Madonna’s Madame X Documentary Set For UK Debut

Madonna followers have been urged to save the date of the screening for her Madame X documentary released today, October 8th. The singer’s Madame X tour was scheduled for 12 dates in the UK at the London Palladium in February 2020. Madonna’s tours are known for being a musical extravaganza and her Madame X Tour is no different. The tour is the musician’s eleventh concert tour from her fourteenth studio album Madame X released on June 14th 2019.

Madonna Louise Ciccone, known as Madonna and dubbed the Queen of Pop, is an Italian-American singer, songwriter, dancer, actress and mother. The singer came to the attention of the music world with her self entitled debut album Madonna in 1983 and is known for her earlier popular hit singles “Lucky Star” (1983), “Holiday” (1983), “Material Girl” (1984), “Like A Virgin” (1984) and “Into The Groove” (1984) to name only a few.

The musician has sold over 300 million albums worldwide, has the most UK number-one singles for a female artist and is noted for being the best selling female recording artist of all time in the Guinness Book of Records. The singer’s Madame X tour was an all theatre tour, that ran for 75 dates from September 17th 2019 to March 8th 2020. The tour saw the musician perform in smaller venues for the first time since The Virgin Tour in 1985.

The musician explained during an interview with BBC News that her reasons for opting to perform in smaller venues, were due to her doing so many large scale tours and now wanting to connect directly with her audience. The singer’s tour was unfortunately plagued by an ongoing knee injury which features in the documentary and resulted in cancellations of tour dates to support her recovery. The tour ended three days earlier than planned due to the Covid 19 Pandemic on March 8th 2020. The Madame X documentary was directed by Ricardo Gomes and was filmed in Lisbon (Portugal).

The documentary details the singer’s life on the road during her tour and shows the singers alter ego, Madame X who dons an eye-patch. The musician said of her documentary “There was nothing between me and the crowd, and that was an incredible experience,” “I needed to document that — the process, the rehearsals, the show itself, what was in my mind, what inspires certain songs” The singer’s children feature in the documentary which showcases her performances with 48 dancers and an all-female Orquestra Batukadeiras.

The musician recently forged a partnership with Warner Music Group in August thus following in the footsteps of other musical artists. The partnership encompasses 17 studio albums including the singer’s recent albums “MDNA”, “Rebel Heart” and “Madame X”.

The musician’s Madame X Tour was named the highest-grossing theatre tour of all time and she has had a 40-year relationship with MTV following her early musical career success. The relationship was celebrated in September with this tweet. 

The singer’s Madame X documentary in association with Paramount + will be shown tonight, October 8th at 10.00 pm on MTV UK ending the wait for the musician’s followers.
