Carpenters Legacy
The world’s only authentic Carpenters tribute, Carpenters Legacy stars Sally Olson and Ned Mills in a heartfelt, award-winning show featuring timeless hits, comedy, and multimedia.
About the show
Carpenters Legacy is the definitive show celebrating the music of the famed brother-sister duo
Carpenters Legacy stars Sally Olson as Karen Carpenter and Ned Mills as Richard Carpenter, delivering a stunning recreation of the Carpenters’ legendary live performances. The show features timeless hits including “We’ve Only Just Begun,” “Yesterday Once More,” “Superstar,” plus Karen’s iconic drum solo, Richard’s classical piano feature, and much more.
Based in the V Theater at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino, Carpenters Legacy has played to sold-out audiences in Las Vegas and performing arts centers nationwide. The production was the featured entertainment for the Carpenters’ 50th and 55th Anniversary Celebrations (2019 & 2024) at the Downey Theatre in Downey, California—the Carpenters’ hometown.
This acclaimed tribute is a seven-time Best of Las Vegas winner (including Gold for Best Impersonator) and a two-time TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice Awards recipient. Olson and Mills are the first and only Karen and Richard Carpenter tribute artists to perform with the world-renowned Las Vegas revue Legends In Concert.
On September 4, 2025, Las Vegas Mayor Shelley Berkley proclaimed September 5 as “Carpenters Legacy Day” in honor of the show and its contributions to the Entertainment Capital of the World.
Carpenters Legacy combines powerful live vocals, historical storytelling, beautiful arrangements, and nostalgic video elements, taking audiences on an unforgettable journey through the music and memories of the Carpenters—the world’s only authentic Carpenters tribute in sight and sound.
