Janet Jackson is bringing a new musical experience to her fans in Las Vegas. The Metamorphosis show kicks off on May 17 at Park Theater at Park MGM resort.
According to the announcement, “’Metamorphosis’ peels back the layers of the immensely private life of Janet Jackson, sharing her transformation from a young girl with issues of self-esteem to global Icon. The centerpiece of this all-new thought-provoking show, will be Janet herself, captivating you through your senses with electrifying visuals, explosive dance numbers, chart-topping hits and fan favorite deep cuts. Fans will follow her path to self-love, empowerment, motherhood and activism, amidst the challenges faced along her personal journey. She encourages her audiences to find their own light within themselves through her ‘Metamorphosis.’”
As the singer wrote on Instagram, it also marks the 30th anniversary of Rhythm Nation. Tickets for the new show, starting at $79, go on sale March 2. View all 15 dates below.
The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame honoree is planning the release of new music. Her collaboration with Daddy Yankee, "Made For Now" dropped in August 2018 and a new album is expected this year. Jackson, who already has 11 LPs under her belt, is a force of nature with a kind soul. Despite her immense success and enigmatic persona, the star has started to reveal her own set of personal challenges which will likely be shared through her Metamorphosis show.
“Tonight I feel moved to speak for women whose voices have been stifled,” she said during her Global Icon award acceptance speech at the MTV European Music Awards. “I am one of those women. Women who have been gagged, both literally and emotionally. Women who have been abused. Women who have been intimidated. Women who have lived in fear. I stand with you. You are my sisters.” The singer continued, “Tonight, I carry the hope that a new world is emerging. A world in which caring people, male as well as female, will no longer tolerate gender inequality. Women, our voices will be heard.”
The initial 15 dates going on sale are:
