Alice Cooper and Criss Angel play Welcome to Our Nightmare six more times this year, all at the Criss Angel Theater in Planet Hollywood: Friday to Sunday, November 27 to 29, and Friday to Sunday, December 4 to 6. It's a 90-minute show where Cooper's songs and Angel's illusions happen at the same time, not in turns. Thanksgiving weekend or the one after. Pick one.
How it started
The pairing opened on March 6, 2026, as a spring run at Angel's own theater. The first shows sold quickly enough that more dates were added, and the September announcement brought the fall run to six nights by adding November 29 and December 6. In spring the set ran 19 songs, and Cooper used it to play deep cuts he had never done live, including Cold Machines and I Am Made of You, plus You and Me for the first time since 1978. Phones were banned at those shows. Nobody filmed the tricks.
What the show is like
Welcome to Our Nightmare is a rock concert built inside a magic show. Cooper sings the hits, including Poison, I'm 18 and School's Out, while Angel's levitations, pyrotechnics and stage illusions play out around the band. Cooper has staged horror theater at his concerts since the early 1970s, with gallows, guillotines and snakes. Angel built this theater for large-scale illusions. The two habits fit. It gets loud.
Where: Criss Angel Theater, Planet Hollywood, center Strip. Dates: six nights, November 27 to December 6, 2026. Length: 90 minutes. Best for: Cooper fans, magic fans and anyone who wants their concert with fire and a few disappearances.

Who should skip it
Anyone who wants a straight greatest-hits concert may find the illusions in the way, and anyone who came for a full Criss Angel magic show will hear more guitar than they expected. Young kids may find the horror staging a lot. That's fair. For Angel on his own, our comparison of Penn and Teller, Criss Angel and Mac King covers his regular show.
