From humble beginnings in small college clubs, Purple Reign has risen to international acclaim and recognition as the world’s #1 Prince tribute. Jason Tenner is the legendary musician in this electrifyingly energetic award-winning show. Purple Reign captures the imagination and seamlessly re-creates the blistering performances and raw energy of Prince in his prime and returns you to the era that made “The Artist” an international superstar. This show is a must-see for Purple Rain movie fans and all live music fans alike!
On Your Feet! is a multimedia stage spectacle of the inspiring true story about heart, heritage, and two people who believed in their talent – and each other – to become an international sensation: Gloria and Emilio Estefan. Directed by two-time Tony Award® winner Jerry Mitchell (Kinky Boots), with choreography by Olivier Award winner Sergio Trujillo (Jersey Boys) and a book by Academy Award® winner Alexander Dinelaris (Birdman), On Your Feet! features some of the most iconic songs of the past quarter-century, including “Rhythm is Gonna Get You,” “Conga,” “Get On Your Feet,” “Don’t Want To Lose You Now,” “1-2-3” and “Coming Out of the Dark.” Fusing Cuban musical traditions with ‘80s and ‘90s high-energy pop rhythms, prepare to be on your feet from start to finish!
The Simon and Garfunkel Story brings an immersive critically acclaimed concert-style theatre show that chronicles the amazing journey shared by the folk-rock duo, Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel. Using state of the art video projection, incredible lighting and a full live band, The Simon and Garfunkel Story is a moving and powerful concert featuring such hits as “Mrs. Robinson,” “Bridge Over Troubled Water,” “The Sound Of Silence” and many more.
“From great comedy to amazing tribute performances, we have something for everyone,” said Cathy Price, Vice President of Marketing at Niagara Casinos. “Between the refreshing comedy of Andrew Schulz and the multimedia spectacle of the tribute performances, I am very excited for our guests to have such an abundance of choice”.
