Lucifer's Angel

That is because it had been ages since she performed True Blue. I remember Madonna saying something like she would never perform True Blue again after she broke up with Sean Penn, so it was a huge surprise to see that song in the set-list of the RH tour after such a long time. However, I'm sure that if she starts performing True Blue at every concert the effect would not be the same. I'm honestly over-saturated with Vogue, Music, Holiday, LAP, LAV, Candy Shop...she always does those songs and it is getting so boring and repetitive. Madonna has a great catalog and it is not fair that many great songs have never been performed live...

But she performed both Vogue and LAP in two tours in a row...she perfromed LAV in every tour since the Confessions with the exception of the Sticky&Sweet (altho LAV was performed as requested song)...LIB and Music also get performed a lot and in a row...I don't mind that much and I do get wild too, but when you get LAV, LAP and Vogue on the same set-list like for the MDNA tour or LIB, Music and LAV for the RH tour then it feels like she's paying dust to her other hits. It would be nice if at least she tries to alternate more her hits and avoid repeating the same ones of the previous tour...   p.s. she's can sell stadiums even without new album or never heard before setlist...that is what it comes with the legendary status.

I think it is more important to please the fans than the gp in a concert.  The fans are the ones that attend more concerts and it should be more interesting to see different set-lists every time. 
Said that, Madonna got 22 #1s hits worldwide...that is more than any other artist! There is no need to perform always LAP, LAV or Vogue:  frozen, the power of goodbye, nothing really matters, sorry, take a bow, beautiful stranger, burning up etc are big hits that the crowd will remember ... 
If Madonna keeps performing the same hits then the gp will end up remembering only those songs... I think it is important that she keeps alive the greatness of her entire catalog and a concert it is the perfect place to promote a song.  On top of that, Madonna can get the crowd singing along I'm a Sinner or laughing along Unapologetic Bitch. She doesn't need her classics to interact with the crowd cuz she knows how to put a show. 
 
p.s. Madonna name alone can fill stadiums so I hope she will avoid arenas this time...

My top 5 is
1. Lucky Star
2. Burning Up
3. Everybody
4. Holiday
5. Boderline

I disagree. Madonna never did an album like HC and it was a breath of fresh air after the COADF album, in which she came back to her disco roots. HC is innovative and experimental and proves Madonna ability to choose current producers at the top of their game and and still be able to push them further to achieve something totally unique and pioneering like the HC album.
Let's face it: the only real skip on HC is the Incredible song. Seriously, even Spanish Lesson is lowkey a bop and a great way to learn some Spanish. There is plenty of substance on the rest of the album:  4 minutes still got a great message to save the world and Miles Away's lyrics are extremely mature and it kinda forecast the imminent divorce with Guy Ritchie. It may not be a subject as deep as the lost of her mother, but it still deal with very important and personal stuff.  Not to mention that HC songs are joyful and make you dance! Even the ballads got awesome bridges and melodies.
The hard true is that Like a Prayer tries to be joyful but it miserably fail: Cherish, Dear Jessie and Keep It Together are meant to be happy cheerful songs but they are just plenty boring and got pathetic lyrics. Those songs aged quite bad  and  are definitely a skip in the album.  Love Song is bland and disappointing cuz Madonna and Prince did not put enough effort on it; and, finally Act of Contrition tastes like the title track leftover. This means that half of Like a Prayer album is not that great at all. 

I wouldn't mind this set-list

Love it how she's taking a stand amid Eurovision controversy 

haha Milan is so snob xD Italy got plenty of other beautiful theaters like la Fenice, Olympic theater, Massimo theater...it would be awesome if Madonna announces more dates, maybe after Eurovision. 

yea, I mean Italy is one of her strongest markets...Italians are even streaming Medellin a lot...it would be unfair to skip Rome imo.

As fans we should all be excited and supportive that Madonna keeps being creative and experimental. 
The theater is undoubtedly a magical place. 

I disagree. I think Madonna could still fill stadiums in the EU, SA and Asia. For instance, during the RHT she had to add multiples arena dates in the EU states to be able to satisfy the demand, when she could have just had 1 or 2 stadium dates for country. She's clearly doing theaters for artistic reasons, not commercial ones.

Italians do it better

Glad that she hasn't announced all the dates in one go. It makes sense to announce more dates after Eurovision and now I got some time to prepare myself for that.

OMG theater??? Fuck yeah, that would be so interesting and innovative!!! I love the idea of theaters because you can achieve really a wonderful level of intimacy and the quality of sound is even better than arenas!
Obviously the tickets will be very expensive, but rightfully so. I believe that if you wanna see Madonna close you either got to fight and queue for it or you got to pay a lot.
Madonna is not an arena act and it is fucking humiliating to see Madonna perform in arenas cuz she gives her best in a stadium production tour when she rehearse much more and the budget is higher. Lets face it, there is not great intimacy in an arena and whoever wants Madonna to become an ordinary arena act is trying to tarnish her legendary legacy. 
I'm so glad that Madonna keeps doing what she wants to and the theater is a great reinvention! I'm sure she will deliver mind-blowing theatrics...I mean just look at the poster 
That being said, it is very luckily that in the future she will do again a stadium greatest hits tour...but for now let her experimenting something new 

got to disagree. I love Madonna sense of humor and auto-irony. Her stand up debut was promising imo
 

the prices are justified cuz she puts on a legendary show. Maybe she will use the same mind blowing technology (encoded reality, holograms etc) that she used during the bbmas.. that technology cannot work on big venues I think.
I'm very happy that she's doing something different and unique. The RHT tour proved that arenas are not meant for Madonna cuz the production of the show is too much lowered down. 
Finally, just a reminder that an Iphone costs more than 500$..it is just about priorities you know.

with some special glasses like in the cinema maybe

I know it is expensive but I think she's worthy every penny that she's asking for. 
Anyway, it will be sold out even if you don't attend
