Nearly three decades after “The Boy Is Mine” spent 13 consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, Brandy and Monica are taking the duet that once cast them as rivals to the Las Vegas Strip. The R&B icons announced The Boy Is Mine Vegas Residency, their first ever, after performing the song on the GRAMMY-themed episode of ABC’s Dancing with the Stars on Nov. 10. The residency opens May 29, 2027 with 10 performances at the Resorts World Theatre at Resorts World Las Vegas.
The show is co-produced by the Black Promoters Collective and AEG Presents Las Vegas, and it is the first residency in BPC’s history. Founded in 2022, BPC is a 100% Black-owned coalition of six independent concert promotion and event production companies, and it is the only wholly Black-owned live music company on Pollstar’s Global Top 100 Promoters list, where it ranks No. 39. “Bringing The Boy Is Mine to Las Vegas as Black Promoters Collective’s first residency is a big moment for us,” said BPC President Shelby Joyner. “We’ve built BPC by betting on artists we believe in and listening to their fans.”
The residency builds on The Boy Is Mine Tour, the pair’s sold-out 2025 arena run, which earned a nomination for R&B Tour of the Year at the 2026 Pollstar Awards. This summer they reunited as co-headliners at the 2026 ESSENCE Festival of Culture in New Orleans, and the next day ESSENCE honored Brandy with its Legend Award and Monica with its Luminary Award at the Black Women in Music luncheon. Bobby Reynolds, senior vice president of AEG Presents Las Vegas, said the company looks forward “to welcoming powerhouse artists Brandy and Monica to Resorts World Theatre to kick off an unforgettable Memorial Day Weekend.”
The newly renovated 4,850-seat theatre will host the run from May 29 through July 17. An American Express presale opens Monday, Nov. 16 at 10 a.m. PT, followed by an artist presale on Wednesday, Nov. 18 and local presales on Thursday, Nov. 19. General tickets go on sale Friday, Nov. 20 at 10 a.m. PT at AXS, putting two women who first topped the charts together in 1998 on a Strip marquee with a Black-owned company behind the production.
