I'm gonna take pics of everything I can tonight guys. And TRY to remember as much as I can. I'll probably be on anti anxiety meds though... Cuz I get super anxious at concerts, so I can't guarantee I'll remember anything ? If you have any specific questions let me know. I'll be alone in VIP probably bored before the show starts.

#letsrescuerescueme

yeah but it looked like it had not finished being set up .....

If you are in the VIP area, try to find people with Medellin tickets to find out hiw the backstage tour works!! Would really love to know if it's just a rushed photo on stage or a proper tour. I'd also like to know if anyone won tbe Icon contest and when/how they were notified. As for the concert, M should be anxious, not you! It's a theatre, not a stadium, so there is much less to be stressed about, and you will enjoy it more than you expect!! You are our INFINITY representative!!!

We all want Rescue me more than any other song...! I hope they know ! (Personally LAP in the Eurovision version is the worst idea ever... Shitty version, bad souvenir...)

Madonna: 'I want to reinvent pop tours' http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-41269047

Madonna’s New Concert-Ticket Strategy: Higher Prices, Smaller Venues Her latest tour, which opens Tuesday, is planned around theaters rather than arenas, and fans will be paying more—especially at the high end https://www.wsj.com/articles/madonnas-new-concert-ticket-strategy-higher-prices-smaller-venues-11568644941

???#Madonna has just arrived at BAM in New York to do the last rehearsals before the opening of her big #MADAMEX Tour show. Are you ready❓??

Recap from 2 years ago: 2 years ago Madonna told the BBC she was "exploring" a smaller-scale show in the future. "I've done so many shows - world tours, stadiums, sports arenas, you name it - that I feel like I have to reinvent that now too," she explains. “I like doing intimate shows and being able to talk directly to the audience.” "This is something I'm exploring right now: the idea of doing a show that doesn't travel the world, but stays in one place and utilises not only humour and the music in a more intimate setting but other people's music, as well, and other entertainment. "Kind of a revolving door of amazing, gifted, unique talent - dancers, musicians, singers, comedians, me, humour. I don't know! Like, I'm trying to come up with all those ideas now." “I like doing intimate shows and being able to talk directly to the audience; to play with them and use humour and pathos and truth, and share my life - and also make up stories. I like the freedom of it and I like the intimacy of it, and I would like to explore doing it more in the future.” BBC: Maybe a residency? Madonna: Yeah, a residency. If I look back at the Rebel Heart tour, my favourite [part] was really the last section where I got to just sit on the stage and play my ukulele and sing La Vie en Rose and talk to the audience. [It was] just more intimate. More audience participation and connecting to human beings - I feel I'm craving that more and more.

Thanx a lot, but I've got some real news now From another M forum: seems that a friend of a user is outside of the theatre in a point where he's able to hear some far sounds from the rehearsals. Here's what is happening: she rehearsed the album version of Crazy, the announced sequence Future and Like a Prayer, wich was described as glorious with the Batukadeiras voices, then the remixed version of Crave (and I'm more and more disappointed as Crave is my favourite track on the album and I HATE remixes wich make every song sound the same) and Like it or not. I will continue to update here if there will be more news, as it seems they're turning down the volume at the moment. Following I include the link to the two samples shared till now. https://vocaroo.com/i/s05u33LboF0w https://vocaroo.com/i/s05u33LboF0w

sold out apparently ... and not tour book confirmation

I think I'm gonna spam my Twitter with all the pics so I'll try and link some here, but if someone wants to keep an eye out there. @MRLUVBUTTER If by following me you get a bunch of recommended porn accounts... I have no idea why.

remember not only is madame x a spy you are a spy in the house of love ....hint hint

In a Lyft*

there has to be something surely even to thank the crew etc etc - there will be something maybe not a tour book but something ...:(

9:30... Doors open at 7:30 It's 6:10 right now

Haven't read any recent news about it. Are you inside already @RUADJAI?

It's crazy how much merch she's making. I feel like it's more than usual.

Make sure you have the best night in a long time!!!

Careful @groovyguyyou're spoiling things! Not for me but for those who stayed away from IG and Infinity rehearsals threads:

Unfortunately, I'm not attending the show tonight. Had tickets for the cancelled Sept 15th show. :( Will attend the BAM show Oct 5th and on show in Philly.

According to the guys who were outside of the theatre last night, these are the songs she rehearsed: started with God Control and Dark Ballet, she then performed in casual order Frozen, Human nature, Future, Like a Prayer, Medellin, Crazy, Come Alive, Sodade (apparently a kind of samba arrangement) and Crave (remix ... such a pity imo). Here is the link of the Like a Prayer rehearsal and, for what they heard, sounded like the Eurovision arrangement. Don't know, keeping my finger crossed for surprises, but not that excited at the moment. Sad about that, it's the first time this is happening to me. https://vocaroo.com/i/s0dyUU6gnyK1

12!!

