, his mannerisms were spot on, he sounded a little like Cash and was a good singer and performer. Enjoyed him. Adele stepped out and the makeup was on the scary side with the black blush and white powder. She had a very strong voice and is very talented, but she struggled with the higher notes, the background singer had to help her and it was VERY obvious. Girl, keep at it, you are doing more than I ever could! Blues Brothers, fantastic as always. They carried the show for me. Michael Jackson is such a great showman. Vocals were ok, the mic and sound was crackling but the dancing and mannerisms were perfect as always!! Elvis. Handsome Elvis. Mostly he did great, sounds just like the real deal and even looks like him. He sang how great thou art which I voted for, but wow the ending. That final note had me squeezing my buttcheeks together like I learned to do years ago to hit those notes and not go flat. He was so off on that note that he was hitting the note a step down and clashing with the final chords. I don’t know if his in ear was not working or what. It happened a few more times and it was not good… Sorry Elvis :/ The two background singers were simply amazing. I’m sorry I already forgot their names but they were really good! Dancers too, all the girls were tastefully dressed in pretty costumes and looked amazing. My husband said I needed to quit listening like a singer and just enjoy it. But most singers can hear things. And again, I enjoyed the show so much, it’s our second time to see it, and I’ll be back for sure. Just all of you being able to get up in front of an audience and perform is amazing. Keep doing what you do, Legends. I’m still a fan and...

We bought full price tickets (at the Legends box office in person) for 3 p.m. Tuesday show. By all accounts, hotel publication and online info, we thought we were going to see the Legends listed for spring, including Toby Keith and Elvis impersonators.
Instead, we got 2 hours of acapella with the brothers Six. They sang okay, they're older and move slower, especially the orange jacket brother who looked pained (really stiff). I don't begrudge stiff joints but definitely few smiles.
In any event, ask if the performance you pay for is acapella group Six or actual legends impersonators.
*Contrary to reply below, website for The Legends does not clarify which days or shows are actually Six vs Legends. Lots of colors but you gotta dig elsewhere to find Six specifically listed with clear dates and times.
The reality was getting tickets in person at box office, expecting to see the Legends, and no one in box office pointing out that the tickets were for Six, not The Legends. No third party blame here. This was at the box office.
All I recommended was ask in person at box office if what you are getting are tickets for Six or The Legends. Apparently, some people, like me, assumed it was The Legends so I didn't confirm. And honestly, when Six started the show, I thought well maybe first half of show was Six and second half of show was The Legends. I was so wrong. So heads up to those reading reviews. Be sure to confirm "at the box office", or phone or whatever, what...
Read moreFirst, I am a local and have been here before. It has been a minute though. Last time the show was A+ start to finish. Seems like this time the "best" was in the beginning BEFORE "Michael Jackson" and "Elvis". Before intermission. When Michael came on, we don't know what the heck was going on. But it was terrible. Dance moves were great and pretty spot on but vocals were just....BAD. I kind of felt genuinely embarrased for him. I don't know if it was an ear monitor issue or what. But he was way off. Elvis was entertaining but again not quite what should have been or what I have experienced in the past. Lady Gaga surprised me when it came to some musical notes. I really thought she was going to botch things up but NO. She must have had great vocal training because although at times I thought she was trying too hard instead of being more natural, she really did put on a good and enjoyable performance. The stars of the show, The Blues Brothers. Simply AMAZING. It was worth the price of admission for us to just see them. It was so good. Now that was entertainment. I would go see a show with just them if it was offered. They have a great talent. Overall the venue was still very clean and modern. Staff was welcoming and friendly as always! The gift shop really needs ambiance and updating on their merchandise but still was ok. Overall the venue and show is worth it to pass some time if you are in the area! It was worth it before...
