Las Vegas entertainment fans have a new reason to celebrate. R&B icons Brandy Norwood and Monica Betancourt are joining forces for their first‑ever Las Vegas Strip residency, a ten‑date concert series titled “The Boy Is Mine Residency.” The shows will take place at Resorts World Las Vegas during the spring and summer of next year.
Dates and venue
The residency will run over three months, with performances scheduled for May 29‑30, June 2, 4‑5, and July 9, 10, 14, 16‑17. All ten concerts will be staged at the state‑of‑the‑art theater inside Resorts World, a venue that has quickly become a hub for high‑profile music events on the Strip.
Production and partnership
The Black Promoters Collective (BPC) and AEG Presents Las Vegas are co‑producing the residency. Shelby Joyner, president of BPC, said the partnership grew out of the success of the recent “The Boy Is Mine” tour, noting, “Fans loved seeing us share a stage, and we’re excited to bring that energy to Las Vegas. This is BPC’s first residency, and it’s a big moment for us as we continue betting on artists we believe in.”
What fans can expect
Audiences will enjoy a blend of Brandy’s and Monica’s biggest hits—ranging from Brandy’s “I Don’t Want to Know” and “Full Moon” to Monica’s “Angel of Mine” and “The First Time.” The production will also feature new arrangements and visual storytelling that highlight the duo’s decades‑long friendship and musical chemistry.
In addition to the shared catalog, each artist will showcase selections from their solo careers, giving longtime fans and newcomers alike a comprehensive look at their contributions to R&B history.
Ticket information
General‑public tickets go on sale Friday, November 20, through AXS.com. Pricing tiers range from standard seats to premium packages that include meet‑and‑greet opportunities and exclusive merchandise.
Local impact
The residency is expected to draw visitors from across the Southwest, boosting tourism revenue for Las Vegas businesses, from hotels and restaurants to local transportation services. Industry analysts note that high‑profile music residencies have become a key driver of economic activity on the Strip, supporting jobs and reinforcing the city’s reputation as an entertainment capital.
City officials have welcomed the announcement, emphasizing the partnership between local promoters and major venues as a model for future cultural events that benefit both residents and visitors.
About the artists
Brandy, a Grammy‑winning vocalist known for her distinctive vocal layering and acting work, first rose to fame in the mid‑1990s with hits like “The Boy Is Mine” (a duet with Monica) and the chart‑topping album Never Say Never. Monica, also a Grammy‑winner, broke through with singles such as “Angel of Mine” and the platinum‑selling album The Boy Is Mine. Their collaborative tour in 2023 reignited public interest in their partnership, leading to the current residency deal.
Fans can look forward to a night of nostalgia, vocal prowess, and modern production values that celebrate two of R&B’s most enduring voices.
