The Madonna Celebration Tour is going to be ‘documentary-style’.
The 65-year-old star will be embarking on her first ever Greatest Hits tour and Stuart Price – her musical director – has revealed it will draw on four decades of archival footage and recordings to tell the story of Madonna’s record-setting career.
He told the BBC: “A greatest hit doesn’t have to be a song. It can be a wardrobe, it can be a video or a statement”.
After suffering a serious bacterial infection earlier this year, Madonna has returned to full health.
During The Celebration Tour, Stuart has promised the chart-topping icon will deliver a show to remember.
He shared: “Madonna has very high expectations of how much hard work people put into something. She’s very uncompromising – but she’s just as hard on herself.
“So when she took a break, that break created an opportunity to improve the show. And I’m sure the opportunity [for her] to focus on being 100 percent was very well received as well.
Stuart admitted that the show can vary “on a nightly basis.
However, the musical director insisted that Madonna’s “strong” personality will always shine through in all of her performances.
Stuart explained his excitement for the landmark tour: “Madonna has a reputation for being very precise and very rehearsed in every department. When you look at a tour of this scale, it has so many moving parts, so many elements, that everything has to be highly fixed.
“But there is one thing that is always dynamic, and that is Madonna herself. Her personality is so strong, her interaction with the audience is so strong, that it creates opportunities for variation from night to night.”
