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.
