Music-lovers and Hollywood fans would need a time machine and a ton of money to see all the legendary performers of yesteryear live in concert. But it only takes a ticket and a little imagination to see the next best thing at Legends in Concert in Myrtle Beach.
Highlighting the most popular musical and comedy acts of the past six decades, Legends in Concert offers visitors of all ages the chance to see tribute artists do their best impersonations of the stars, from the Rat Pack of the 1950s to today's current artists.
Watch the generation gap melt away as children learn about what their parents and grandparents used to listen to at the sock hops and discos, and the youngsters can teach the older folks a thing or two about today’s pop culture in a family-friendly performance that will have young and old dancing in the aisles.
This Las Vegas-based chain of theaters showcases the top talent on the national circuit, and the Myrtle Beach venue is one of the best stops on their tour. Located at Broadway at the Beach in a renovated concert hall, Legends in Concert features first-class sound, lighting and high-tech special affects to go with the top-notch talent.
Performing a tribute show that covers all the most popular acts of the past and present, these spot-on impersonators wow the crowds with their ability to mimic every aspect of famed performers' on-stage persona. The acts are so famous that audience members both young and old can sing along to the songs and deliver the classic punch lines.
Theater-goers are amazed by the striking similarities of such late, great performers as Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, Frank Sinatra, Michael Jackson, and Patsy Cline. Legends in Concert also covers more current artists, such as Bruce Springsteen, Garth Brooks, Madonna, Eminem, Lady Gaga and more. Where else could you see such an eclectic lineup in one show?
Legends in Concerts' new location at Broadway at the Beach gives patrons the opportunity to enjoy a nice evening out for dinner and a show. Surrounding restaurants like Rioz Brazilian Steakhouse, Amici's Brick Oven Pizza, Liberty Steakhouse & Brewery and Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville, just to name a few. In fact, Legends in Concert is currently offering discounted tickets when packaged with dinner at a participating restaurant, making it more affordable for the whole family to take part in this unique spectacle.
The long-running showcase is updated and upgraded on a regular basis so repeat guests may never see the same show twice. New performers are rotated and re-introduced to the star-studded lineup fresh and new. Guests might see Dean Martin hamming it up with Sammy Davis Jr. one night, and Buddy Holly and The Crickets kicking out some classic hits on their next visit. It's all about the element of surprise, and Legends in Concert never disappoints.
Patrons also get the rare opportunity to meet and greet the performers after the show, getting photos with and autographs from the talent. Imagine posting selfies on Instagram of you posing with Elvis, The Beatles and Janis Joplin. Your Facebook friends will think you died and went to rock 'n roll heaven, and they won’t be far from the truth. You don’t have to die to enjoy this show; just make the short trip from Ocean Reef.
Legends In Concert puts on single performances on Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays, and double headers on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. Be sure to keep an eye out for special touring acts that occasionally appear at Legends in Concert.
