There’s no question that
pop princess Britney Spears changed the pop-music dynamic on the Strip with her “Britney: Piece of Me” resident show at Axis at Planet Hollywood.
It’s been a blockbuster success since its Dec. 27, 2013, premiere. Fans have flocked to the show, and before its second anniversary, Britney extended her contract two years through 2017.
Her residency single-handedly triggered additional pop shows, with Jennifer Lopez and the upcoming Lionel Richie at Axis, along with Mariah Carey at Caesars Palace and Rascal Flatts at the Hard Rock hotel.
Are you excited for the new look to “Piece of Me”? Tell me what we should expect.
Definitely excited! I’ve added a few fan-favorite songs into the show, changed up the intro and had fabulous new costumes designed for each act. I also put together an amazing dance break to three of my favorite Missy Elliot songs. And we have lasers now. I love the look of the lasers.
Are you happy with the decision to cut back a little on touring and stay in a resident Las Vegas show?
Definitely! I love doing my show in one place, plus it’s been great because I can have my boys out with me a lot of the time. But, sometimes I do get that itch to travel and tour again. It’s in my blood.
Fans tell me they are going crazy wanting a new record. What’s the status?
You’ll be hearing something new from me soon … very soon.
During upcoming breaks from the Las Vegas show, will you be able to plug in any overseas tour dates? If not, will you be able to tour again after this new two-year Las Vegas deal ends, or do you want to stay on in Las Vegas because you’re loving it here?
I hope we can do some touring! It’ll be fun to see my fans from overseas who haven’t been able to make it out to Las Vegas.
