Bleachers Red Bank reviews
Five stars!
Madonna was on for 2 hours and 15 minutes which is much longer than any other concerts I've seen live. Tickets were very clear about the opening act starting at 8 and Madonna was to start at 9. She started about 10pm so it wasn't too bad. After seeing this show, I only have positive things to say about her. It seems like Madonna gets such a bad rap sometimes and I'm not sure why. Madonna was definitely worth the wait. She did start a bit late. She did a nice mix of new and old songs. Her voice, dancing, visuals, supporting crew and overall show was amazing. She also interacted a lot with the audience which was great and she has such a good sense of humor. I will absolutely be seeing her again!
