Interesting Facts:

Tour was scheduled to open at Japan's Korakuen Stadium but was cancelled because of a mini-tyhoon that brought torrential
] rains and gale-force winds to the town.

In Japan, a thousand troops had to restrain 25,000 fans seeking to greet Madonna at the airport.
In just 18 hours, 144,000 tickets were sold for two shows at Wembley Stadium.
Madonna performed in eighteen cities on two continents performing for 2 million fans. She earned roughly $500,000 per show.
The elaborate stage sets travelled in twenty-three trucks and required both a 747 and a DC-7 to be flown from Japan to Miami
] for the US kick-off. Setting up the stage took three days with a fifty-person tech crew.

The proceeds from the July 13 Madison Square Gardens concert were given to the American Foundation for Aids Research (AMFAR).

Luis Conte - Percussion
Donna De Lory, Niki Haris - Background Vocals
Luis Camacho, Oliver Crumes, Slam, Jose Gutierez, Kevin Stea, Gabriel Trupin, CarltonWilborn - Dancers

Opening Act: Technotronic

Tour Opened: April 13 at Marine Stadium, Makuhari [Japan]

Tour Ended: August 5 in Nice, France

Costumes: Jean-Paul Gautier

Interesting Facts:

Blond Ambition was the first mega tour of the nineties. It hit 27 cities over four months and sold out in every city, except Italy,for boycot
] where for weeks prior to the shows, the Pope had called for a boycott, resulting in the cancellation of one of the two shows planned.

18 trucks were used to get the 80x70-foot stage around. Over a hundred crew members spent two full days assembling the monstrous
]stage for every show.

Choreographer Vincent Patterson recalls that Madonna wanted to "break every rule we can ... She wanted to make statements about sexuality
], cross sexuality, the church ... But the biggest thing we tried to do is change the shape of concerts. Instead of just presenting songs,
] we wanted to combine fashion, Broadway,
]rock and the performance arts." And in the words of author, and good friend Matthew Rettenmund, "They succeeded".

Pioneer Electronics sponsored the tour (Pepsi withdrew sponsorship after the "Like A Prayer" incident). It sponsored in exchange for rights to an
]exclusive laserdisc of the show, plus additional footage, Madonna promised not to release a competing video version for at least one year. However, since
] a video version in
] 1991 would compete with the May 1991 film, Truth or Dare, all plans were cancelled.

Maclean's said the show "unfolds like a kaleidoscope of sexual decadence. The references range from Berlin cabarets to New York leather bars."
Rollingstone called it "a nifty summation of the spectacle that is Madonna."
Because of costly problems to Madonna's voice, four shows were cancelled (Chicago; Worcester, Massachusetts; Philadelphia, and a New York show
] in the Brendan Byrne Arena).

Proceeds from the final New York show were donated to AMFAR totalling $300,000.
In Toronto, the police received complaints that the show was lewd, and they threatened to charge Madonna if she did not agree
] to alter the masturbation scene during Like A Virgin. She refused to make the changes, yet no charges were made.

HBO filmed and telecasted the final Blond Ambition show from Nice, France. It became the then highest rating concert event in HBO history.

Niki Haris, Donna De Lory - Background Vocals
Ungela Brockman, Christopher Childers, Michael Gregory, Carrie Ann Inaba, Jill Nicklaus, Ruth Inchaustegui, Luca Tommassini, Carlton, Wilborn - Dancers

Opening Acts: UNV (some USA venues), Yonca Evcimik and Kenan Dogulu (Istanbul), and Peter Andre (Australia)

Tour Started: September 25, 1993 - Wembley Stadium, London

Tour Ended: December 19, 1993 - Tokyo Dome, Tokyo, Japan

Costumes by: Dolce and Gabbana

Interesting Facts:

Some venues forbade toplessness, so Carrie Inaba had to wear a halter top to conceal her assets.
In Toronto Madonna held up traffic when she jogged through the streets.
Orthodox Jews staged protests to cancel Madonna's first-ever show in Israel.
In Puerto Rico, an uproar was caused when Madonna rubbed the Puerto Rican flag between her legs on stage.
Caught by reporters at the birthplace of Christ in Jerusalem, Madonna called them "sons of whores" and hurled other vicious slurs in Hebrew
] and Arabic, then dodged a meeting with Mayor Teddy Koleck.

The Girlie Show required 1500 costumes for the cast, and a 24-hour set up time for the enormous stage.

Review:

"Why does the rhetoric of fiaso and decline hover over the production like a vulture? Forget the naysayers - the wise thing to do is try to get tickets. Madonna
] may have failed at other things, but her stage performance - her fluent and daring dancers imagination, her genius for iconographic playfulness,
] her libertine expansiveness - is a wonder of our times." - The New Yorker.

Interesting Facts

Madonna's first time on the road in 8 years.
Tour hit only Europe and America.
Tour was to start in Cologne, Germany on June 5. First German dates were cancelled "due to technical difficulties."
In protest of the cancelled German shows, some fans vowed to throw their Madonna CDs in the garbage.
A 26-year-old Frankfurt fan won a free concert ticket to a Berlin show in exchange for
sex with a reporter for a German online magazine.

Celebrities wanting to see the concert had to pay for their own tickets. No freebies.
Shireen Ritchie, Guy Ritchie's mother, reported that she and her family were "wowed out of our skins," after seeing their daughter-in-law perform.
When the tour hit America, Madonna changed her costume, as well as replaced "Gone" with a stunning performance of "You'll See". Never in Madonna's
]career has she changed her song line-up.

Madonna performed "You'll See" (instead of Gone) in Philly, New York City, Boston, Atlanta, and Miami.
She performed "Gone" in Washington DC, New Jersey, Los Angeles, Oakland, Vegas, Detroit, and Chicago.
The second show in New Jersey for August 3rd was canceled because of throat problems.
The September 11th show in Los Angeles was delayed because of the terrorist attacks on America. When Madonna took the stage to complete the last
] three shows she
wore an American flag skirt. She also turned down the violence in the show including the removal of the shooting of another character
]" and also removing the gory"Oh Dear Daddy" from the performances.

Profits from the final three shows in Los Angeles were donated to the children of the victims of the attacks.

the show.

Ticket prices range from $65 to $930 US.
Madonna had to cancel three shows planned in Israel because
of threats to harm her and her children. The official word is
that Madonna canceled the shows because she wanted to focus on
touring Europe, but nothing would stop her from touring Tel Aviv
except such threats.

Niki Harris is not joining Madonna on this tour. Harris says
she's not touring because she wants to stay home with her
children. Previously Niki was backup for Madonna on the Who's
That Girl, Blond Ambition, Girlie Show and Drowned World Tours.
