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.
