Madonna begins the first of 10 nights at the relatively intimate Wiltern instead of the sports arenas she usually plays. In a bold move, she’s primarily performing songs from her recent album, Madame X, a disparate collection of moods and styles ranging from electronica, house and hip-hop to Latin pop and traditional fado melancholia sung in three languages…
One of Madonna’s most memorable songs is without a doubt ‘Nothing Fails’, critics thought it to be a follow-up to the classic ‘Like a Prayer’ because of the fantastic use of the choir. Many fans felt it should’ve been the lead single off of American Life, but Madonna and Warner Music had different ideas. The…
For the tour behind her 14th studio album, Madame X, Madonna opted to do something completely different: an elaborate theater tour. And performing in far smaller venues than usual has naturally led to one of her most unique concert experiences ever. As Rolling Stone noted, at a September Brooklyn show she quipped from the stage, “Freedom is the…
“Are you all starting to get it?” Madonna asked from the stage, at least several times, to a fawning, screaming audience whom she treated at times more like a kindergarten classroom than who they were — a crowd of well-heeled, mostly middle-aged fans who could afford orchestra seats for her pricey Madame X tour. “Madame X is…
Madonna’s been using the word paradox to describe her adventurous 2019 studio album “Madame X” and so indeed is her current concert tour, which closed a three-night engagement at San Francisco’s Golden Gate Theatre on Tuesday. Although the show’s setting was smaller than the arenas she’s filled during her decades as the world’s biggest pop…
Express Yourself, explore and discover the depth of desires in Justify My Love. Theseus (King of Athens) is engaged Hippolyta (Queen of the Amazons) as King and Queen they live a world of duty but their secret lives as Titania and Oberon unfold in the underground night club, “The Woods.” It is as elegant as it…
After 14 albums and 11 concert tours, Madonna is still out there living her best life. The 61-year-old singer-songwriter, mother of six and ever-evolving Queen of Pop is currently out on her all-theater Madame X Tour in support of her latest album of the same title, which was released on June 14. So far, she’s released…

SAN FRANCISCO — “Who is Madame X?” Madonna asked halfway into her two-and-a-half hour show Tuesday at Golden Gate Theatre, the final concert of a three-date residency. The show was just as much a performance art piece and a revue as a music concert.…
It’s a wonder Madonna was ever able to play in vast arenas and stadiums. At the Golden Gate Theatre on Tuesday, Nov. 5, performing the final date of her three-night Madame X tour residency in San Francisco, the 61-year-old singer seemed to take note of every little distraction in the room: the light-up flower crown someone was wearing in…

Madonna, in the midst of her Madame X theater tour, continues to follow fellow trailblazer James Baldwin’s philosophy that “artists are here to disturb the peace.” In fact, the pop icon opens her 11-city extravaganza — which this writer experienced Oct. 6 at the Brooklyn Academy of Music’s Howard Gilman Opera House in New York…
