Danny Wimmer Presents | Talent Services is proud to announce an exciting new partnership with Foxwoods Resort Casino, one of the most prestigious gaming and entertainment destinations in North America. This collaboration marks a significant milestone for both organizations, promising a fresh era of high-caliber entertainment at Foxwoods’ renowned 4,000-seat Premier Theater.
As highlighted in a recent article by Pollstar, this partnership aligns DWP Talent Services with Foxwoods to curate an exceptional lineup of performances, further solidifying Foxwoods’ reputation as a premier East Coast entertainment hub.
A Commitment to Excellence in Casino Entertainment
Christian Printup, Vice President of Entertainment at Foxwoods Resort Casino and a veteran in casino entertainment, emphasized the importance of working with partners who understand the unique needs of the casino ecosystem.
“I’ve worked with other buyers, and no one in my career has come close to the level of service and understanding that DWP provides,” Printup shared with Pollstar. “They understand the nuances of casino entertainment and tailor their approach to suit our audience.”
This partnership continues DWP Talent Services’ expansion into the casino entertainment space, which already includes notable collaborations with properties like Agua Caliente in Southern California and Thunder Valley Casino Resort near Sacramento.
A Storied Legacy: Foxwoods Resort Casino
Since its opening in 1992, Foxwoods Resort Casino, owned and operated by the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation, has been a beacon of entertainment excellence. As the largest resort casino in North America, Foxwoods offers an unmatched experience with seven casinos, AAA Four-Diamond hotels, gourmet dining, luxury spas, and world-class theaters.
Foxwoods has hosted some of the greatest names in entertainment, including legends like Frank Sinatra, whose 1993 performances inaugurated their iconic venue. With this partnership, DWP Talent Services will work to continue this legacy by introducing new and diverse talent to the Premier Theater.
Customizing Entertainment Strategies
At the heart of DWP’s philosophy is a customized approach to booking, ensuring each venue and audience receives a tailored experience.
Del Williams, Head of Talent at DWP Talent Services, explained:
“Every property is unique, and our strategy is anything but cookie-cutter. We work closely with our clients to understand their specific goals and craft an entertainment lineup that elevates their brand.”
Joe Moallempour, Senior National Casino Talent Buyer at DWP, echoed this sentiment, adding:
“Our team is dedicated to delivering exceptional results for each property. With Foxwoods, we see an incredible opportunity to raise the bar for casino entertainment.”
Looking Ahead: What This Partnership Means for Foxwoods and DWP
This partnership promises a new era of iconic performances at Foxwoods. Recent bookings include an April 5 show by Sessanta, featuring members of Puscifer, A Perfect Circle, and Primus, as well as a highly anticipated performance by Miranda Lambert.
Foxwoods’ vision to remain a top-tier entertainment destination aligns perfectly with DWP’s commitment to excellence. By combining Foxwoods’ state-of-the-art facilities and rich history with DWP’s expertise in talent booking and event production, guests can expect unforgettable experiences.
A Shared Vision for the Future

“Foxwoods is not just another venue; it’s an iconic destination with a reputation for excellence. We’re honored to collaborate with Christian and his team to take Foxwoods’ entertainment offerings to the next level.”
As Foxwoods celebrates its 32nd anniversary with major renovations and new amenities, including The Fox Tower hotel and Grace by Nia supper club, this partnership comes at a pivotal moment.
