Backed by a 30-piece big band, the stripped-down show has featured Gaga’s renditions of Great American Songbook classics such as Luck Be a Lady by Frank Sinatra and The Lady is a Tramp, alongside jazzed-up versions of her own hits, including Poker Face and Paparazzi.?

When Gaga opened at Park MGM on New Year’s Eve weekend in 2018, she alternated “Jazz + Pop” with her full-on “Enigma” pop show. However, there’s no indication that “Enigma” will return.

The last “Enigma” show Gaga performed was on Dec. 30, 2019. After that, her concerts at Park MGM from 2021 through 2023 were all “Jazz & Piano” shows. She last performed it on Oct. 5, 2023.

Bruno Adds 12

Bruno Mars?has added a dozen summer dates to his residency, also at Dolby Live at Park MGM.

The dates are June 7, 8, 12, 14, and 15; August 20, 23, 24, 27, 28, and 31; and September 1. Tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday, February 23 at 10 a.m. PT via Ticketmaster.com.
