Lady GaGa

Went to Lady GaGa last Tuesday, she was fantastic of course. I took my daughter (14) and her friend as her birthday present and they loved it, totally worth the dosh
The set and costume changes were, as expected, incredibly elaborate. I totally appreciate the artistry and the concept of us all on this journey to find the "Monster Ball" but I'm not sure if the complexity of the sets and wardrobe were worth it in the end..... Because both elements were so "heavy" they essentially stopped the show about 3 or 4 times for set and costume changes. The curtain would come down which was also a large screen that had projections of her posing, etc. canned music would come on and you would wait like 3min. each time. Not a big deal really, and it was all totally amazing, but I think she could be amazing with less "stuff" and no drop in momentum. And to be totally honest, where we were sitting stage left, quite a few of the larger props and set pieces actually interfered with sight lines. Oh well, if you've seen one bleeding statue, you've seen them all, right?

Here are some photos of our exciting evening with the Queen of Freak. I am in the pink wig, my daughter is in the red and her friend is in her lovely natural look.
Also a couple pics of the amazing people who got into full regalia....I love it!
