Wait, is it too much to expect an entirely new show for Mayhem arena tour? What's the point of arenas giving her "creative freedom" vs stadiums if she's not doing something very different in arenas???

I watched the Coachella livestream so if it's essentially the exact same thing as the show I paid £220 to see I'm gonna be sad

I mean, taking into account that she said she wasn't planning on touring this year, plus the short timeframe, I'm just being realistic.

I do think she can do more with the staging for the arena shows, since the venues allow for more control

I love the skeletons but I wish she would make it more fun and just throw hers away at some point :huntyga:

Also I'm begging, she needs to add Happy Mistake (maybe instead of BOG), LoveDrug before or after HBDYWM, G.U.Y.  before or after Killah, Babylon after GOE and hear me out, Sine from Above after Paparazzi while she's in her stunning outfit with the cape and wind. Imagine the aura.

I'd make Shadow of a Man more interesting because I always forget it's there, maybe she needs to at least change the stage colors and vibe during it or something. The Beast is also kind of forgettable, maybe I'd replace it HML or Perfect Illusion or Dance in the Dark.

Also also, maybe a snippet of future songs... Mayhem deluxe... you know... maybe Mustang... Little Fun :ally:

Actually... yes, maybe just her verse and a chorus, fully acoustic in front of the fan

-The Manifesto of MAYHEM

-Act I: Of Velvet and Vice

Bloody Mary

Abracadabra

Judas

Scheiße

Garden of Eden (thorns, vines & black and red roses come on stage, coming out of small holes in the ground to make it look like they are "growing", some would also come down from the ceiling and hang on the stage and over the opera house prop)

Poker Face

-Act II: And She Fell Into a Gothic Dream

Perfect Celebrity (includes elements of Plastic Doll)

Disease

Paparazzi

So Happy I Could Die (orchestral/theatrical remix, shortened to first verse and chorus, this is the only TFM song she hasn't performed since TMB so i thought it would be cool to include it! plus it fits thematically)

Alejandro

The Beast

-Act III: The Beautiful Nightmare That Knows Her Name (NEW WIG AND OUTFIT, either deep purple or still blue)

Killah

Zombieboy

Disco Heaven/Just Dance/Applause (Just Dance & Applause have been given a disco remix to fit the vibe of this act more, a big sparkling brain descends from the ceiling & works as a disco ball)

LoveDrug

-Act IV: To Wake Her Is to Lose Her (NEW WIG AND OUTFIT, LONG BLACK HAIR WITH BLONDE ROOTS)

Shadow of a Man

Born This Way/Rain On Me

Blade of Grass (includes elements of Always Remember Us This Way)

I like your ideas, I'd switch the order of TEOG and VIY and have her perform a short acoustic version of Edge

So... With your ideas (the ones I liked, this is my topic after all) taken into account and what I think fits each act, here's the set list:

 

-The Manifesto of MAYHEM

 

-Act I: Of Velvet and Vice

 

Bloody Mary

Abracadabra

Judas

Scheiße

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

911/Poker Face

 

-Act II: And She Fell Into a Gothic Dream  (the common grave/ossuary is reworked somehow)

 

Perfect Celebrity

Disease

Paparazzi

Sine From Above or So Happy I Could Die (rotates each date. First verse and chorus, new soft arrangement or a capella)

Alejandro/ Don't Call tonight

The Beast

 

-Act III: The Beautiful Nightmare That Knows Her Name (no piano in this version of the act)

 

Killah

Zombieboy  (only the dancers have the skeletons, Gaga has an skeleton keytar. The skeletons are ditched for the second half of the song)

LoveDrug

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

 

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

 

Shadow of a Man/Kill for Love or Can't Stop the High (rotates the outro, more than just a snippet though)

Born This Way

Blade of Grass or ARUTW or Happy Mistake (rotates each date, shortened to first verse+ chorus+ bridge)

Die With a Smile (shortened, medley with the prior song)

Shallow

The Edge of Glory (short acoustic)

Vanish Into You

 

-Finale: Eternal Aria of the Monster Heart 

Marry the Night (shortened, maybe a capella like she used to do in the BTWB. Gaga on the hospital/morgue bed that now has her sitting, but still shrouded)

Bad Romance

 

The outfits and hair styles can also be revamped.

I liked the idea of some sgements rotating between dates, and a capella and acoustic segments are the easiest ones to change.

The set list is on the longer side, with 25 songs, but several songs are shortened. The interludes can be lengthened and new ones added to make the story more cohessive and to afford Gaga some time to rest between acts.

Okay, my take. The setlist is quite good. However I would adapt some things. 
1. Perfect Celebrity needs to be played in its full glory. But not in the sandpit, because then that section becomes to long.

2. Alejandro and the Beast is the weakest part of the show, lets replace them and add something else, maybe something from ARTPOP or Chromatica. Or MTN

3. DWAS needs to be sung in full in the piano segment. HBDUWM shouldnt start at the piano. 
 

4. the BOG vocals were rough AF. Maybe replace it with HM. 
 

5. I need an extra part in between VIY and BR. The show slows down with the piano segment and then VIY-BR and it is over. 
 

6. The story needs to be worked out more. Act 1 and 2 are okay, the first one from mistress of Mayhems perspective and then dead Gaga coming back to life. But after that the story is gone. She doesnt wanna wake up? Why does mrs of Maybem want her to? Does she find her? Who brings het back to life in the end and why?

7. The outfits are not my style, as I mentioned after Gagachella already. The opening outfit can stay, but I want it with a long black wig like the grammys. The black outfit for the second half of act 1 needs to go, it makes her look old and the silloutte is of and makes her look tiny. Same with Act 2, and just make it a long blond wig. SB/JWT style but blonde. Act 3, the black mirrors are fine, but damn that ugly textureless blue fabric needs to go. Dont know yet if the skeleton can stay. Act 4 is fine, but want shoes like the Replay boots, not really a heel but at least making her look taller. Here the short black wig with the shaved sides fits. Final outfit, again the sillouette is off. The feathers make her neck disappear, so they need to be different. And for the claws I want those she used at the end of TCB, not those fabric sausages

My hot take is that she can leave the Pink Albums behind on the set list sorry ARTPOP/Joanne/Chromatica stans but anything from TF/M/BTW, and even Harlequin is fine :tony:

Uh Red Wine... Convict... Gah Gah...

I wish instead of the 5 minute silence before Bad romance she'd do something like the end of TCB special and preview a snippet of a new song from lg8 or mayhem deluxe:derpga:  

and then the synth harpsichord from the mv starts playing and THEN she goes OH WOAH OHHHHH

I want that trophy.

Im just curious - the last act with just one song, isnt it so weird?

 

I kinda hope she saves some of her hits for last act/encore. Like, why not add Just Dance, Telephone, TEOG or/and Applause to end the show for example
