I wish she removes the two cover songs and skips the chat, Polaroid and beer part and adds Easy Ride, Looking for Mercy, Bad Girl, The Power of Goodbye, Beautiful Killer and Wash All Over Me.

Guys!!! A full audio recording from last night show will be shared coming soon!!! @Fighter Put attention honey!!!

London is so excited for Madonna to come....
 

They sure are taking their time with putting the tour book on the website. New York City run is over and it’s still “coming soon”. Is it the first time they make tour books? Lol. The entire thing has not a single original image, and everything is from the album booklet and the sessions we’ve seen so far. I wonder how much longer it would’ve taken had it featured a new photo shoot ?

So yesterday was Madonna’s final show in NYC, and I gotta say... WOW, just that, I mean overall she puts in a show which is totally different to the ones I’ve seen before. I can recall right now how amazing is the transition from “Rescue Me” as interlude to “Frozen”, the goosebumps when she sang the first verse of the track and Lola in the projections and their faces and looks intertwined, by far is the best performance of the song since DWT. Speaking of the DWT, it reminds me sometimes about it, since that tour was the one in which she performed few “hits” or songs from the 80’s, and this time an important part of the album is performed on the show. She dances way much more than in the RHT! It’s also incredible that even though she had a knee injury she managed to pull out an entire show, without making changes on the setlist or finishing it earlier. 
 
In The first segment, “IDSIF” is very theatrical and groovy. The beginning of the Fado segment is very energetic and it’s just Madame X songs, so if you like the album, this segment would be your favorite one. When she performs “Crazy” it is noticeable the chemistry between her and this new “boyfriend”, however, I expected a better performance of this song. “Medellin” and “Extreme Occident” are by far the greatest ones in this section. “Come Alive” also is one of the highlights, at least for me, the choreography and projections were beyond my expectations! “LAP” was sung by everyone yesterday, the crowd really sang along! The last number, “I Rise” it’s totally appropriate regarding the message that the concert as a whole intends to give, Madonna being so close to us is magical! I was mesmerized by that moment! New York will miss Madame X! Madonna is a legend for a reason. 
 
10/10 BRAVOO

I cannot believe what I just saw... it was a great closing show for the Madame X tour in NYC, so many highlights... Taylor Swift attended the show! By far the greatest performances of this tour are “Frozen”, “IDSIF”, “Batuka”, “Medellin”, “Come Alive” and “Extreme Occident” which made the stairs to bump Madonna, anyways she kept singing! Gotta take my flight to hometown... later I probably post an enhanced review of the show! I’m still mesmerized by it

me too :D 

I'm not a 90 years old  that has to be in bed by 8pm so it's not a freaking tragedy if I'm staying out late for ONE night to enjoy a Madonna show, I treat this like a real huge party, as it's not every day that I afford to see her. I know there is a possibility she will be late and so I plan accordingly.

So I finally saw the Madame X show last night. As titled, the show shares the journey and experiences of Madame X as well as the current state of the world we live in.
Before I comment further on the show, I must say I absolutely love the pre show live music by the 4 member band, which performed several Madonna tracks - Secret, DTM, WTG, LAV. They sound brilliant.
Seeing the show live - which is visually stunning - I can understand the songs selected for the setlist. Note: Don’t worry. I’m not gonna go through each performance in the setlist.
She started the show literally with a bang - God Control. Then she performed Dark Ballet which ended with her being put into a round box space. It then seamlessly flowed in to Human Nature with her executing gorgeous choreography ala the Human Nature video. Those who thought her previous tours were too political might find offense in the first section alone which she throws in your face strong poignant political commentary. 
No one should take away our human rights and our right to live. We will not be silenced. We will speak and fight for our rights. Her PDP performance shows her stand against those trying to overthrow Roe Vs Wade and her fight for equal rights for women. She ended the section fittingly with American Life - “nothing is what it seems”. Side note: that AL bass is LIFE.
The second section is exactly as she introduced to us - her life and new music inspiration and appreciation in Lisbon. Beginning with Fado music. This section is a massive hit if you love the Mx album and a sore miss if you’re not a fan of the album. That said, I find this section the most broadway-esque if that makes sense.
The last section for me is about being freedom fighters craving for a brighter future despite obstacles and hardened people who want to take away our democracy. And she ended the show fading out with “We Will Rise” as she disappeared into the main exit of the theater behind the audience with her performers.
To sum up, this is a dream show for me in that it is an intimate, highly choreographed yet spontaneous, visually stunning and artistic theatrical performance. Is it perfect? No. But its imperfections make it perfect for me if that makes any sense.
Bitches, I absolutely love the show!

@Semtex1It sure will! The Palladium is quite small so any seat should be great!

I have no data about this, but I imagine that not everyone in theaters in NY is American. I am Brazilian and I know dozens of people who are traveling to watch the shows. As well as several other nationalities must be doing this .... in the US and in all other countries. I currently live in Spain (Barcelona) and people are going to Lisbon/Paris. I will go to Lisbon. 
And another point: unlike Americans, people in Europe often speak several languages, mainly English - and we must not forget that people who pay at least 200 euros for a ticket have good purchasing power, and probably a good education. I don't think language will be a barrier and make her uncomfortable, boring, etc. 
 

wow that would be dream <3 

They seemed to offer that to quite a few people in the upper levels, maybe to fill in holes in the orchestra. 

Seems that there are 2 groups of reviews: negatives from people that didnt even attend and positives from people that did attend.
Simple as that.

Since M14 (Madame X) is out now, the trip begins in a certain way again - Life is a circle. I am wondering what next step for Madonna would be possible: She has done almost everything... Disco, Subtropical sounds on M14, R'nB etc. Usually the grain for the next record lies in the record before. In a way I also see Madame X as a developpment from Rebel Heart, including the infulences she found in Lisbon.
So, to cut a long story short, what could M15 sound like? Working with Mirwais/ Dean again? Going full pop or experimental?
