Katy Perry concert chronology

Play was the first concert residency hosted by American singer Katy Perry. The first eight concerts were announced in May 2021, which ran at Resorts World Theatre from December 29, 2021, to January 15, 2022.[1] Eight more shows were added later that month in response to popular demand, extending the residency to March 2022.[2] Ticket sales became widely available to purchase on May 24 after a pre-sale for those with Citibank cards.[3] Perry announced in January 2022 that she had added 16 more shows for May through August.[4] On June 1, 2022, she announced that a further eight shows were added for October due to increasing demand.

Perry opened Play to a sold-out crowd at Resorts World Theatre, with the furthest seat being only 150 feet away from the stage.[5] In February 2022, the first set of boxscores were reported by Billboard. She earned $6.98 million from the eight reported dates and drew a total of 32,000 attendees in the timeframe.[6] From these earnings, she reached the top spot on the Artist Power Index (APX) chart by Pollstar.[7] On April 10, 2023, Perry announced that the final show of the residency would take place on November 4, 2023.[8] According to Billboard, the residency grossed $46.4 million, becoming the 8th highest grossing female residency in the history of Las Vegas and 18th overall.[9]

Background

The show draws influence from Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, Pee-wee's Playhouse, and Pee-wee's Big Adventure. Perry also stated, "It's just gonna be a feast for both the ears and the eyes and it is like the most laughter I've had in a rehearsal setting ever in my life. My co-creators and collaborators and the dancers and the band, everybody's just like, 'This is the kookiest idea.'"[10]

Production

Perry performing "Teenage Dream"

Several parts of the show have been described by media outlets such as Vogue as "camp", such as Perry descending from the ceiling and being placed on a gigantic bed, interacting with a giant toilet and a giant face mask while performing, and a huge red rocking horse. Christian Allaire of Vogue called her the "Queen of Camp" for her approach to the show, saying: "Perry's playful, tongue-in-cheek approach to dressing really makes the show for us. More than a decade into her impressive career, she's clearly still a reigning queen of camp."[11][12]

Critical response

Perry performing "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)"

Play received universal critical acclaim.[13] Mark Gray from Rolling Stone said that "the production was larger than life" for the residency's opening night, further adding: "the show is quintessential Perry, who indulged the emotional, the over-the-top, the whimsical, the psychedelic, and even the cheesy over the course of 95 minutes".[14] Melinda Sheckells of Billboard also gave the first show a positive review, stating that Perry "left another unforgettable mark on the Strip in front of a sold-out, all-ages crowd of 5,000 loudly purring KatyCats", further adding: "'Perry Playland' transports the audience into another dimension of rainbow fluff, heart-shaped confetti and larger-than-life anthropomorphic household objects—it's part fantasy, part hallucination and thoroughly high-camp Perry."[5] Yahoo! contributor Joyann Jeffrey felt Perry "perfectly wrapped up 2021 in a nutshell when she toasted a giant face mask onstage, and sang on top of some giant toilet paper rolls, which sat beside a huge bathtub and toilet" with Play and wrote the outfits used were "equally as amazing".[11]
