Lady Gaga is returning to the Great American Songbook, adding eight more dates to her “Jazz & Piano” Las Vegas residency this summer.
The revived run of shows, which Gaga first debuted in 2019, will kick off on June 19 at Park MGM’s Dolby Live and conclude on July 6. Tickets will go on sale on March 23 at 10 a.m. PT, though various presales will be available on March 20 at 2 p.m. PT, including a Fan Presale, Official Platinum Presale and Citi/AAdvantage Cardmember presale. Full ticket info is available on the residency’s website.
The original “Jazz & Piano” setlist included 16 covers of American classics, like Frank Sinatra’s “New York, New York” and “Luck Be a Lady,” Dinah Washington’s “What a Diff’rence a Day Makes,” Cher’s “Bang Bang” and George and Ira Gershwin’s “Someone to Watch Over Me.” In addition to jazz standards, the residency also features renditions of Gaga’s own hits like “Poker Face” and “Born This Way.”
Gaga first revived the residency last summer following the death of Tony Bennett, with whom Gaga collaborated closely during the latter years of his life. The setlist boasts several songs that the pair recorded and performed together, such as “Cheek to Cheek” and “The Lady Is a Tramp.”
In his review of Gaga’s first residency run, Variety chief music critic Chris Willman wrote, “Of all the things you could do with a few hundred dollars of disposable income in Las Vegas right now, spending it on Gaga singing ‘Call Me Irresponsible’ is actually the most responsible.”
