    honestlyhlf got a reaction from Voguerista in How to watch Celebration in Rio   
    I'd need to look into it more, but - and there may be exceptions to this - it looks like it may only be accessible with the purchase of other TV/streaming subscriptions within said countries (as it is with the Sling TV subscription in the US).
    I'll do some more research when my baby niece has left and add any useful information I find to the big post for everyone.

    Just to compile the information shared thus far into one post:
     
    1.      THE SHOW WILL BE BROADCAST ON TV GLOBO & MULTISHOW. YOU WILL NEED TO CREATE A GLOBOPLAY ACCOUNT.
    The show will be broadcast on the Globoplay channels TV Globo (a free TV channel in Brazil) and Multishow (a paid for channel in Brazil). Confirmed here.
    We can expect to see the programme listing here by Wednesday 1st May/Thursday 2nd May, and on the day, there should be a banner on Globoplay.
    Reports are saying Globoplay will have an open signal (so the show will be available to watch without being logged in), but to be safe, you can create a free Globoplay account to gain access to TV Globo here. Alternatively, you can sign up and pay to gain access to Multishow here with the ‘Globoplay + canais’ subscription.
    Please note: You will be asked to provide your telephone number as the final step of the sign-up process. The input field seems to restrict the number of digits you can enter, which may present an issue with some international telephone numbers. There should be an option to skip entering your phone number and set it at a different time. If - for any reason - the option to skip doesn't work and results in you being presented with an error page, people have reported that doing a password reset seems to resolve the issue.
     
    2.      IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO VIEW/WATCH TV GLOBO OR MULTISHOW WHEN LOGGED INTO YOUR GLOBOPLAY ACCOUNT YOU WILL NEED TO USE A VPN THAT HAS BRAZILIAN SERVERS.
    Due to copyright restrictions and geo-restrictions, you may find yourself unable to watch TV Globo or Multishow even after creating your free account or setting up a subscription. In this instance, you will need to use a VPN that enables you to connect to Brazilian servers in order to watch.
    Commonly recommended VPNs include NordVPN and Surfshark due to the range of servers available and fast download/upload speeds. Both of these do charge a small monthly fee, but come with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you sign up for either now and do not wish to use them beyond the broadcast, you can cancel and get your money back.
    Not sure how to set up and use a VPN? The setup guides (covering various operating systems/devices) are here for NordVPN and here for Surfshark.
    On the day of the broadcast, ensure you have connected to a Brazilian server/set your location to Brazil via your VPN.
    You can check that everything’s good to go in advance by connecting to a Brazilian server/setting your location to Brazil via your VPN, logging into Globoplay, and trying to watch TV Globo (or Multishow, if you’ve purchased the subscription plan). If you can watch then you’re good to go.

    Don’t be. You will be able to watch it afterwards, one way or another – it’s not just going to disappear into the ether. As with everything, it will likely end up getting shared around. There will also be official ways (yet to be confirmed) to watch via streaming services, I'm sure.

    Yes.  The amount of numbers it was requiring didn't fit the way we list our numbers.  Luckily there was an option to leave it for an update later. However, each time I tried to bypass it, it kept sending me to an error page. Eventually, when I reset my password, I was able to by pass submitting my number. Anyway, I am able to access the site and content without no issues of now.  Keep in mind everything remains locked until you switch to a Brazilian VPN server.

    After a few attempts, I was able to successfully sign up for free on Globoplay.  It kept asking for a cellular number to add more security to the account, but the numbers it wants is not equal to how my number is displayed, but I was able to bypass that by selecting I would set it at a different time. However, it kept taking me to an "oops page".  I had to reset a password to my account (which I never originally set when first signing up) and it finally worked. 
    Note: all programing will be locked, so if you try to play something it won't let you until you switch to a Brazilian VPN server.

    If you have a subscription to Sling TV, it looks as though you may be able to watch via that subscription. Instructions/guidance on how exactly to do that here.
    There also looks to be a free 3-day trial available for new customers.
    NOTE: Sling TV is geo-restricted to the US.
     
    B.    WITH A DISH SUBSCRIPTION THAT INCLUDES GLOBO.
    If you have a subscription to DISH that includes Globo, it looks as though you may be able to watch via that subscription. Instructions/guidance on how exactly to do that here.
     
