You're right... The catwalks wouldn't work well for a huge crowd anyway, I think they are too narrow and too low for a beach concert

I don't know if it's reliable, but it's being circulated as the Copacabana stage. Seems very likely to me.

She looks great and the song is cool but the video is completely forgettable.

This discussion of whether or not Madonna can sing is so 1983, I just can't...

Britney in L.A. (I hope March 5th or 7th, the two nights I'll be attending)

Belgium stress!

After watching many videos of the show, I can definitely say that I loved it. However, it’s not perfect and could be much better with some tweaks, in my opinion. Main issues: the narrative is not always clear, there are some very anticlimactic moments (Papa Don’t Preach, Human Nature, Crazy For You, La Isla Bonita), The Beast Within interlude (again???!!!) and the closure. I would start the show in the future. Bob could state this, to be clear, and we have the same beginning with Nothing Really Matters followed by Bedtime Story, Ray of Light, Frozen intro and first verse tied to full Rain (including the bridge), and leading into the Ghosttown chorus “When it all falls...”. At the end of the song, we see the first “Madonna of the past” in a Like a Virgin wedding dress and the real Madonna tells her “Not everyone is coming to the future because not everyone is learning from the past”. The Like a Virgin / Billie Jean interlude begins (I loved it), and then we go back in time to NY in the early 80s. Then we have Everybody, Into the Groove, Open Your Heart and Holiday leading into the same incredibly beautiful Live to Tell (no Burning Up, we need to save some time and this one is cut). Then the same Unholy/Act of Contriction intro, Like a Prayer (adding the second verse), the same Living for Love interlude leading into the Erotica segment. I would merge Erotica and Justify My Love (songs and choreography) to save some time to at least have the first verse and chorus of Papa Don’t Preach when Madonna finds her old Blond Ambition self (which is genius). Then the Fever snnipet, Hung Up (only the original, bye Tokischa) and (the wonderful) Bad Girl. The same Up & Down Suite interlude, Break My Soul/Vogue mashup (including the second verse and bridge please!), the ballroom funny thing and full Crazy For You as a sweet moment (no Human Nature here). A new little interlude is needed here, not the long, recycled and out-of-place The Beast Within. It could be Human Nature, with the screens showing her political side (fighting misogyny, homophobia, ageism, etc. – another interlude has some of these images that could be relocated). So I would replace Die Another Day with Express Yourself (keeping the same witch costumes and similar choreography), followed by Don’t Tell Me as it is. A little talk about family, then Mother and Father (although I prefer Promise to Try), more talking (freedom fighter, revolution of love bla bla bla), a snippet of Rebel Heart playing guitar and La Isla in full (I Will Survive karaoke and Don’t Cry for me Argentina are cut). Her “old self” could appear again here, perhaps the same “No Fear” from American Life. Then we would see the I Don’t Search I Find interlude, which I think works better introducing the final act (but not that long, remember we moved some scenes to the previous interlude), the same GMAYL chants, the same Bitch I’ m Madonna with the drag queens dressed in her iconic looks, and a revised and longer encore: a medley with Celebration, Give It To Me and Music, ending with “Nothing really matters, love is all we need”, referencing the first song and becoming full circle as she loves!l The show would go like this: Bob’s intro Nothing Really Matters Bedtime Story Ray of Light Frozen / Rain / Ghosttown Like a Virgin / Billie Jean interlude Everybody Into the Groove Open Your Heart Holiday Live to Tell Unholy / Act of Contriction intro Like a Prayer Living for Love interlude Erotica / Justify My Love Papa Don’t Preach Fever Hung Up Bad Girl Up & Down Suite intro Break My Soul / Vogue Crazy For You Human Nature interlude Express Yourself Don’t Tell Me Mother and Father Rebel Heart La Isla Bonita I Don’t Search I Find interlude GMAYL / Bitch I’m Madonna Celebration / Give It To Me / Music I tried to keep the runtime the same and only make a few small but effective changes. What do you guys think?

I couldn't agree more!

She sang DCFMA in Brazil during S&S.

I can see current Madonna singing "Hold Tigh" to little girl Madonna dealing with her mom death or 90's Madonna facing the backlash against Erotica era, would be a lovely moment in the narrative!

Never performed Rebel Heart song: Hold Tigh? Joan of Arc? Wash All Over Me? Veni Vidi Vici? Grafitti Heart (Please no)? All of them can fit in the narrative of her life... Oldie but goodie song about dealing with her mother's dead: Promise to try? Oh Father? Inside of Me? Mother and Father?

That was my first guess too!

Oh God, we're getting Hold Tigh and Promise To Try! 😍

Three never performed classics: La Isla Bonita, Like a Prazer and Vogue! 🤡
