The MDNA Tour - In Madonna's Own Words

From madonna.com:

My show

Is a journey.

The journey of a soul from darkness to light

It is part cinematic musical theatre.

Part spectacle and sometimes intimate Performance art.

 

But above all its a journey

From darkness to light

From anger to love

From chaos to order.

 

It's true there is a lot of violence in the beginning of the show and sometimes the use of fake guns - but they are used as metaphors.

I do not condone violence or the use of guns.

Rather they are symbols of wanting to appear strong and wanting to find a way to stop feelings that I find hurtful or damaging.

In my case its wanting to stop the lies and hypocrisy of the church, the intolerance of many narrow minded cultures and societies I have experienced throughout my life and in some cases the pain I have felt from having my heart broken.

 

Ultimately as we follow through the journey of my story, the audience can see quite clearly what I see -

That the enemy is within and the only way to survive Disappointment Disapproval Judgment Heartbreak Jealousy Envy And Hatred Is with Love - not with revenge - not with guns and not with violence.

 

In spite of all the chaos and darkness and intolerance we seem to be encountering more and more in the world,

We cannot allow our anger or bitterness to swallow us up.

We come to understand that

There is an innate and pure love inside us all and we have to find a way to tap into it.

 

And we can't do it by being victims or placing the blame or pointing the finger at others.

But by recognizing that the enemy is within

And when we come to terms with it

And accept it

And struggle to change ourselves,

Then we can change the world without hurting anyone and we can inspire others to do the same.

When you watch a film there are usually good guys and bad guys to help illustrate this point, Sometimes I play both.

I enjoy acting out this journey.

For none of us are perfect and we all have our own journey of growth to go on.

I know people can relate to it.

It's very important to me as an artist that my show not be taken out of context.

 

It must be watched with an open heart from beginning to end. I am sure if it is viewed this way, the viewer will walk away feeling inspired, Invigorated and will want to make the world a better place.

 

And this of course was always my intention.

The American leg of the tour starts tonight!!.

No changes to the set list in the first American show.

 

She didn't start till 10:30pm.

Not really on her ass :lol:

 

Plus, another show has been added in Madison Square Garden!

"After 3 sold out shows, (including two at the Yankee Stadium on September 6-8 and one at Madison Square Garden on November 12th) we are happy to announce that Madonna has just added a fourth and final New York show to her MDNA Tour itinerary. The new show will take place at the Madison Square Garden on November 13th!"

Somebody at the show tweeted me that hence why I said that. I didn't know that so thanks.

Without South America's grosses the tour will gross a minimum total of $266m.

Madonna sang Holiday for the fans in the rain last night in New York.

Madonna dedicates Masterpiece last night to Lady Gaga and said sometime very soon they will be on stage together.

Madonna performed Love Spent on the main show last night.

Love Spent: Live in Chicago

Amazing hope it stays in the show !

I'm not really a fan of Love Spent, I hope she doesn't cut Like A Virgin short again as its a highlight of the show imo.
