Let's tweak the show

So, Gaga’s almost finished with the promotional shows, with only the 4 Singapore shows left. With the tour starting in July, and the venues changing to arenas, I think it’s safe to assume the show will be and adapted version of the promo shows.

The show is almos perfection, butI do think some very minor tweaks could help the tour, so here are my thoughts:

Setlist:

-The Manifesto of MAYHEM

-Act I: Of Velvet and Vice

Bloody Mary

Abracadabra

Judas

Scheiße

Garden of Eden

Poker Face

-Act II: And She Fell Into a Gothic Dream

Perfect Celebrity

Disease

Paparazzi

Don't Call tonight (andy232000's suggestion)

Alejandro

The Beast

-Act III: The Beautiful Nightmare That Knows Her Name

Killah

Zombieboy

LoveDrug

How Bad Do U Want Me

-Act IV: To Wake Her Is to Lose Her

Shadow of a Man/Kill for Love/Can't Stop the High

Born This Way

Blade of Grass/DWS

Shallow

Vanish Into You

-Finale: Eternal Aria of the Monster Heart

Bad Romance

I think moving the shortened DWS after BoG keeps the energy of Act III up.

I would also ditch Gaga’s skeleton companion for zombieboy and give her an skeleton themed keytar. Since she’s not performing DWS she wouldn’t need the skeleton piano for Act III and I would use it for Act IV.

What are your thoughts ? Keep the changes to the minimum possible, no full revamp, switch a couple songs at most.

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

I agree, DCT and Alejandro should be a medley. Specially after Paparazzi and PF, DCT makes a lot of sense

I believe she does not do full DWAS because of a copyright and conflict of interest issue. I don't think it's due to a time constraint or otherwise. Otherwise, such a hit would initially be integrated into the piano segment, and she would sing it in its entirety.

On the other hand, I don't think it would change the piano design, which I haven't seen anyone talk about, because it serves the purpose and aesthetics of that act in question. From my point of view, that act serves as a counterpoint to the previous act. If in Act III there is a sort of excess of artifice (skeleton, skeleton piano, two changes of outfits and even a third if we count the ‘horns’ headpiece), Act IV is about being stripped down and showing the talent in the purest way possible (minimalist look, the most heartfelt songs, the piano with an absolutely stripped down design, which is nothing more than the ‘heart’ of a piano, without a shell). That's why I consider that it would make no sense to move the piano from Act III to Act IV.

I do think the show would benefit from some modifications. A keytar in Garden of Eden, for example. She should sing Alejandro in its entirety! It's a highlight of the show. Act III definitely requires modifications: the outfit is definitely not one of my favorites, and I feel she should incorporate an old hit to make it flow better (Just Dance, Telephone, Applause.... in fact, this last one would fit very well with the spirit of that act and it's been a long time since she's done it live). I'd also like to see her incorporate some rotating ballad in the piano segment or an acoustic version of Marry The Night (that would be awesome).

- 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:

Interesting point

I don't need a full DWS performance either, but it does feel a bit out of place in the third act

The only tweaks I want is for her to get out of the litter box for PC and Disease. I feel they they have so much energy that they don't need anything choreographed in such a small space.

And add LoveDrug somewhere :awesome:
