Madonna's "Madame X Tour" is getting glowing reviews
https://instagram.com/p/B2izLcaBDRZ
The press was finally invited on a third night of Madonna's "Madame X" show in Brooklyn and reviews are finally in. Since people are not allowed to take any pictures or videos (it's very very strict) at the venue there wasn't even a single Madonna picture from the first two shows, but now that press was there - they were allowed to take a few pictures, no more than that.
Madonna is playing small venues this time around, she's no stranger to trying something new and flipping things around. She's set to perform first 17 shows in Brooklyn's Academy of Music’s Howard Gilman Opera House (capacity is a bit over 2000 people) then she'll be moving on to another big cities and in 2020 she'll hit her new intimate show in Europe as well.
Concert Review: @Madonna’s ‘Madame X’ Is a Political Spectacle and a Test of Fans’ Indulgence https://t.co/eTEhf39Vpj

As she never really lets you forget, Madonna is calling the shots with “Madame X,” this show and plenty else besides. And for her, that means attempting to use her privilege and power to enact change while still owning her artistry, even if it is inexplicable at times.
Madame X is a more authentic version of @Madonna than we’ve seen on stage in some time https://t.co/pJT2izGInh

The Madame X persona might be a spy, a teacher, a saint, a whore, a cha cha instructor and a mother, but she’s also something not listed in the album lines notes - she’s a more authentic version of Madonna Veronica Louise Ciccone than we’ve seen on stage in some time.

Madonna has never shied away from taking chances. Thirty years after she set fire to the Eighties with the disco basilica Like a Prayer, she’s as gloriously weird as ever. Hence her excellent new Madame X tour, a testament to the genius in her madness. Instead of a full-blown tour, she’s doing these shows as residencies in intimate venues, starting with 17 nights at the Brooklyn Academy of Music’s Howard Gilman Opera House. The tiny rooms are the perfect place for Our Lady to strut her stuff. Like her Madame X album, the show is messy, but anyone who’s scared of a mess should avoid Ms. Ciccone entirely, because as any fan knows, her weirdness is where she finds her greatness.

The show is hardly without flaws: her political messaging, though heartfelt, is often clumsily on the nose, and several set projections leaned toward the community-theater end of things. But in moments like these, when the construct of Madame X disappeared, what remained was something simpler and somehow much more satisfying than the equestrian or the cha-cha instructor or the saint (or even the mother, the magpie, the erstwhile standup comedian): Not just a pop star and perennial provocateur, but an artist in full.
Review: "As both album and show, 'Madame X' is Madonna’s latest declaration of a defiant, self-assured, flexible identity that’s entirely comfortable with dualities," writes @jonpareles https://t.co/RU7l8Az5cs

Her Madame X show reimagines pop spectacle for a theater stage, merging her newest music and calls for political awareness with striking intimacy.

Madonna is still the “Queen of Pop” and shows no signs of relinquishing that throne anytime soon. She is a true visionary, whose music and artistry gets bigger and better each year.
The BAM Howard Gilman Opera House was a warm, intimate and beautiful venue for a concert of this caliber. Her live show garnered an A rating.
