Las Vegas—The Jabbawockeez, renowned for their electrifying dance performances, have announced the extension of their residency at MGM Grand through 2025. The group captivates audiences with their innovative show “Timeless,” a 90-minute multimedia experience that blends precise choreography with cutting-edge technology, including projection mapping and LED walls.
Since their debut at MGM Grand in 2010, the Jabbawockeez have performed over 2,000 shows in Las Vegas. The group, recognized for their signature white masks and gloves, was originally founded in 2003 by Kevin Brewer and Joe Larot. They gained widespread recognition after winning MTV’s “America’s Best Dance Crew” in 2008. The unique masks not only unify the performers but also allow every member of the crew to be perceived as a lead dancer, creating a distinct connection with the audience.
The “Timeless” show has adapted to the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Initially performing for reduced audiences, the troupe has since transitioned to the Grand Garden Arena where they now accommodate approximately 500 spectators per show. Currently, performances occur nightly at 7 p.m. and 9:30 p.m., and the show features a carefully curated soundtrack that spans various music genres, coupled with striking visuals.
The Jabbawockeez have established themselves as a significant force in the entertainment industry, with influences extending beyond dance. They have collaborated with top artists, including Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars, Steve Aoki, and Marshmello, showcasing their versatility and appeal across various audiences. Their artistic approach includes video game appearances and fashion collaborations, inspiring a generation of masked performers in entertainment.
“Timeless” has been particularly noteworthy for its emphasis on audience connection. The format allows viewers to project themselves into the experience of the performers while highlighting the skilled choreography and innovative visual elements. Throughout the pandemic restrictions, the show was innovative in maintaining audience engagement, initially performing for just 250 fans.
The Jabbawockeez are also set to launch their first NFT-enabled live performance, providing an exciting avenue for fans of modern digital collectibles. A limited number of NFT tickets will be made available, granting holders exclusive perks such as premium seating, meet-and-greet opportunities, and digital collectables. This move reflects the group’s commitment to evolving alongside the changing entertainment landscape, ensuring that they maintain relevance and engagement with fans.
As the Jabbawockeez expand their performance model, they continue to achieve significant milestones within the industry, showcasing resilience and adaptability in the face of challenges. With their extended residency at MGM Grand and the innovative presentation of “Timeless,” the group cements its legacy as a cornerstone of theatrical dance entertainment in Las Vegas.
