Early reviews laud a five‑act, 30‑plus‑song production that fuses new Mayhem material with career hits under lavish pop‑opera staging.

Overview

  • Opening night delivered roughly 30–32 songs across five acts, interweaving Mayhem tracks such as Abracadabra and Disease with staples including Poker Face and Bad Romance.
  • Emma Myers and Evie Templeton appeared for The Dead Dance and LoveDrug, tying into the newly released single with a Tim Burton–directed video.
  • Critics from The Times, the i, the Guardian and others praised the scale, choreography and emotional piano segment, while noting Gaga’s late onstage arrival.
