Mashantucket, CT (March 11, 2024) – Foxwoods Resort Casino, one of the world’s largest and most recognized resort casinos, celebrates an exciting new partnership with leading music promotion company, Danny Wimmer Presents (DWP). Working under the direction of Christian Printup, VP of Entertainment at Foxwoods, DWPTS will work on Foxwoods’ behalf to bring world-class entertainers to the Premier Theater.
“The team at DWP is second to none when it comes to understanding the nuances of booking entertainment for casinos, and we are very excited to work with this dedicated team,” said Christian Printup, VP of Entertainment at Foxwoods. “Foxwoods Resort Casino has provided guests with world-class entertainment for over 30 years, and I look forward to working with the DWP team to not only continue that tradition but to take things to the next level.”
