Summary: Madonna's Sexy Live Circus!
Review: The circus-like concert begins with a topless dancer slowly sliding down a tall pole. When the dancer disappears behind the curtain, an S&M costumed Madonna mimes to a remix of "Erotica" on a turning platform."Fever" is next, with Madonna seductively flirting with two male dancers. Quickly, Madonna adds a head dress and mimes to "Vogue" with Donna, Niki and all of her dancers with amazing choreography. Later, Donna, Niki and Madonna sit on chairs to perform "Rain." A circus-like interlude takes place. The stage becomes a 70's discotheque, as Madonna (dressed in 70's attire and an afro wig) descends from the cieling on a disco ball. Donna and Niki join her to perform a 70's style "Express Yourself" and "Deeper and Deeper," which turns into an onstage orgy between Madonna and her dancers. Immediately following is "Why's it So Hard" and "In This Life." Another costume change follows, with "The Beast Within" playing and two male dancers portraying homosexual intercourse, sibling rivalry, and acrobatic partnership. Madonna shows up onstage in a tuxedo and performs "Like a Virgin" in a masculine voice and German accent. The now transvestite Donna and Niki show up for a lesbian performance of "Bye Bye Baby." The mood quickly morphs from "Screw You" to "Soy Loca" when the song "I'm Going Bananas" from Madonna's "I'm Breathless" is performed, with "La Isla Bonita" to follow. After Madonna rambles on the stage about stealing from hotels, nose mucous and being short, the dancers all dress in military garb to perform "Holiday." "Justify My Love" is the first encore, and delivers spectactularly in the artistic aspect of the show. Dressed in a top hat, sunglasses (or an eye patch, depending on the performance), she mimes to "Justify My Love" as more circus shenanigans ensue. "Everybody is a Star / Everybody" is next, while Madonna, dressed in a yellow Adidas shirt (or a white tube top, depending on the performance) dances, sings, and "gets up to do her thing." She introduces her band in the song, as well as her "sisters" Donna De Lory and Niki Haris. The show closes with perfection, and leaves the audience stunned and wanting more.

Summary: First class tour in hard times!
Review: 1993 wasnt the best year for Madonna. She had lost alot of fans after the sex book and body of evidence movie as well as the Erotica album (probably one of her most overlooked albums). In the last bit of 1993 she decided to go back on the road witth the Girlie show. She looks absolutely fabulous here with that hair style and the costumes. I would say the Girlie Show is her best tour so far. i have yet to see the 'blonde ambition tour' az it isnt out on dvd or video. I have seen snipits of it from the in bed with madonna film, however. There isnt an aspect of this tour that is boring. every second of the tour has you on the edge of your seat or ready to jump up and dance. With her Re-invention tour coming later on this year, i hope to see some of these greeats from the Erotica album once again. Hopefully it will be on DVD by christmas 2004! If you are pondering on buying this or not....do yourself a favour and BUY IT ASAP!!! its a first class piece of entertainment!
