Perfection. I love the idea of adding songs! Such a great show!

I wouldn’t replace anything to be honest, just add more songs. 

  • Words after Vogue
  • Thief Of Hearts and Bad Girl in the Studio 54 section
  • Rescue Me in the sailor section perhaps before La Isla Bonita

I have a newfound love for the Girlie Show. The live band is so incredible. Back when everything actually sounded live and not just and album version. 
If I were to ADD/move something, I think I would do Rescue Me after Deeper & Deeper and then into Justify My Love after the orgy scene. Yes. Remove the disco outfit though.

I would change her hair and wardrobe only. Perfect make-up, IMO the best of all. I remember seeing her in a restaurant in BA back in 1993. I was dining with my parents some 5 meters away from her table. People were making harsh and snide remarks about her appearance, it was outraging. I was in awe that she was there, but I remember thinking her hair or haircut was not very becoming for someone of her height. Yeah, she is very small. At one point she saw me and I was paralized, her gaze is icy, sharp and piercing. I was just 20. It was such a magical night because I was still  very excited about the Girlie Show that  I'd just seen two hours before, and to coincide at the same restaurant was mind-blowing to say the least. 

 On the flipside, I don't think this show  has aged too well.

What I would change would be to have had the show performed in a theatre. Chris Ciccone said they were considering it initially and I wish they had, or at least filmed the show in a theatre. Even if the tour was in arenas and stadiums.

The show is such a mix of cabaret and burlesque, both of which were at home in smaller venues, plus much of the choreography is detailed and requires a better view, particularly Erotica. So many small movements. Even in the pro shot shows, having wide shots for Erotica ruins it. 

Even if she had filmed (not taped) the MSG shows, she had multiple nights there. The released shows are not the best representation of the show in my opinion. Fat witcher is right, the shows needed better editing, I think even Madonna said she wasn't happy with the way the Sydney show turned out.

Also wished she had kept the velvet hot pants she wore in most South American shows, instead of switching to sequined ones. 

I would also have loved her to have kept her Dita look from the Erotica video, which I guess hair wise was similar to Nikki and Donna, a pulled back bun. But I guess fate took care of that since bleaching her hair from red to blond made it break off and nessecitated a hair cut.

In terms of set list, wouldn't change much. Not a big fan of her Marlena Dietrich version of LAV, I think she could have still done a cabaret style version of the song but not mimic Marlena so much. I guess we have Gene Kelly to thank for that, lol.
