“Play” time has begun in Las Vegas. On Wednesday night, Katy Perry launched her highly anticipated Las Vegas residency at the Resorts World Theater. Aptly titled “Play,” the show is quintessential Perry, who indulged the emotional, the over-the-top, the whimsical, the psychedelic, and even the cheesy over the course of 95 minutes. The concert — which the artist is referring to as “Perry Playland” — amounted to a giant singalong, which seemed to be exactly what she had in mind. Just one day before opening night, Perry posted a video of the setlist so that fans could prepare and brush up on the lyrics. “Perry Playland,” she captioned, is “Where you can come and sing along to so many of your favorite songs!” […] Still, the music was only part of the show. This being Katy Perry, the production was larger than life.
