Why did Gaga perform Enigma outside of Vegas?

[danbekim 3,062]

I'm still thinking about the Enigma performances outside of Vegas, like the Apollo Theater one or the one at Apple. Why did she perform at these places? If she wanted to get the show out for more people why do them at these private events?

Maybe she petty and wanted it to get cancelledT after the H8 from fans, so she will only do Jazz Revue in Vegas

you might be onto sum... 

looking back the show doesn't seem as bad as everyone made it out to be? I mean the wigs are questionable but outside of that I really enjoyed the show!

It’s because they were private events. Not much point in staging an entirely new show for something that isn’t public facing when you are already doing a greatest hits show that works well for general audiences.

money honey 

She got paid a lot of money to perform those shows and why would she change anything given her whole team was already prepped with that show.

Please... She was doing it for the money, not to get the show out for more people

Anyone who disagrees is just delusional

Maybe she thought they could be lovers, even just tonight

As users noted above- the show was already locked in, why create something special (like the Roseland residency) for private corporate shows?

Also, that was in & around the early days of Haus Labs as a startup, more funding may have been needed.

I don’t think she necessarily was trying to get the show out to more people, but was just doing it for the extra pay-check.

Because she/management wanted to and they had a show already perfectly planned and organized so why would she do a special one with band and dancers for a couple of nights...

The show was rehearsed, and a good way to keep up with the shows routine before going back to Vegas.

Also, the $

Obviously she does her shows for money, just like every other entertainer past and present, but the two Enigma shows at Apple and Apollo bookended one of her Vegas runs in May/June 2019. She presumably gets offered private gigs all the time and turns down most of them, but she has a habit of doing one just before a concert tour, so the Apple one here fits that pattern. The Apollo one was New York, it was during Pride, it was hosted by Sirius XM, and she was still in concert mode after the Vegas run, so it ticked a lot of boxes.
