Madonna Louise Ciccone,born August 16, 1958 has undoubtedly established herself as the undisputed queen of pop. An innovator and risk taker, this double disc broadcast collection is essentially a greatest hits live that showcases her chameleon like talent.
From her 1983 breakout hit Lucky Star to the groundbreaking Erotica. Madonna is a carefully choreographed 'material girl' with sophistication. A master of reinvention who has adopted the trappings of class, taste and a very mature sex appeal.
This collection covers a decade of hits from 1984 to 1993 from the risque Like A Virgin to the Disneyesque Hanky Panky, she confidently performs hit after hit. Madonna always knows how to express herself!
From dance hits to ballads, Madonna takes it all within her stride, trouncing many taboos and broaching many boundaries, she is seemingly oblivious to the self-appointed arbitrators of decency and decorum. This global superstar and post-modern feminist is truly a cultural icon. So Hurry! Hurry! Right this way! Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, the show is about to begin!
