What if you could experience The Carpenters live in concert again?

Direct from Las Vegas, CARPENTERS LEGACY brings the unmistakable sound, look and feel of Karen and Richard Carpenter’s legendary 1970s concerts back to the stage in a stunningly authentic live recreation.

Starring Sally Olson as Karen Carpenter and Ned Mills as Richard Carpenter, the show features beloved classics including “We’ve Only Just Begun,” “Yesterday Once More,” “Superstar,” “Close to You,” and many more—along with Karen’s famous drum solo and Richard’s dazzling classical piano feature.

This is more than a concert of Carpenters songs. It is a chance to experience the music as audiences did in the 1970s—from the vocals and arrangements to the costumes, staging and unmistakable chemistry of one of the most beloved musical duos of all time.

“It’s Karen all over again.”
— Michael Lansing, The Carpenters’ Audio Engineer, Assistant Tour Manager & Karen Carpenter’s Personal Assistant

“Vocally spot-on.”
— Las Vegas Review-Journal

Carpenters Legacy maintains a residency at the V Theater at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas and has played to sold-out audiences at theaters, performing arts centers and casinos across the country.

The production was selected as featured entertainment for both the Carpenters 50th and 55th Anniversary Celebrations, is a seven-time Best of Las Vegas winner and a two-time TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice Award recipient. In 2025, Las Vegas Mayor Shelley Berkley proclaimed September 5 “Carpenters Legacy Day.”

For anyone who loved The Carpenters—or wishes they could have seen them live—this is the next best thing to being there.

In the early years of his young adult life C S Lewis believed the story of Christ’s birth was nothing more than feel-good myth. That all changed after a particular encounter with his great friend and fellow author, J R R Tolkien. Although both men loved mythology in general, Tolkien was convinced that the Jesus myth was the one true myth. That was the start of Lewis’ journey from Atheism to Christianity. From that point on Christmas, for Lewis, took on an entirely different meaning. 

Here we find him at his home near Oxford on Christmas Eve hosting a group of Americans who are Christmassing in England. They are about to experience an unforgettable assortment of Yuletide recollections which stimulates a whole range of emotions – curiosity, laughter, gladness and even some tears. Above all, they will discover how that encounter with Tolkien forever changed his Christmas celebrations.

"CONNECTED" was formed during the lockdown. Bassist Richie Goods and vibraphonist Chien Chien Lu had frequent conversations about the Black Lives Matter movement and unwarranted hate crimes against Asians. They decided to undertake a project that would unify people and evoke imagery of love and peace. Not only was the music they produced impressive, but their friendship also deepened as they explored the stereotypical discord that often exists between the African American and Asian communities. Richie Goods and Chien Chien met in 2019 during a European tour. Shortly after, Richie produced Chien Chien's debut album, "The Path." As their collaboration continued to flourish, a new endeavor emerged: "Connected," a project that embodied the profound musical connection between them.

Chien Chien’s foundation in classical training provided a rich and textured canvas upon which their collaborative work thrived. Her intricate knowledge of classical nuances intertwined seamlessly with Richie Goods' background rooted in the realms of R&B and Funk, creating an enchanting juxtaposition of genres that breathed life into their compositions.
