Play (concert residency)

Play was the first concert residency by American singer-songwriter Katy Perry. It was performed at the Resort World Los Vegas in Las Vegas, Navada. The residency started on December 29, 2021 and ended on November 4, 2023.

 Background 
The show takes inspiration from Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, Pee-wee’s Playhouse, and Pee-wee’s Big Adventure. Perry described it as “a feast for both the ears and the eyes,” adding that rehearsals were the most fun she had ever experienced, with her team calling the concept “the kookiest idea.”

 Production 
Several parts of the show have been described by media outlets such as Vogue as "camp", such as Perry descending from the ceiling and being placed on a gigantic bed, interacting with a giant toilet and a giant face mask while performing, and a huge red rocking horse. Christian Allaire of Vogue called her the "Queen of Camp" for her approach to the show, saying: "Perry's playful, tongue-in-cheek approach to dressing really makes the show for us. More than a decade into her impressive career, she's clearly still a reigning queen of camp."

Perry revealed the set list on December 28, 2021, a day before the first show was scheduled to start.
