The party of the year is officially underway.
Katy Perry’s ongoing Las Vegas residency “Play” picked back up for the first time since last year on Friday, Feb. 17 at Resorts World Theatre and based on what we’ve seen on Instagram, the five-part show complete with an encore seems to be as theatrical, kitschy, camp, cartoonish and glitzy as ever.
Plus, it looks like the infamous Left Shark made infamous by Perry’s 2015 Super Bowl halftime show performance makes an appearance too.
Surprisingly though, you won’t need to be a high roller to get in the door to this visually spectacular concert.
At the time of publication, we found tickets going for as low as $62 before fees on Vivid Seats.
Not a bad price considering you’ll get to hear hits like “I Kissed A Girl,” “California Gurls,” “Hot N Cold,” “Firework” and “Dark Horse” which has been streamed over a billion times on Spotify.
That’s not to mention “Teenage Dream,” “Roar” and “Swish Swish.”
And we’re still just getting started.
Want to “Play?” Here’s everything you need to know about Perry’s Las Vegas residency at Resorts World Theatre.
