the new songs performed at the show will also cost a few hundred million... that, plus performing Faz Gostoso.... that's easily a billion...

well, where would one billion go? sure, there will be other substantial costs, but it's a concert, not the Olympics

the one billion dollar budget? Not sure if this is what you mean, but regarding the "one billion dollar" rumor - the cost of the entire 2024 Olympic Games is 4.5 billion... and that's with all the stadium reconstructions, all the construction work going on in Paris, accommodation for everyone etc. The Burj Khalifa cost 1.5 billion to build. Fans are throwing crazy numbers around. The entire tour will earn about $200 million, the show in Rio won't cost more than a few millions.

it wouldn't make much sense, too many serious media outlets reported about this... sure, they would gain extra clicks and make some profit with fake news, but they could make up some more sensationalist stuff than Madonna extending her tour with one extra show.

fans are going overboard with theories... one billion dollars, new songs, new stage, DVD recording, live broadcast...

why would the sponsors invest one billion dollars in one show? It doesn't take more than a few millions to bring a major star to perform.

a video featuring Popular goes viral on Instagram and other platforms... 11 million views on Instagram.... but not for the right reason https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4c8GLhyDEV/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Surely they wouldn't bring a million people to the concert to see a shortened version of the show... some changes will have to be made, like an additional construction above the stage and the catwalk, because there will be no ceiling to support everything, but they had to do that for most of the arena+stadium shows

A total fan. She was a huge part of my childhood, my teenage years and my 20's, but then I went through a phase of love/hate. Nowadays, I'm more casual about being a fan, but I still identify as a fanatic overall.

Reading about it on reddit, somebody inspected the code of the website, and apparently one of the links in the code directs to Icona Pop (they are singed to Ultra, one of Sony's labels).

at this point, it seems to be just a rumor about the plans to revive the musical, not the actual announcement

Because she might be somehow connected... lending her name to the production as a part of some business venture

Exactly, that's why I think it's a reality singing competition of some sort

The insider confirmed that person's name starts with an M!

but it's not just tiktok, there is an "official" page too, linked to the official Sony Music website. I mean, sure, somebody could make a fake page and lie about their affiliation to Sony, but I don't see what good that would do.

While you are right that it's probably not related to Madonna as he own personal project, I doubt a serious label like Sony would be involved in using Madonna's name without her permission. I still think that a reality competition is the most likely scenario.

of course! I mean, there are official Madonna slot machines in Vegas At least this is music related

He add this after somebody pointed out Madonna had already been in a Broadway show! This is a major clue! Also, with all the other guesses, he denies them right away, and when Madonna is mentioned, he does not deny anything, only leaves comedic comments.

somebody mentioned a reality show or a competition, and this sounds like the best guess... Madonna could have approved the use of her name, it would make sense

for me - American Life and Ghostown... but both are overrated only by the fans

If I had to pick one - Nothing Fails, not just in the US, but everywhere

It's fun to have your own videos, but at the same time, when you are shooting them, you are looking at the show through the phone instead of seeing Madonna with your own eyes.

do you have a source, or are we just speculating because she's in town?

sounds like a great plan, this will make huge headlines around the world, it's priceless promo
