Yes, Madonna is coming to town!
I am a little surprised. Even though we're one of the biggest metro areas in the country, last night I wondered if she had ever been to Phoenix. And the answer is yes... 21 years ago! Now that makes me feel old... it was way back during her Like A Virgin tour... so that even pre-dates my tenure in the Valley.
So, I am sure you may surmise, I have never seen Madonna in concert!
I know shocking! Celine, Bette (twice!), Cher (thrice!), Dolly, Reba... so Madonna seems like it would be a much-needed hole punch on the gay card (and Barbra is threatening another farewell tour, oy!).
But old age is kicking in too... the concert is on June 8th, a Thursday (ugh!) night... it is at the arena out in boonies (for us)... and tickets (going on sale Monday) are $60-$355 (+ countless surcharges).
The North American stops are: LA, Vegas, San Jose, Fresno, Phoenix, Chicago, Montreal, Hartford, NYC, Boston, Philadelphia, Atlantic City and Miami.
When did she become "Madge" anyway? Doesn't anyon else find that name ridiculously unflattering? I always wonder why the lady from the Palmolive commercials (or was it Bounty?) is going on a stadium tour.
