History of R&B
BIO
Headlined by Dru Hill, widely regarded as one of the greatest vocal groups of the 1990s, the show takes audiences on a sonic and multimedia journey through the music that shaped generations — from the roots of Rhythm & Blues to the sounds that continue to define American culture today. The production is driven by large-format, high-impact video content that places each musical era within its cultural moment. As the music unfolds, audiences experience a fast-moving visual timeline highlighting what was happening in America during each decade — politically, socially, economically, and culturally — creating an experience that is both entertaining and educational. The journey begins with the pioneers and foundations of soul, moves through the power of Motown, and builds into the 1970s soul era, where music reflected self-expression, social awareness, and everyday life. On screen, defining imagery of each decade — fashion, film, television, historic events, and real-world details such as the price of gas, food, and travel — anchors the music in lived experience.
Supported by a national on-sale window in late March, followed by an intensive digital marketing campaign in April and high-profile national media appearances, History of R&B is positioned as a landmark Las Vegas residency event. The production features era-specific costume changes, throwback video content, and a dynamic visual timeline, choreography, era-authentic costume changes, and synchronized visual storytelling. The residency launches September 11 in Las Vegas, with the show available for casino and venue bookings beginning May 2026.
