The Girlie Show World Tour is the fourth tour by Madonna. It promoted her fifth studio album Erotica. A documentary about the tour titled Truth or Dare (In Bed With Madonna) was released later.
Background[]
The Girlie Show was based on her criticized album, Erotica. The show had a so-called visual theme "Circus Burlesque." The singer said it was "a mixture of a rock concert, a fashion show, a presentation of circus, a cabaret act and burlesque". She also had a complex visual style and a more introspective concept and theme most obvious and serious, showing different forms parts of the show. Madonna explored the sexual theme, as he had done in her album.
The show had a more complex than previous tours Madonna stage. She had a walkway leading to a smaller stage, several elevators, elevating platforms behind three-set, and a turntable in the middle of the main stage.
The scenery required 24 hours to be mounted and armed was directed by Madonna's brother, Christopher Ciccone.
At first, The Girlie Show was a thoughtful tour only to tour Australia and Japan, but in the process it was decided that it would cross four continents, resulting in Madonna visiting countries that had not been visited on previous tours, marking her first touring visit in Australia, South and Central America, and the Middle East.
The song "Bad Girl" was to be played during this tour, but for unknown reasons ended up being replaced by "In This Life".
It was rumored that Madonna manipulated particular concert dates in the US and Canada because this time the presentations were small compared with their previous tours; according to her admirers, that an interpretation under Erotica album sales and her book was due Sex.
