Direct from Las Vegas, Carpenters Legacy: A Christmas Portrait with the Superstar Orchestra, starring Sally Olson as Karen Carpenter and Ned Mills as Richard Carpenter, takes the audience back in time to an old fashioned Christmas. The show recreates the nostalgia of the Carpenters' Christmas television specials and features the holiday classics "Merry Christmas, Darling", "Sleigh Ride", "The Christmas Song” and much more, and includes many of the Carpenters’ greatest hits. Carpenters Legacy maintains a residency in the V Theater at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas with executive producer Johnny Stuart, creator of Legends In Concert. The show has played to performing arts centers, cabarets spaces including the famed Triad Theater in NYC, and SOLD OUT showrooms in Las Vegas and all over the country. The show was the featured entertainment for both the Carpenters 50th Anniversary Celebration (2019) and the Carpenters 55th Anniversary Celebration (2024) at the Downey Theatre in Downey, California (home of the Carpenters.) Carpenters Legacy is a six time winner of the Best of Las Vegas Awards and was voted “Best Impersonator” (Gold), “Best Tribute Show (Bronze) and “Best Family-Friendly Show” (Bronze) in 2023. The show is also a 2024 TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice Awards winner. Olson and Mills are the first-ever and only Karen and Richard Carpenter tribute artist to perform with the world-renowned Las Vegas based revue Legends In Concert.
Carpenters Legacy is nothing short of astounding and features a powerful live performance, historical commentary, lovely arrangements and video, taking audiences on an incredible journey down memory lane into the world of the Carpenters – the world’s ONLY authentic Carpenters tribute in sight and sound.
