Lady Gaga Is Getting Her Own Las Vegas Residency
Get ready, Little Monsters: Your queen Lady Gaga just announced she landed a two-year performance residency in Las Vegas. After nine years of selling out stadiums around the world, Mother Monster is headed to the showbiz capital of the world.
“It’s the land of Elvis, Tony Bennett and Frank Sinatra, the Rat Pack, Elton John, Judy Garland and Liza Minnelli. It has been a life-long dream of mine to play Las Vegas. I am humbled to be a part of a historical line-up of performers, and to have the honor of creating a new show unlike anything Vegas has ever seen before,” Gaga said in a press release distributed by MGM Resorts International, which is where Gaga will be completing her residency—specifically at the Park Theatre inside the Park MGM.
The residency will kick off in December 2018. There’s no word yet on when tickets will go on sale or the price point. Gaga is one of the most dynamic living entertainers, though, so seeing her live is definitely worth the price—whatever that is.
Gaga is joining a slew of contemporary pop stars with Vegas residencies. Britney Spears’ Piece of Me set at Planet Hollywood is one of the Strip’s most popular shows. Jennifer Lopez’s All I Have residency is at Planet Hollywood, too, and is set to conclude in September 2018. Both Spears and Lopez’s shows have redefined Vegas entertainment: It was once seen as embarrassing or career-ending to book a residency there. Now, it’s just another lucrative way for musicians to cash in.
“The rumors are true! I will have my own residency at MGM’s Park Theater. Get ready for a brand new show!! It’s been my lifelong dream to be a Las Vegas girl, I’m so overjoyed! LOVE YOU LITTLE MONSTERS WE DID IT, MEET ME IN Las Vegas!! #LasVegasGoesGaga,” Gaga tweeted on Tuesday, confirming the news. (She posted something similar on Instagram as well.)
“I’ll tell you exactly what I told my MGM and Park Theater partners – you can count on this performer always for one thing…I’ll leave my heart on the stage every single night,” Gaga also said in the release.
Alright, I’m sold. Who’s flying out to Vegas with me?
