    VogueMusic reacted to Blue Jean in The Celebration Tour - Bitch She's Madonna's Fan Voted Awards   
    Hello everyone!
    As part of my YouTube channel, to celebrate the finale of the tour being broadcast live I will be doing a special fan voted awards "ceremony" for The Celebration Tour. Categories will include things like best tour costume, best hairstyle, best song arrangement, best ballroom judge, favourite dancer etc. There will also be a countdown of the best performance from the tour as voted by the fans. I would love if you could all click on the two links and vote in each category! (I promise it should only take you a few minutes.)
    I will share the results on YouTube a few hours before the show in Brazil premieres

    The indoor arenas use the actual arena infrastructure to suspend rigging for whatever show is being presented, as in the picture above. Yes, all arenas are different, but they're made for rigging up whatever a production may need.
    For stadium or outdoor shows, since there is no roofing (and said infrastructure) to house/hang a production, they have to actually build it (that's what I meant by "custom engineer" it). Like the Sticky & Sweet stage below -

    What I meant was they'll have to build something like this if they're going to present the full, original production as she's touring it now - as major parts of the production require rigging (hanging) far out into audience, over the multiple catwalks.  I don't think it's impossible...I think some of us are just unsure considering all shows so far have been indoors.
    (Sorry, I'm trying to explain it as best I can (based on what I've learned about touring productions). I apologize if I'm not clear... )

    The reason for lack of tourbook may just be cost to produce.
    As someone who attends pro national tours for theater regularly, as well as other live shows, for the past decade tour books, or "souvenir programs", have been all but slowly phased out. Majority of shows I go to now no longer have tour books. I've inquired why with industry professionals, and they have all stated that the cost to produce them is high, and is no longer considered worth it compared to how many they sell. So, essentially, they're just not seen as profitable anymore.
    Yes, some shows do make them still, luckily...but it's becoming much more of a rare thing.
    It's not unique to Madonna whatsoever.

    That's ok, I understand what you mean. It is hard to really know how feasible it is but to me going by these images it seems pretty straight forward. It is just a matter of adding another structure to hold it all up as they've done with Sticky. Considering they lease the stages and everything and that the components are recycled I would assume adding that wouldn't be anymore difficult than building a bridge from the hotel to the stage. Keeping in mind I know absolutely nothing about this type of thing. I don't believe the fans saying it's logistically impossible (not you) work on big arena/stadium shows designing or setting up staging equipment either. Unless they do, I'm not sure how they would really know what is and isn't possible? There are a number here who insist the show won't be the same but I don't know how they've determined that? The image above shows that it's very possible, it would just have to be a bigger version of that. I also feel, knowing what we know about Madonna, the idea of her doing a half missing version of her show and then broadcasting it to millions seems unlikely. But I guess we'll see.

    Actually, it is setup to be attached to the venue though. All the rigging for the entire show, particularly the extended lighting, flying portal, etc. are suspended using the infrastructure of the arena. That's typical setup for arena shows. Considering the design of this show, it essentially was made with arenas in mind -

    The only time they design and erect custom housing for the rigging system (depending on the design of the show) is when artists do outdoor stadium gigs (hence no roof). They can design a housing that will support it though, but it has to be custom engineered for it (like the extended rigging housing the circular screens that came down over the circular stage b for Sticky & Sweet). So technically it's not impossible. But I think it depends on the specific design of the individual show.
    Perhaps she worked it out as part of the deal? It would seem a bit out of character for her to compromise nearly the entire presentation of her show, esp. if said show is going to be filmed. Anyways, who knows...

    Why does it have to be custom engineered? None of the venues it suspends from are custom designed and they are all different. So it must be fairly flexible to what it can be attached to. It is even possible that when they designed the show they planned for the possibility of taking it to stadiums/outdoor venues. There are really just too many unknowns for us to jump to the assumption that the show won’t be the same.

    People keep saying this but I don’t see why they can’t bring in an additional structure to suspend everything from. These kinds of things are done all the time, it’s just a question of budget. And im pretty certain, with the amount being paid and the fact it’s being broadcast she will feel it necessary. I mean, The Rolling Stones had an entire bridge built for them and additional lighting set up to light up the entire audience. I don’t imagine it’s that difficult to have some extra bells and whistles for Madonna.

    Hmmm... I don't see what a tour book has to do with the official tour film? They are two completely different things.
    Madonna is one of the very few artists to have a track record of some sort of official video documentation of all her tours - full show or documentary. I doubt she'd leave out this seminal concert tour, considering it's success and what it represents. I highly doubt there would not be a film/broadcast of some kind.

    Good point. I personally don’t think it will be missing those elements. I can’t imagine she’d want to broadcast this show without Live to Tell.
    So far, the only reason we have to believe that is based on fan speculation. But I believe the frame thing she moves around on is connected to her own set up and can probably be set up outdoors. The lights above the centre stage are also going to need to be there. Plus all the side screens. I think it’s fair to assume the show will look exactly the same because if they take those things away it’s going to be pretty different. And they have already stated it will be the same stage etc.
    What will be different is that the audience will not be tiered. So with no roof as well it will be interesting to see how it all looks.

    I believe every show is filmed by the in-house video team, every night. We've seen a bit of that footage from Sasha on his insta - https://www.instagram.com/reel/C2aKpQ_sm_j/   Most concert films from all artists are now compiled from that in-house feed, with the addition of some extra crane shots brought in on certain dates (if needed). It's not like the old days where you had to bring in a specific team, cameras, extra lighting, etc. That's just what I've picked up from reading articles about how they do concert films now. Don't take it as gospel though.
    As for Rio, who knows, but it wouldn't surprise me (as said above) that she wouldn't agree to this unless the direction/editing can be done by her team, with the director selected by her. Perhaps it will be Jonas, as he was observing cameras and talking with the team in LA. Though directing live, in real-time, is a different skill set that one really has to be well versed in to pull off correctly. So who knows...
