The cast features crowned winner of Jimmy Fallon’s Clash of the Cover Bands, Karen Hester as the beloved Dolly Parton working “9 to 5”; Whitney Houston portrayed by Jazmine with a mesmerizing tribute to the voice of a generation with the vocal prowess and passion that is the “Greatest Love of All”; with her distinctive contralto singing voice, Cher, performed by Annika Starander Weaver, “turned back time” and made fans “Believe” in the music of this timeless diva all over again; Lady Gaga was celebrated by Tierney Allen embodying all that is Mother Monster to show she was “Born This Way.”
The Divas captivated the packed house with their live vocals and stunning performances. Taking this show to the highest “Diva Level” is Las Vegas’ most famous Diva, Frank Marino, who returned as Celebrity Host with his portrayal of Joan Rivers, the pioneer of women in comedy.
The sold-out audience sang and danced along to celebrate this four-decade milestone.

Their 40-year run has simultaneously coincided with my 39-year run as Las Vegas’s Longest Running Headliner proving that the art of celebrity impersonation is still alive and well in Sin City. Working alongside all the talented tribute artists, live band, producers, directors, crew, and management staff of Legends is always a real treat to return to the Orleans Showroom Stage where I filmed my reality show Last Laugh in Vegas is just the cherry on top,” said Frank Marino.