    C.    VIA MEGACANAIS.COM.
    @InterlacedGeekhas shared this link to Mega Canais. It looks as though it lets you watch whatever the Multishow channel (the paid/subscription channel) is broadcasting.
    NOTE: This link was shared alongside advice to '[access] it on a desktop computer with a block ads [browser] addon because there are a lot of annoying ads. [It] works on phone too, but with lots of ads.'

    Don’t be. You will be able to watch it afterwards, one way or another – it’s not just going to disappear into the ether. As with everything, it will likely end up getting shared around. There will also be official ways (yet to be confirmed) to watch via streaming services, I'm sure.

    Just to compile the information shared thus far into one post:
     
    1.      THE SHOW WILL BE BROADCAST ON TV GLOBO & MULTISHOW. YOU WILL NEED TO CREATE A GLOBOPLAY ACCOUNT.
    The show will be broadcast on the Globoplay channels TV Globo (a free TV channel in Brazil) and Multishow (a paid for channel in Brazil). Confirmed here.
    We can expect to see the programme listing here by Wednesday 1st May/Thursday 2nd May, and on the day, there should be a banner on Globoplay.
    Reports are saying Globoplay will have an open signal (so the show will be available to watch without being logged in), but to be safe, you can create a free Globoplay account to gain access to TV Globo here. Alternatively, you can sign up and pay to gain access to Multishow here with the ‘Globoplay + canais’ subscription.
    Please note: You will be asked to provide your telephone number as the final step of the sign-up process. The input field seems to restrict the number of digits you can enter, which may present an issue with some international telephone numbers. There should be an option to skip entering your phone number and set it at a different time. If - for any reason - the option to skip doesn't work and results in you being presented with an error page, people have reported that doing a password reset seems to resolve the issue.
     
    2.      IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO VIEW/WATCH TV GLOBO OR MULTISHOW WHEN LOGGED INTO YOUR GLOBOPLAY ACCOUNT YOU WILL NEED TO USE A VPN THAT HAS BRAZILIAN SERVERS.
    Due to copyright restrictions and geo-restrictions, you may find yourself unable to watch TV Globo or Multishow even after creating your free account or setting up a subscription. In this instance, you will need to use a VPN that enables you to connect to Brazilian servers in order to watch.
    Commonly recommended VPNs include NordVPN and Surfshark due to the range of servers available and fast download/upload speeds. Both of these do charge a small monthly fee, but come with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you sign up for either now and do not wish to use them beyond the broadcast, you can cancel and get your money back.
    Not sure how to set up and use a VPN? The setup guides (covering various operating systems/devices) are here for NordVPN and here for Surfshark.
    On the day of the broadcast, ensure you have connected to a Brazilian server/set your location to Brazil via your VPN.
    You can check that everything’s good to go in advance by connecting to a Brazilian server/setting your location to Brazil via your VPN, logging into Globoplay, and trying to watch TV Globo (or Multishow, if you’ve purchased the subscription plan). If you can watch then you’re good to go.

    Thanks for the heads-up/warning though  
    With it being white and satin/satin style, I can see how it would be shiny and crease easily. I like that it's an Alpha Industries MA-1 though (those jackets are made well), with everything embroidered rather than printed. The snap closures (rather than a zipper) are a nice touch, too.
    Unlike the BAT bomber (which I wear constantly), I think I'd instinctively treat this one as a collection piece due to the colour anyway. Me and light colours typically do NOT mix well - I'd end up with some kind of stain on it the first time I put it on 🤡

