Toni Braxton concert chronology

Toni Braxton: Revealed was the first concert residency by American singer Toni Braxton. It was performed at The Showroom at the Flamingo Las Vegas until the announcement of its cancellation on April 6, 2008.[1]

Background and development

On May 19, 2006, the Flamingo Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas announced that Braxton would replace Wayne Newton as the casino's new headlining act from December 3, 2006.[2] The show, entitled Toni Braxton: Revealed, was to be performed six nights a week and was scheduled to run through to March 2007. Braxton later confirmed that she was extending her show through to August 2007. Due to its success, it was reported that Braxton would extend her show through to August 2010. The show was later cancelled in order for Braxton to focus on her health.[3] The production featured nine dancers with intricate choreography, along with a specially designed set with a 9' x 16' LED screen and elaborate costumes designed by Dolce & Gabbana.[4][5]

Reception

Mike Weatherford of the Las Vegas Review-Journal gave the show a mixed review, complaining about "the anticlimactic treatment of her best-known songs. They just don’t have the resonance they should." But he favorably compared the show to Celine Dion's Las Vegas engagement, saying, "Amid all the hoopla surrounding Celine Dion’s final shows last weekend, Las Vegas’ other working pop-star mom forged on with 'Revealed,' a revue that runs on a fraction of the budget of 'A New Day ...' but likewise has become a smoother, more graceful showcase over time."[6]
