European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - July 10, 1987, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Magazine the Many faces of by Deborah Wilker Cox news services Here s something about h stadium Concemi Hal can make even the biggest Slars seem very very Small. Take Madonna Lor example she sings and dances up a storm she toys with the band and schmooze with the front Row but of you re in the cheap seals you might As Well be in Toledo imagine barbra Streisand in the Orange bowl. Sure it would be great to Sec her Al close Range but it would t really Mailer if you could t. Her voice would ill the night air and Hal would be enough. The same is True of Bruce Spryn Sleen s music but few others. Even Mega stars like Prince and Michael Jackson can Gat fool in a crowd thiere i a moral to this Story. Just because an act can draw a stadium sized audience does t mean it should happen Wilh Madonna image supersedes everything least important is whether or nol she can be heard. The real treat is in the watching. And that s something Only 2,000 or so lans can do to a place the size of Miami s Orange bowl. White most concert hours Are mounted in random so t colourful Brassy end Bawdy spun Tor Madonna Lour Europe this summer. With a new album Madonna s who s that girl Lour which opened in Miami june 27 before 60,000 fans has arrived just in time to launch her new film it s a colourful Brassy Bawdy show choreographed with he Star s mtg image in mind. But in belongs in a theater or. Better yet a Las vegas showroom. Put it in a bigger Hall and Madonna s movie Star Appeal is completely lost. That s a shame considering How hard she works. She d an accomplished dancer songwriter actress and Singer who most of All is a dynamic stylist. She s got an almost Rabid Energy about her which she maintains Lor he duration of 90 minutes. In lad she rarely leaves the stage preferring to change costumes inside a phone Booth instead. Boy can she change. One minute she s a teen Ager in a 50s party dress the next she s playing a speakeasy Chanlo Uso she even sends up one time rival Cyndi Lauper with a campy Pink Carmen Luanda get up which she wears for two of her biggest hits malarial girl Ami like a Virgin. In fact. Madonna has procured so Many images lately the Wanna be s As her teen fans Call themselves did l know which Madonna they wanted to be.

It s almost difficult to believe that a career As Young As Madonna s three years could contain so much popular material thai on stage tha Star can barely Gol to half of it. She rifles through 14 of her songs 11 of them hits with Only one Detour Lor a cover of the four tops can 7 help myself. But forget the hits. Hers is a woman who will probably sell More lingerie than records this summer. Now if Only there was a Way to fit her legion of fans into a room where All these theatrics could be appreciated. The alternative is for Madonna to play consecutive dates in smaller houses but the Energy required for this show can t be harnessed daily. More to the Point would you work for six nights if you could make the same amount of Money in one shot did l to link so she could restructure her act to concentrate More on her voice but then she would t be Madonna.
