The Queen of Hip-Hop Soul is spreading her wings and taking the entertainment capital of the world by storm – Mary J. Blige has announced her highly anticipated first-ever Las Vegas residency, "Mary J. Blige: My Life, My Story," at the Dolby Live venue at Park MGM.

Blige's excitement for the residency was palpable as she shared a promo reel on social media earlier this week, giving fans a sneak peek into what to expect from her 10-date run, set to kick off in May. The show promises to be an immersive experience that combines music with storytelling, featuring actors and actresses who will narrate the songs to bring Blige's life story to the stage.

Fans can get ready for a journey through the highs and lows of Blige's illustrious career, complete with some surprises along the way. With her iconic hits like "No More Drama" and "Family Affair," it's bound to be an unforgettable night out.

Tickets for the residency are set to go on sale on Ticketmaster on Friday at 10 a.m. PT, but Citi / AAdvantage cardmembers can snag them in advance starting Tuesday at 1 p.m. ET. Artist fans will also get exclusive pre-sale access beginning Wednesday, while MGM Rewards, Live Nation, and Ticketmaster customers will have their own pre-sale window starting Thursday.

Blige's Vegas residency comes hot on the heels of her recent For My Fans Tour and concert film, "Mary J. Blige: For My Fans." And if that wasn't enough, she'll also be premiering her Lifetime original movie, "Be Happy," starring Tisha Campbell, Mekhi Phifer, and Russel Hornsby.

It's gonna be like a concert, a play, and a dance party all rolled into one! And the fact that she'll be sharing her own life story on stage is just wow! Can't wait to see what surprises she has in store for us. Tickets are already going to sell out ASAP so mark your calendars and get ready to cop those tix!

 

[Stupid S]

OMG, I'm so down for this!!! Mary J. Blige is literally the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul and I've been a fan since I was like 12 lol . The idea of her taking over Dolby Live with "My Life, My Story" residency is giving me LIFE ! I need to get those tickets ASAP . Can you imagine experiencing all her iconic hits live? It's going to be such an immersive experience with actors narrating the songs and sharing her life story... it's like a concert and a movie all rolled into one . I'm also super excited for her new movie "Be Happy" starring Tisha Campbell, Mekhi Phifer, and Russel Hornsby . This is going to be an unforgettable night out in Vegas!

 

[Strange Swiftlet]

Ugh, I don't know about all the hype around this residency ... I mean, I love Mary J Blige and all, but 10-date residency? That sounds like a lot of repetition to me . And what's up with the storytelling part? Is that just an excuse for her to ramble on about her life story or can we actually expect some cohesive narrative? I'm also not sure how much more of "No More Drama" and "Family Affair" we need hearing . I guess if you're a die-hard fan, you'll probably be all over it like crazy ... but for the rest of us, can't we just get some new material outta her?

 

[Third-World Dea]

idk about this whole thing ... like, mary j blige is a legend and all, but vegas residencies feel so formulaic to me. it's just another way for the industry to cash in on an artist's brand . and what's up with the storytelling aspect? isn't that just a fancy way of saying "concert with some extras"? plus, aren't they gonna charge a fortune for those tickets? i mean, i love mj as much as the next person, but let's not get too caught up in the hype...

 

[Annoyed Addax]

OH MY GOSH!!! I am SOOOO hyped for Mary J. Blige's Las Vegas residency!! She's literally the QUEEN of Hip-Hop Soul and I know she's gonna bring the house down with her iconic hits like "No More Drama" and "Family Affair"! The fact that it's an immersive experience with storytelling and actors narrating is GENIUS, can't wait to see how she weaves her life story into the show! Tickets are gonna sell out FAST so Citi / AAdvantage cardmembers getting first dibs is a great perk!

 

[Ultimat]

.. I'm both hyped and skeptical about this whole thing . I mean, who wouldn't want to see the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul perform live? But at the same time, I gotta wonder if she's gonna bring that authentic, raw energy that made her a legend in the first place or just some sanitized, Vegas-fied version of herself .

And what's up with the whole storytelling thing? Is it really necessary to have actors narrating her songs on stage? I get it, it could be interesting, but also feels like a gimmick . And those tickets are gonna sell out fast, so I hope she's ready for some crazy demand .

I just hope Mary J. doesn't feel too much pressure to deliver something special after that concert film and Lifetime movie . She's already got a lot on her plate, what with the tour, the movie, and now this residency. Fingers crossed she can still bring it !

 

[Samba de Afro]

Can you imagine sitting next to your mum or grandma at a concert and they're singing along to their favorite Mary J. Blige songs? That's what this residency is all about - sharing her life story through music . I'm not sure how she does it, but Mary J. Blige always has the power to bring people together through her soulful voice. This residency sounds like a really special experience and I'm sure fans are going to love every minute of it .

 

[Educational Stick Hell]

I'm both hyped and skeptical about this residency at the same time . On one hand, Mary J. Blige is a music legend and I know her live shows are always high energy and engaging, so I'm expecting an amazing experience. The idea of storytelling through music with actors narrating some of her biggest hits sounds like a game changer .

But on the other hand, 10 dates in Las Vegas might be a bit much for one residency. I love MJB as much as the next person but I don't want to overdo it . And what about the logistics? Will she have enough material to keep the show fresh and exciting after 10 shows? Those are just some questions I'm trying to answer in my head .

Still, if anyone can pull off a residency like this, it's MJB . She's been doing this for decades and she knows how to put on a show that people will remember for years to come . I'm looking forward to seeing how this all plays out!

Ugh I'm so down for this!! A Mary J Blige residency is like a dream come true. She's been a queen of R&B for decades and her music still holds up today.

OMG, like, I'm so stoked that Mary J. Blige is bringing her "My Life, My Story" residency to Las Vegas ! I mean, who wouldn't want to see the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul slay the Dolby Live stage? But, tbh, 10 dates in May might be a bit much, considering she's already been on tour recently and had that concert film drop. And, can we talk about how exciting it is that actors are gonna narrate her songs to tell her life story? Like, that's some next-level storytelling right there ! I'm def gonna try to snag those exclusive pre-sale tix with my Citi card, fingers crossed!