Welcome back @groovyguy! We missed your presence here!! Are you attending the show? Or just documenting for those who are far? I'd gladly spend the night awake hoping to get news. If she's rehearsing in the morning, she'll be soooo late tonight! More snippets here: https://madonnaunderground.com/spoiler-madame-x-tour-rehearsal-audio-clips/ Unfortunately those clips are all album tracks. No real vocals, no live instruments. Edit: some more spoilers of the song rehearsed today in this pist by @stefo: https://madonna-infinity.net/forums/topic/20300-madame-x-tour-songs-expectations/?do=findComment&comment=824284

Madonna was rehearsing! Some fans have already recorded small excerpts from the rehearsal She already sang crazy, crave and like a prayer!

In dispair for the rumoured setlist, I tried to think how I would have dreamt it to be: 24 tracks, with three more songs quoted (one minute or two each, not more), from wich 13 are from the back catalogue and 8 are major hits, one is a cover and 11 are taken from the Madame X album. It's a dream, so standard two hours long format and ABSOLUTELY NO JOKES! MADAME X SPY CHARACTER SET Intro/Vogue I don't search I find/Rescue me Human Nature American life God Control (with elements of Hung Up) I Rise (long outro with dancers on the scene) SOCIAL ISSUES SET Live to tell Dark Ballet Frozen (dedicated to the many who pretend not seeing what happens in the world around them) Killers who are partying/Spanish Eyes Love profusion Future LISBON INSPIRED SET Batuka Prayer (live Batukadeiras interlude)/Batuka (With Batukadeiras) Rain (with Batukadeiras) Extreme Occident/Easy Ride Sodade Like a Virgin (morna version) Crazy FINAL SET Don't tell me (reworked in a sophisticated way) Borderline Crave Ray of Light (mid tempo crescendo arrangement) Come alive (with the Batukadeiras)/ Like a Prayer

We can expect this.

sucks

On another forum they are discussing about how much different this whole era is in terms of PR, not costumes sketches, not a statement, not indiscretions, covers or interviews of any sort

heres the intro ....i just hope she adds more to it ...more VOGUE ...i do like it though but it just needs something more ...more dancing ...the type writer effect is genius ...i think the type writer will play a huge part in the show

Tonight the press will be there right?

Here is what the Broadway community audience thinks of phones inside a theatre: https://www.broadwayworld.com/article/BWW-Readers-Sound-Off-About-the-Use-of-Cell-Phones-In-The-Theatre-20190917

There are plenty of tickets left for tonight on sale at ticketmaster... Can't believe the show isn't sold out.

I don't think so, because when she entered the building and removed the scarf that covered her, she still had her hairs in a tail

Good Luck. ?

Thank you. Lovesss. I can't wait to see what she looks like tonight!

We have pro-shots of the first two songs since tge Virgin tour, so I supposed it will happen this time too! At least that please!!

I'm dying of excitement. I can't wait for my shows in November.

Can't wait to see what everyone thinks, including @groovyguy!

When people stop following what they are told to like and dislike she will have a hit. They have to drop their built in notions about her. She has of course, especially on this album, become more serious and I think that is what people crave most from Madonna. One of the reasons I was drawn to Madonna in the beginning was that I thought she had something more to say than I was used to hearing from Pop stars. There was real depth in her lyrics and she combined that depth with catchy music. There is no doubt in my mind that the music industry has done everything it can in the last decade to influence potential fans and older ones to not bother with her anymore. Madonna's strength was always her fans not listening to the many people who tried to influence opinion. Madonna has always had critics...the only difference today is that some of her fans are going along with those critics now. Why? Only they can answer that. This is also coupled with Madonna seeming to be dealing with emotional upheaval in the last decade. She seems much happier now and I do agree with a post above about her being more experimental and that is a wonderful thing and makes fans like me very happy if not chart focused ones. I definately think Madonna will have another hit because quite simply she never gives up.

Can't the united nations force a trial on the issue?

Wow... so show WAS filmed in its entirety... I wonder if it frustrates her. That it is literally her most beloved by fans treasure, THE most asked for, THE most talked about Madonna show... and this incredibly filmed concert never saw the light of say in its complete form. It must annoy her lol. #icantfindthetapesisnoexcuse

Peter Magennis (who I think is on this forum) did a great blog with two people who worked on the Paris filming: Lisa Hollingshead (Line producer of the Blond Ambition footage shot for TOD): http://thebeatswithin.blogspot.com/2011/09/truth-or-dare-lisa-hollingshead-speaks.html Toby Phillips (Cinematographer): thebeatswithin.blogspot.com/2011/12/truth-or-dare-toby-phillips-speaks.html
