ALICE COOPER And CRISS ANGEL Release Video From 'Welcome To Our Nightmare' Collaboration Shows In Las Vegas

Iconic rocker Alice Cooper and legendary illusionist Criss Angel have just released an exclusive video clip from their recent "Welcome To Our Nightmare" shows — the first-ever visuals made available.

Cooper has also revealed that Nita Strauss will be rejoining his band for the upcoming "Welcome To Our Nightmare" shows in Las Vegas with Criss on November 27-28 and December 4-5 at the Criss Angel Theatre at Planet Hollywood.

The "Welcome To Our Nightmare" shows are a historic and innovative creative collaboration combining Alice's legendary rock 'n' roll hits and Criss Angel's award-winning mastery of magic, and played to sold-out crowds at Planet Hollywood's Criss Angel Theatre for several weekends earlier this year.

Strauss, who joined Alice in 2014, last appeared with him in Las Vegas March 6-8, before taking a leave of absence to have a baby earlier this year.

Anna Cara, who has been filling in for Nita throughout 2026, will continue with Alice on his "Alice's Attic" tour September 17-22 and October 27-November 21.

Said Alice: "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 opened our 2026 touring season in Las Vegas back in March and is now returning to close out 2026 with us there, and we're really looking forward to welcoming the Hurricane back onto the stage. Bringing Nita back after she took a break to start a family is the perfect way to wrap up 2026.

"We couldn't believe our luck when we confirmed Anna Cara to fill in for [Nita] for all of our shows across North America and Europe this year. Anna has been a true asset to the tour and she's now part of the family. Who could ask for anything more than to have these two amazing musicians in the Cooper family?"

"Welcome To Our Nightmare" opened March 6 at the Criss Angel Theater inside Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino, and the first three shows sold fast enough to force the addition of more dates.

The production combined rock theater with illusion techniques in what organizers described as a "revolutionary concert spectacle of magic, music, and mayhem." This limited engagement represented a rare intersection of rock history and modern magic mastery at the venue on the Vegas Strip, bringing together decades of performance innovation in one explosive presentation.

Phones were strictly prohibited at "Welcome To Our Nightmare", which was also described earlier this year as "a 19-song, 90-minute collision of rock anthems and mind-bending illusion". Cooper's set included deep cuts, including a couple of songs that had never been performed onstage before, "Cold Machines" and "I Am Made Of You", alongside a performance of the ballad "You And Me" for the first time since 1978.
