This is our review of Into The Groove – The Ultimate Tribute To Madonna at Liverpool‘s Empire Theatre. Madonna is one of the most colourful, dynamic and memorable musical personalities of our time. She has evolved with the times, updating her wardrobe, her vocal style, her interaction with fans via the rise of social media and other aspects of her career, but one thing which has always remained constant is her charisma, not to mention her talent or owning the stage. These qualities have made her the Madonna that fans know and love for decades, and her legacy will live forever.
Into The Groove – The Ultimate Tribute To Madonna
All of this ensures that any show paying homage to Madonna will be something to savour, and so it proved when Into The Groove rolled into Liverpool’s Empire Theatre. Elly Jermain has become well-established as the leading Madonna tribute performer, making her the ideal lady to lead the way for a production such as this. Indeed, she is at the forefront of everything that happens in front of our very eyes, and the upshot is that the show lives up to its billing as being The Ultimate Tribute To Madonna.
Description Of Into The Groove
Elly delivers the goods as a vocalist. But she also brings the exact personality traits that adoring Madonna fans would expect. What’s more, her dance moves are also eye-catching, proving that Jermain is hardly in this position for her singing alone. And then there is Madonna’s famous wardrobe since her fashion choices have become a part of who Madonna is and what she is all about. As a result, the crowd gets to see Madonna in multiple attires, which cover various periods of her career, from the younger, more innocent clothing to the sexier and seductive costumes that were successful in establishing Madonna as both a controversial figure and a sex symbol for male fans.
As for the songs themselves: all of the hits that you would expect are here. And again they span her entire back catalogue. These include Like A Prayer (perhaps her most famous tune of all) and Like A Virgin. Furthermore, we hear Papa Don’t Preach and Vogue, along with more recent songs such as Music and Hung Up.
Analysis Of Into The Groove
One of the things which stands out about a show like this, where the subject is a performer with such a long career, is how there are fans of all ages who will have grown up on different eras and with different hits as their personal favourites. Some will have followed Madonna from the very beginning, a large number will have hopped on board along the way, and younger attendees will have fondly reminisced about her songs from the early 2000s onwards. The result is that there is something for everyone, and with some surprises thrown in, there are also some unexpected treats.
There is a feeling with this show that it is more than just a basic run-through of Madonna’s biggest tunes. Indeed, it really does feel like it has been designed specifically for her most ardent fans. It’s for supporters who are coming along to quite literally see the next best thing to Madonna herself. Entertainers, the team behind this production, noted how they conducted thorough research. This was to put together a show that was created “by Madonna fans, for Madonna fans”. Well, I’ve witnessed this live, and I’ve seen how enthusiastic the audience were from beginning to end. And I would definitely say that they have succeeded in achieving their goals.
