The audience is taken on a rock driven dance tastic journey that's broken into four sections: Pimp A mashed up homage to 1920's deco and modern day gangsta pimp. Madonna makes a grand entrance dressed by Givenchy. Old School Madonna tips her hat to her early 80's downtown New York City dance roots with flashes of Keith Haring and the dance culture vibe of the time including the birth of rap. Gypsy A VIP trip to La Isla Bonita infused by the spirit of Romanian folk music and dance. A tour de force. Rave Far eastern influences emerge all sparkly and sporty. 'Sticky & Sweet' kicks off this Saturday August 23rd at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium. The tour hits London's Wembley Stadium September 11th.
