Louisville goes Gaga over Lady Gaga and the “The Monster Ball Tour”

Lady Gaga

Saturday evening the KFC Yum Center

Lady Gaga

hosted Lady Gaga’s “The Monster Ball Tour”. The elaborate production thrilled its  diverse audience who dressed for the event in everything from glam outfits to bubble wrap dresses. Many of the sold out crowd wore face paint and dressed in Gaga style for the show.

Lady Gaga played nearly two hours changing outfits and stage sets frequently throughout the performance. She interacted with her fans during and between songs expressing her opinions on diversity, sex, bullying while always encouraging them to get out of your seats and dance.

The tight photography restrictions which limited photographers to only songs six, “Fame” and seven, Love Game”. We were required to stay with our guide and not allowed to watch the first portion of the show until we finished with the photography.

I did watch the remainder of the performance, Lady Gaga has musical talent and a great cast of dancers and musicians. The stage effects and costume changes were a mix of Glam, Mardi Gras, Strip Club and Broadway production all combined.

It was a celebration party, lead by the new Pop Queen who repeatedly told her fans

” Everyone is different, you have to make the best of it and wear your mask with pride”

At least for this night, most fans did.
