Madonna acaba de publicar los créditos de su ‘Madame X Tour’ y viene cargadito de sorpresas para los más fans ya que revela algunos detalles realmente interesantes. Lo más impactante es que Madonna por primera vez en su carrera es la propia directora de su gira. Siempre había aparecido como «creadora» pero nunca como directora directamente. Ahora es ella la mandamasa absoluta y relega a Jamie King a ‘Creative Producer’.
Megan Lawson, que se encargó de la coreografía de Eurovisión (y que está casada con un ex bailarín de Madonna) figura como ‘Co-Director’ y ‘Lead Coreographer’. Damien Jalet, responsable de ‘Anima’ de Thom Yorke es ‘Creative Advisor’. Kevin Antunes repite como director musical (desde el ‘Sticky & Sweet’) y Monte Pittman se convierte en uno de sus colaboradores más longevos: lleva tocando la guitarra para Madonna desde el año 2001 con la gira promocional de ‘Music’ y el ‘Drowned World Tour’.
La parte más jugosa de los créditos llega con el ‘Management’. Guy Oseary figura como ‘Manager’ pero también ‘Sara Zambreno’, que siempre había figurado como asistente de Guy. ¿Es esto una transición hacia el ‘management’ individual de Sara Zambreno? Pues tiene toda la pinta. Guy Oseary está demasiado acomodado haciendo giras aniversario con U2 como para preferir estar con Madonna que ha decidido hacer una gira que facturará bastante menos (aunque en término de rentabilidad parece que va a ser todo un éxito).
La única sorpresa negativa de los créditos es ver el nombre de la persona que ha diseñado el ‘tour book’. Tras ver su Instagram parece alguien que crea ‘merchandising’ a granel para todos los artistas de Live Nation y solo hay que ver lo que parece que será la portada del ‘Tour Book’ para darse cuenta de que no se ha calentado mucho la cabeza. ¿Giovanni Bianco, dónde estás?
