Thania Garcia As Bad Bunny‘s “Most Wanted Tour” made its first of three stops at L.A.’s Crypto.com Arena Wednesday night, fans dressed in western-themed getups gathered to witness the return of the Puerto Rican megastar for his first outing since his eye-popping “World’s Hottest” stadium run. Split into four separate acts, this production felt much more theatrical than his last, as proven by the intricate pyrotechnics and the orchestra — which served as a 10-minute opening act — nestled onto one of two crescent-shaped stages on either side of the arena.
In a swift transition, the strings that introduce the artist’s latest album, 2023’s “Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana,” also introduced his entrance onstage. Then, his booming voice echoed the first lines: “Dicen que el mundo va a acabarse, ojalá que sea pronto” (“They say the world is going to end, I hope it’s soon”).
With Bunny — or Benito Martínez Ocasio, as he later introduced himself — on one stage and the orchestra on the other, a sea of fans filled the remaining middle ground of the floor. The singer would spend much of the night moving from one side to the other, and the latter half of Act II balancing atop a floating catwalk that rotated, placing him face-to-face with the fans seated in the upper sections of the arena.
One (or both?) of the stages also had risers, making pretty much any seat in the house a good one. Maybe it’s the volume of subject matter, or the fact that he’s at the height of his fame, but Bunny performed with a swiftness that left little room for improvisation.
