Notes:

- Little Star: acapella snippet for Lola birthday on 14/10/2023.

- Madonna on 15/10/2023 didn’t perform the last act - “Like a Virgin” to “Celebration”. Show started late due to camera issues and ended early due to O2 curfew.

- Into the Groove: after the first two nights in London, from the third one the small rap of Missy Elliott was cut out from the song.

- Live to Tell: from the third night, a thunderstorm sound effect was added during the intro.

- Causing a Commotion: on 22/10/2023, M sang acapella the chorus of the song before “Burning Up”. She did it again on 15-16/11/2023 shows in Cologne; Amsterdam 02/12/2023; London 05-06/12/2023; Brooklyn 14-16/12/2023; Washington 18-19/12/2023; Boston 08-09/01/2024; Toronto 11-12/01/2024.

- Sodade: on 06/11/2023 and on 07/11/2023, in Lisbon, M and her son David performed a short version of this song on guitar before "I Will Survive".

- I Love New York: she sang the chorus of this song during “Burning Up” on 02/12/2023 Amsterdam show and during the 05/12/2023 London show. During the 3 shows in Brooklyn (New York), 13-14-16-/12/2023, she performed a mash up of these two songs: First/second verses and choruses of “I Love New York” sang on the instrumental of “Burning Up”, then she started to sing the last one from the bridge.

- Express Yourself: from 08/01/2024 M replaced “I Will Survive” with an acoustic rendition of this song.

- Frozen (contains elements of the Sickick Remix): from 11/01/2024 M replaced “Rain” with this song.

 

Rehearsals:

- Candy Perfume Girl: rehearsed at the very early stage on rock guitar.

- Burning Up: rehearsed at the very early stage on acoustic guitar.

- Celebration: originally the opener followed by "Nothing Really Matters", then rehearsed as an outro and it didn't have elements from "Music".

- Nothing Really Matters: considered also as the final song and "Everybody" as the opener.

- The Power of Good-Bye: rehearsed as one of the final songs.

- Ghosttown: rehearsed on guitar with her son David.

- Mother of Creation: considered as an interlude, probably before "Bedtime Story".

- Papa Don't Preach: rehearsed in full.

 

- Three weekd before the opening night she deleted the first act that had songs like "Music", "Candy Shop", "Back That Up to the Beat" & "4 Minutes". She also replaced "Frozen" with "Rain", changed the original choreo (with chairs) of "Live to Tell" and also changed few remixes.

 

- During the final dress rehearsals in London she deleted:

Oh Father: supposed to be performed after "Like a Prayer" or in the "Don't Tell Me" section.

Sorry: probably performed after "Hung Up" or supposed to be performed in the "Don't Tell Me" section.

Hold Tight: performed after "Don't Cry for Me Argentina"; deleted for "La Isla Bonita".

 

- Joan of Arc: on 01/11/2023 during the soundcheck, M rehearsed this song two times.

Due to tech problems she was late yesterday night, and probably they cut something to respect the curfew

Like a Virgin RHT

[ErickInTheZone 392]

The only songs I would change would be Bitch I'm Madonna (because it's IMO one of her worst songs ever, I dareday one of the worst things she has ever done) and Don't Cry For Me Argentina bc to me it doesn't make much sense to perform this song unless it is actually in Argentina

[Honey Little 3,996]

Would love Spotlight or Rescue Me as an extra surprise encore.

[Angelo 5,715]

15-10-23 - UPDATE.

Hold Tight: performed after "Don't Cry for Me Argentina"; deleted for "La Isla Bonita".

I'd have loved to see these three songs performed, specially Oh Father, such an emotional ballad.

So she did consider to put "Candy Shop" in the setlist. Thank God she gave up.

(I wonder now what made she change her mind... Maybe a fan threatened her with a bouquet full of hydrangeas, who knows... )

Much likely THIS was the reason.

I have no reason to doubt @holdtight.
