Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Toni Braxton and award-winning actor/comedian Cedric the Entertainer are expanding their Love & Laughter limited Las Vegas engagement.
Six more dates are being added to the pair’s residency at The Chelsea at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. Beginning in February 2025, the extended run’s dates are: Feb. 14-15, May 9-10 and July 11-12.
Love & Laughter is a pairing that Arlington Global Entertainment CEO and Braxton manager Kenneth Crear had been brainstorming for a few years before its initial launch this past April. “Cedric and Toni have such a good friendship and their onstage chemistry reflects that,” Crear tells Billboard. “The Love & Laughter residency is popular because you are taking two iconic individuals and bringing them together in a way that is nowhere else on The Strip. We are so thankful to our partners who have supported us fully from the start.”
“I’ve been having the best time doing these shows and so excited we get to continue into 2025,” adds Braxton. “Sharing the stage with Cedric is seriously so much fun. I mean, he’s a comedic genius but also he’s like a brother to me so it all feels seamless and really fated. Cedric is the Baron and me, I’m the Baroness. It’s a royal night of love and laughter.”
Echoing Braxton, Cedric the Entertainer says, “From the very beginning, we knew this idea was something special. Toni and I have been friends for years; we’d often laugh and talk about the idea of doing a Sonny & Cher, Donny and Marie-style Vegas show. Both of us have been performers for many years, so the idea was incredibly appealing. We’ve both been extremely pleased with the audience’s reactions, and we’re grateful to see Las Vegas embrace the show so much that it’s been extended for many more performances.”
