Madonna in New Jersey – first review

MADONNA has arrived….after months of build up, a successful European jaunt and a chart topping album, she has fianally arrived on the shores of the USA.  The New York Times John Pareles caught her first show at East Rutherford.

Jon writes:

“Madonna built her stardom on her assets — her ear for hooks and beats, her looks, a predictive fashion sense and an instinct for pushing cultural hot buttons — and the Sticky and Sweet show insists, even demands, that they still have their effect.

She pumps up the volume, piles on the beat and mixes the unstoppable and the baffling, the thrilling and the ridiculous. The set had four thematic sections: the present-day dance floor, the old school, the big wide world, and political and spiritual aspirations (via the dance floor).”

He goes on to describe the elements of the show.

“No one is ever going to stop me,” Madonna proclaimed in her finale, “Give It 2 Me.” But as the show ended, the last glimpse of Madonna was a video close-up of her sweaty, unsmiling, exhausted face. She had worked hard, and showed it.” Full story here.

Sounds like a great show, not one to be missed. 27 more shows around the states and Canada.
