Of course knowing Madonna is over 60 we were not expecting all the pizzazz of her old shows...but this show was way to slow even though her new music is good...it just wasn’t upbeat and she should have thrown in at least two more old songs (why her fans love her) and dropped a few of the new kind of boring songs...and for being in a “small venue” and she supposedly wanted to feel the intimate feeling of a small place, well she couldn’t have been more distant from her audience...she was shut down and it felt like there was a glass wall between us and her (and we were in row 3 so we would know)....she wasn’t into it with her fans AT ALL and the weak attempt to talk to a few people in the audience went flat and felt canned...she isn’t a speaker or comedian...she should just stick to music...the show did have some artistic creativity, but boring over all...I was happy when it was over and we could go home!
