Foxwoods Resort Casino salutes the United States military and announces a special holiday gift for all active duty and retired New England military families! The casino is donating thousands of tickets to
Cirque Dreams Holidaze Spectacular, and the incredibly popular Broadway production
Hairspray. In addition, one thousand tickets are being donated as a part of this promotion by the world-famous celebrity impersonation production:
Legends in Concert.
“Foxwoods Resort Casino recognizes the incredible contribution of the United States military on a local and national level and we are thrilled to have this opportunity to express our appreciation,” said Robert Victoria, Senior Vice President of Consumer Marketing. “Foxwoods continually seeks ways to support the community and we hope this holiday gift will brighten the season for the families supporting our country and fighting for our freedoms.”
In partnership with the Naval Submarine Base in Groton’s Information Ticket and Tours Office (ITT), an element of the base Morale Welfare and Recreation program, the free show tickets are available through ITT to all members, veterans and families of the Armed Forces. Tickets will be distributed on a first come, first served basis, and eligible recipients will be allowed up to four tickets per show. ITT is located in Building 164 at the base, and additional information concerning this opportunity may be addressed by contacting Ms. Norma Walters at ITT, telephone 860-694-3238.
“Family and giving are a big part of the holiday season, and I cannot thank Foxwoods enough for the gratitude and appreciation they’re showing our Armed Forces families. It’s this type of community spirit that makes New England such a great place to live and work,” said Captain Mark W. Denno, Commanding Officer of the Naval Submarine Base. “Whether yesterday, today, or tomorrow, the challenges faced by loved ones left behind as a service member is deployed remain constant, and I know that the Sailors and families at the Submarine Base, as well as the many members, veterans, and families of our Armed Forces throughout New England, will enjoy this generous opportunity!”
Show dates and times include:
CIRQUE DREAMS HOLIDAZE – 7 pm show on November 15, 16, 17, 18, 19.

LEGENDS IN CONCERT – Friday and Sunday night shows during the entire production run; starting November 27 through December 30, 2009.
CIRQUE DREAMS HOLIDAZE is an original new musical extravaganza filled with spectacle, imagination and whimsical dreams. An international cast of acrobats, aerialists, singers, dancers and musicians fill this Cirque Dream on stage, in the air and while dangling from a 24 foot tall magical tree. Add to that the pomp, cirque-umstance and amazement of gingerbread men flipping through the air, toy soldiers skillfully marching on thin wires, snowmen daringly balancing, icemen sculpting powerfully, penguins spinning, puppets caroling and reindeer soaring high above a landscape of holiday wonderment.
HAIRSPRAY is Broadway’s fantastically fun musical, winner of eight 2003 Tony Awards including Best Musical, and the inspiration for the enormously successful motion picture. And now, guests of Foxwoods will be swept away to 1960s Baltimore in this smash hit musical, piled bouffant-high with laughter and romance – and enough deliriously tuneful songs to fill a nonstop platter party. It’s HAIRSPRAY, live on stage in living color!
LEGENDS IN CONCERT – the famed tribute show has a spectacular holiday celebration, with specially-produced musical arrangements, sparkling costumes and a multimedia presentation. Special guests will drop in to join the most renowned tribute acts in show business representing the likes of Frank Sinatra, Liza Minnelli, The Temptations, Sammy Davis, Jr. and Elvis Presley. Backed by a world-class band and the Legends singers and dancers, each entertainer will add a seasonal song to their repertoire, along with the artists’ most popular hits.
