The water element will not be a part of the U.S. staging as the U.S. leg plays in smaller venues and will be a more intimate production than the arena shows in Europe. The show still promises to be a spectacle and will be grand and fabulous as all Kylie shows are. The North American dates will have their own special staging and surprises. It just isn't physically possible to bring the European stage into the U.S. venues in its whole and some of the production will be traveling to Australia while the tour is in North America. We just don't want people to buy tickets expecting the exact same production here and then be let down." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 i'm so excited for you! a Kylie show is something else... it's what made me a fan It's crazy, I only just became a fan a few months ago. Unfortunately the show will probably have to be scaled down in order to fit the venue... I don't think the arena in Ft. Lauderdale will be able to accomodate the above specifications.

KlaSh-E Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 it will indeed be scaled down... but to be honest... A kylie intimate show is the absolute best.. i'm dying to see one of those again, plus it will be a high tech adventure...no way it's gonna be low budget From Kylie's camp: "It should be noted the U.S. leg will be a little different than the European leg.
