I'd read a few reviews over the last few weeks, both positive and negative from her stint in London and Manchester and choose to keep an open mind.i went to "The Show" on Friday 19th June and thought the production part was brilliant, from the circus entertainers at the begging to the raining of sparks at the end.
On Britney's performance though ... if you took away the stage, dancers, and pyrotechnic production, then her performance as a solo artist wasn't so good. it was like a conveyer belt, as though she was just going through the motions, there was no interaction with the audience (unless you count 2 shouts of "Dublin" ~ thankfully she got that right unlike Manchester when she shouted
"London") and of course the miming ... which was made even more obvious by the fact there was no band.
Was it worth the €130.00 i paid for a ticket ... for the a show yes, for a concert ... No
