Thanks for this info. I did wonder how she managed to rehearse for the show. It certainly explains some of the hesitancy in her moves! Quote
VogueMusic Posted June 7 Posted June 7 7 hours ago, SOON said: Omg y’all should know better by now after MANY years to stop going down the rabbit holes of looking at the negative comments to just about anything online (especially social media) about Madonna and letting it spoil your enjoyment. It doesn’t matter how great she does they’re always going to hate. In fact when she does greater than usual they obviously get more desperate to tear her down. Yep. So true. Oddly enough, I was looking at a bunch of posts about the recent performance and film premiere, and you-know-who kept rearing his ugly head under every comment - that Joseph Mora guy. Man, that dude is a straight up psychopath…for someone who supposedly hates her so much, he can’t shut up about her. He follows her every move. And the man writes literal essays every time he posts. Essays! He even supposedly attended the film premiere, and then wrote some vague review shading the whole thing. Like, does anyone know what this guy looks like…did anyone see him there? Why does nobody clock his ass? Quote

Mr Ciccone Posted June 9 Posted June 9 https://www.iqmagazine.com/2026/06/built-for-a-digital-world-nycs-the-square-opens-with-madonna/ ‘Built for a digital world’: NYC’s The Square opens with Madonna Hidden behind an 18,000 sqft, 8K LED electronic billboard sits New York's newest performance space, which formally opened last week The Square has opened in New York City’s Times Square, offering a new performance platform “built for a digital world” that offers acts 15 minutes in one of the city’s most iconic landmarks. Madonna launched the high-tech venue’s official rollout with a surprise performance last week (4 June), in partnership with LGBTQ+ community app Grindr, with the show also livestreamed to users on the platform. Hidden behind an 18,000 sqft, 8K LED electronic billboard, The Stage is unfurled when the billboard’s doors are retracted to reveal the landmark space, designed to bridge in-person performance and online shareability and scale. Acts are allotted up to 15 minutes for the performances, which can’t be announced more than 30 minutes in advance to prevent an influx of crowds to a destination that already sees upwards of 300,000 people daily. “The Square represents a fundamental shift in how experiences are conceived, created, and distributed,” says Jeff Marks, founder/CEO of Innovative Partnerships Group, a company involved in the venue’s creation. “We’re not just building a live venue – we’re creating a dynamic platform for culture, content, commerce, and brand storytelling. From live events and entertainment to media activations, broadcasts, partnerships, and immersive experiences, The Square is designed to connect audiences in real time and extend far beyond the physical space itself.” The main stage, previously called TSX, was initially launched in July 2023 with a surprise concert from Post Malone, with other acts taking to the stage including Charli xcx, Shakira, Snoop Dogg, Jung Kook, and Ice Spice. But Madonna’s show marked the venue’s next chapter as part of a wider entertainment package. Behind the billboard sits 10 floors of breakout spaces offering acts and their teams options to host VIP experiences, brand activations, event rentals, film/TV shoots, and speaking engagements in the accompanying building, with on-site hotel options also available. While concerts on the breakout stage are capped for time, acts can also host more intimate shows inside, which fans outside will be able to stream audio from by scanning a QR code on the external billboard via the in-house system, Square Stream. Artists can also broadcast messages and communicate to the masses through the billboard. “It was built for curators, content creators, influencers to create cultural moments. Square was built for a digital world,” Marks told Billboard. The Square is slated to host up to 12 large events annually, offering a contemporary opportunity for artists to both perform and promote by blending the lines between shows, streaming, and branded storytelling.
