Planet Hollywood's 4,500-seat Axis Theater will be where J.Lo makes her first appearance on January 20. Lopez will hold residency at the same resort where Britney Spears is playing her concert "Piece of Me."
Lopez tweeted, "So excited!!! This is going to be the show I've always dreamed of creating."
Fans can expect a mix of pop, R&B and fan favorites tinged with the singer's Latin flair, Planet Hollywood posted on its website.
So far, a total of 20 shows are scheduled in January, February, May and June.