    honestlyhlf reacted to Brendanlovesu1 in Madonna Talks Life on Tour With Her Kids: “Nothing Brings Me More Happiness”   
    Madonna has been clear from the beginning that The Celebration Tour is no mere “greatest hits” circuit. It’s more like an artist’s MoMA retrospective blown up into an arena tour showcasing her singular contributions to the culture. It’s also the Queen of Pop’s most deeply personal tour yet, paying tribute to her influences, mentors, parents, and the friends and collaborators she’s lost. Nowhere is that personal touch more apparent than the inclusion of four of her children in the show. Across 78 performances so far, Madonna has worked double-duty as mom with son David and daughters Mercy, Stella, and Estere along for the ride—each one getting their own moment on stage. Mercy accompanies her mother on piano during “Bad Girl,” while David duets with his mom on “Mother and Father” (which, apparently, required the young musician to work up a bit of confidence to do). Twins Stella and Estere meanwhile, show off their dance skills during “Don’t Tell Me” and a segment dedicated to ballroom.
    Ahead of her final arena dates in Mexico and a historic (potentially record-breaking) free show in Rio de Janeiro, Madonna sat down to answer questions over e-mail about life on the road with her children.
    Rocco performed on stage during MDNA, and Lola worked in the wardrobe department on that same tour. Your children always seem to be involved in some capacity with your work. How does that feel as a mother?
    I have always been blessed with children who are interested in music, dance, and art. Starting from the top with Lola, who was not only an incredible ballet dancer and and a rhythmic gymnast, switching to musical theater and contemporary dance. Now she is a unique singer and song writer in her own right. When I go on tour, nothing brings me more happiness to know, we are all working on the same show creating the magic together. It would be boring if they were just traveling from hotel to hotel, and occasionally coming to watch the show.  Of course, I am also their mother so sometimes we get on each other’s nerves. We are a family of artists but are also a family and that’s what happens.
    How did the idea of including your children on this tour come to be?
    When I go on tour, nothing brings me more happiness than to know we are all working on the same show, creating the magic together. It would be boring if they were just traveling from hotel to hotel, and occasionally coming to watch the show. Of course, I am their mother so sometimes we get on each other’s nerves. We are a family of artists but we are also a family, and that’s what happens.
    It seems like your children have been honing their talents for years. How important is it for you as a mother to make sure they take their art seriously?
    Because The Celebration Tour is a retrospective of my life, I thought it made perfect sense to include all of my children still living with me in the show. As they all dance, and play musical instruments, and have been doing so for years.  David has played guitar since he was a child.  Mercy has played piano since she was eight and has been classically trained most of her life. Eventually, when I adopted the twins, they started to play piano and dance as well.  There is always an endless parade of music and dance teachers coming and going in our house. And then we add to that Djing as Estere showed a keen interest in learning. She started taking DJ lessons and took it very seriously.
    Each of the children has their own moment in the show. Mercy James playing piano during “Bad Girl” was a highlight. Any back story on how that all came together?
    I saw a strange poetic juxtaposition of hedonism, erotic exploration emerging into the light of Mercy, sitting stoically at her grand piano playing Chopin as she beckoned me towards her, making me think about the choices I have made in my life.  Singing Bad Girl was kind of a confession, not an apology, and I felt we had an unspoken understanding of what was happening.
    Stella performs in “Don’t Tell Me,” which is a big number during the show. How was she with learning the choreography?
    Stella, who I would say is my shyest child, comes alive on stage, and I love having her as my little cowgirl. But she happens to be an incredible fine artist, and I’m hoping that she follows in the footsteps of Rocco who after being a B-boy, skater, and graffiti artist has really come into his own as an incredible painter.
    David singing a verse during “Mother and Father” was fantastic. Has he expressed any interest in following in your footsteps with a musical career? He had originally only played guitar at the beginning of the tour. Did it take some convincing to get him to sing?
    Mother and Father is one of my favorite moments in the show because it gave me a chance to not only honor my mother and her memory but also to honor David’s mother and her memory. He has always wanted to sing and play guitar.  He loves being on stage. This is nothing new. I love that we both get to sing to our mothers. Much of the show is about motherhood, family, and the importance of that in my artistic life.
    How did Estere get so into ballroom? Does she have any vogue mentors (aside from you)?
    While Estere was learning how to DJ she became interested in ballroom competitions and just by luck, one of my choreographer’s assistants, Ivy Mugler, has her own ballroom house called House of Mugler.  She started taking Estere aside during rehearsals in another room, and within a couple of weeks she was doing death drops and spins and surprising us with her ability.  So, of course we had to turn that section of the show into Estere’s Ball.
    Because this tour is a celebration of your entire career, did you kids learn or realize anything new about you?
    I think what my children learned the most in this year of rehearsing and performing is that if you want to follow your dreams, you have to work hard for them.  And if all of them choose something different later in life, they will never forget this year of blood, sweat, and tears.
    The tour just wrapped up its U.S. dates. With five shows in Mexico City coming up and the huge free concert in Rio, what’s going through your mind right now?
    This show was created for an indoor arena. Transforming and adapting it to perform outdoors on the beach, with no roof in Rio is going to be quite an undertaking and full of surprises. God willing, we will pull it off, and it will be an experience they will never forget.

Or for those who just want to watch along with me/others and chat.
