Alice Cooper and Criss Angel have added four more performances of their Welcome To Our Nightmare show at the Criss Angel Theater at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, following a sold-out run earlier this year. The new dates are November 27, November 28, December 4 and December 5, 2026.
The announcement arrived alongside the first official video clip from the production, giving fans their first look at footage from the show.
Watch the Welcome To Our Nightmare Video
The newly released clip is the first video made public from the production. Several viewers who attended the earlier 2026 performances left comments asking for an official DVD or Blu-ray release, and one fan said they traveled from Michigan for opening night and was already considering a return trip.
What Is Welcome To Our Nightmare?
Welcome To Our Nightmare is a 90-minute theatrical concert combining Alice Cooper’s rock catalog with Criss Angel’s magic and illusion work, billed as a “Shock Rock Magic” production. The setlist includes:
- “Poison”
- “I’m Eighteen”
- “School’s Out”
- “You and Me”
The show played sold-out weekends at the Criss Angel Theater in March, April and May of 2026, which led to the new fall dates. Cooper said: “We added the November and December shows after the March, April and May shows sold out so quickly, so that more of our fans could experience this very special show that Criss and I created.”
Nita Strauss Returns to the Alice Cooper Band
Guitarist Nita Strauss, who joined Cooper’s band in 2014, will return for the November and December Las Vegas shows. She last performed with Cooper in Vegas on March 6–8, 2026, before stepping away from touring to start a family.
Anna Cara, who has filled in for Strauss throughout 2026, will continue with Cooper on his “Alice’s Attic” tour dates from September 17–22 and October 27 through November 21, ahead of Strauss’s return for the Welcome To Our Nightmare shows.
Cooper called Strauss “the Hurricane” and said her return is “the perfect way to wrap up” the 2026 season.
