Brandy and Monica Take 'The Boy Is Mine' to Las Vegas: 10 Shows at Resorts World Starting May 29, 2027
The R&B rivals-turned-partners revealed their first-ever Las Vegas residency live on Dancing With the Stars, 28 years after the song that made them a pair. Ten nights, one theater, presales this week. Are you going?
The boy is still theirs. Now so is the Strip.
Brandy and Monica have announced The Boy Is Mine Vegas Residency, their first-ever run of Las Vegas shows, right after singing their 1998 duet on ABC's Dancing With the Stars on Tuesday night, Variety and Today reported.
It is 10 shows at the Resorts World Theatre at Resorts World Las Vegas, running May 29 to July 17, 2027, according to Rolling Stone and Variety.
Why Vegas, why now
Monica told Billboard that watching Gladys Knight perform in Las Vegas was "probably the first time that I said to myself, 'I could totally see myself being in Vegas eventually.'"
Rolling Stone put the pair's mood in its headline: "This is where we belong."
From rivals to a residency
"The Boy Is Mine" spent 13 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1998 and won the duo a Grammy. For years the story was the feud. Then came the turnaround: Ariana Grande pulled both of them into her 2024 remix of her own "The boy is mine," and in 2025 they finally toured together.
That tour, announced on CBS Mornings in June 2025 and opening in Cincinnati that October, carried Kelly Rowland, Coco Jones, Muni Long and Jamal Roberts as support. Its promoter, the Black Promoters Collective, expected the run to push the company past $100 million in revenue, Black Enterprise reported.
Tickets: check the dates twice
Billboard reports an American Express presale starting Wednesday at 10 a.m. PT and a general on-sale Friday at 10 a.m. PT. Today lists November 20 for the general sale. The outlets disagree, so check the official Resorts World ticket page before you plan around either date.
Why it matters
Las Vegas has become the steadiest paycheck in live music for artists with deep catalogs, and this theater has already housed residencies by Katy Perry and Carrie Underwood. Ten nights is a test run. If they sell out fast, expect more dates.
Opening night is May 29, 2027. Which song do you need to hear live?
