DESCRIPTION:
The show was divided into four sections: Dominatrix, Studio 54, Weimar Cabaret, and Encore. Described as "a mixture of a rock concert, a fashion show, a carnival performance, a cabaret act and a burlesque show", the show had a more complex stage than those from Madonna's previous tours: it had a runway that led from the center of the main stage to a minor stage, a revolving elevated platform in the middle of the main stage, balconies in the rear of the stage, and a giant illuminated "Girlie Show" sign above stage, among other features. The tour is estimated to have grossed over US$70 million. Two separate television specials were broadcast during the tour, one made during the Japanese leg of the tour and shown only on Japanese television; Madonna Live in Japan 1993 - The Girlie Show and an HBO special Madonna Live Down Under - The Girlie Show which was later released in 1994 by Warner Music Vision on home video.

This book showcases the show with pictures, both behind the scenes and the show itself. Throughout the book, there are captions which promote. The world's gaudiest coffee table book! OK, so Madonna's second book was less controversial then her first (I forgot the name, something that rhymes with REX?). But this follow-up is nonetheless creatively assembled and beautifully shot. Think of it as "Truth Or Dare: The Written Edition". Stunning color photographs doc. Erotica era!! Plzy33 This book (with a few live tracks) is from my favorite Madonna era- EROTICA, the era that made me a FAN! The Girlie Show is such a spectacle that once again raised the bar for concerts. A little tid bit- Dancing With The Stars judge Carrie Ann Inaba is a back up dancer for The Que
