Final update, it was fun to create this with you all

· The Manifesto of MAYHEM

· Act I: Of Velvet and Vice

   o   Bloody Mary (verse+chorus+crazy vocals+operatic moment version)

   o   Abracadabra

   o   Judas (shortened 1st verse-chorus-2nd verse-chorus)

      §  Longer instrumental interlude

   o   Scheiße

   o   Garden of Eden (a literal garden grows from the staging as the song plays)

      §  Chromatica II

   o   911/Poker Face

      §  Interlude explains/shows how she falls into the gothic dream. Maybe the white queen decays to reveal Gaga for Act II

· Act II: And She Fell Into a Gothic Dream 

      § The common grave/ossuary/pit is reworked into a third stage, at the back of the arena, making Gaga more visible and affording for more movement options)

   o   Perfect Celebrity 

   o   Disease

   o   Paparazzi (1st verse-chorus-2nd verse-chorus, walking from stage 3, to stage 2 and ending i¿on the main stage)

   o   Sine From Above  (first verse and chorus, a capella, in front of the fan after the end of Paparazzi)

   o   Alejandro/ Don't Call tonight (Alejandro is shortened even more, DCT is almost a reprise version, sung in the balcony, different instrumentation)

   o   The Beast

      §  Blood moon Mistress Mayhem sings from the second verse onwards. Longer interlude

· Act III: The Beautiful Nightmare That Knows Her Name

   o   Killah (shortened, breakdown leads to CSTH)

   o   Can’t Stop the High (CSTH 2nd verse up to around 2:58)

   o   Zombieboy (Skeletons for the first half of the song, then new choreo with the male dancers wearing the skull masks from act II. Gaga gets a skeleton keytar for the outro)

   o   LoveDrug (with keytar, shortened)

   o   How Bad Do U Want Me (shortened to 2nd verse+chorus+bridge+last chorus)

      §  New interlude of Mayhem waking Gaga up to reality after the dancers mock her

· Act IV: To Wake Her Is to Lose Her (we keep the deconstructed piano)

   o   Shadow of a Man/Kill for Love (Kill for Love goes from 2:43 in the song through 3:28) 

   o   Born This Way

      §  Interlude, harnessing the chaos within

   o   Happy Mistake (shortened to first verse+ chorus+ bridge+outro)

   o   Blade of Grass/Die With a Smile (BOG is shortened to 1st verse and chorus, Gaga’s part of DWS)

   o   Shallow

   o   The Edge Of Glory (short and not extremely belty, save the power for VIY, this is her moment to address the fans)

   o   Vanish Into You

·Finale: Eternal Aria of the Monster Heart

      §  Longer “Monsters Never Die” intro with extra visuals

   o   Marry the Night (shortened, a capella like she used to do in the BTWB, 1st verse and first chorus. Gaga on the hospital/morgue bed that now has her sitting, but still shrouded behind that plastic material)

   o   Bad Romance

 

The outfits and hair styles can be revamped. Make some minor changes between legs, like she did during the BTWB to wigs and some outfits.

New and lengthened interludes to make the storyline more cohesive and to afford Gaga some more time to rest between acts.

- Continue to leave "Just Dance", "Lovegame", "Telephone", "Edge of Glory", "Rain On Me", "Dance in the Mid" in the back

- Maybe add in 911 and Aura since they both have that ACT 1 vibe.

- Strangly feel "Sexxx Dreams" and "Perfect Conclusion" would fit into the GOTHIC DREAM narrative :vegas:

 

911 is a total buzz kill

Replace Shadow Of A Man with Marry The Night :ororomunroe:

And STOP SAYING “GOOD NIGHT” WHEN THERE’S STILL SONGS LEFT:saladga: She always does that and it always confuses people

To be honest, some of the breaks were soooo long. Like 4/5 minutes in between songs just slow the show down so much. 

I think it would be good to add some more recent crowdpleasers, at least Rain On Me.

The only part I would really change is Alejandro, a different song would work better. Or she should switch them out depending on the night just to keep it fresh with her speeches she does with the song. 
 

Every artist seems to be embracing the surprise stunts or songs on their tours, I know Gaga doesn’t follow trends but a surprise acoustic song would be really heart warming for fans. Marry the night, teog, happy mistake etc would be great or just any song of hers really.

I would love for her to add some rose themed decoration during Garden of Eden, and I feel like a Don’t Call Tonight/ Alejandro mash up makes sense narratively 

don't call my name, don't call my name, DON'T CALL TONIGHT! ooh oh ohh

this would eat as a transition

Add Applause after Born This Way or Bad Romance, and Just Dance after Killah. Also, Enigma can fit somewhere in there.

Can I vanish into a cheeseburger pizza?

I think the show will be completely different. I really doubt this Coachella/promotional show is the mayhem ball.

I just wanted a nice transition into 911 added in and I'm happy

Hello??? This is the perfect set-list :holdmyhand: This is what I need from her, to perform every song from Mayhem, even just as a short transition (LoveDrug in full though!).

But I will fight for Marry The Night along the way somewhere, maybe before Paparazzi? The moon is on the LED screen at that time, like come on ...
