Pop icon Lady Gaga brings the Great American Songbook back to the Las Vegas Strip

Lady Gaga’s career has been characterized by blossoming and becoming, from her embryonic electro-pop and neo-burlesque phases to acting roles and her current course as the queen of cabaret singing. Her evolution led to the upper echelon of Las Vegas resident headliners when she became the first performer to launch two residencies at Park MGM beginning in 2018, but lately her heart seems to be more aligned with her tribute to the Great American Songbook, Lady Gaga: Jazz & Piano.

A lot of that no doubt has to do with the late Tony Bennett, with whom Gaga recorded two albums, and who once joined Gaga onstage to sing several songs from their 2014 duets album, Cheek to Cheek. His spirit lives on in the show, where the selection of standards from the Great American Songbook are delivered with an energy that feels limitless.

Of course, this being an intimate show, Gaga will undoubtedly change the lineup from night to night. So while you will undoubtedly hear classics like “Luck Be a Lady Tonight” and “Anything Goes,” you might also hear a solo-piano rendition of “Poker Face.”

Gaga, who has a Haus of Gaga store at host property Park MGM, seems now very much a part of Las Vegas—and has only just begun.

Park MGM, 8 p.m. June 19-20, starting at $170 plus tax and fee. ticketmaster.com
