the popsicle project: 132 katy perry in wonderland

source - nzherald.co.nz

It was a little kid's birthday party mixed with Alice in Wonderland - an insane stage production which appealed to all senses - yes, the air was cotton candy scented!! The minxy as theatre curtain rose, and the crowd was treated. At least 20 brilliant costume changes - the most magical of which happened in Hot and Cold where Katy would literally step into a tube or behind a box and walk out the other side in a totally different costume within 3 seconds - there were around 10 + changes in this song alone! The set was a giant candy land stage - giant lollipops and candy canes, colourful dancers, gingerbread men, giant 1m tall cupcakes which she pretended to vomit into in Last Friday Night. There was a laser show during ET, fascinating bubbles which came on during Pearl which amazingly popped into little puffs of smoke (!!??), trapezium acrobats, and a midtime game show where she performed hilarious acoustic covers including Rebecca Black's Friday... The winner was a girl (disclaimer - friend's sister's friend!) who as her prize got a kiss and a hug and a free jump off the harbour bridge with Katy which actually happened yesterday wtF!! And all throughout the show was driven by the storyline video on her big cloud screens - about Katy stuck in a dream, trying to be directed by her cat Kitty Purry to find Baker's Boy who had a yummy cupcake for her. She had even done her homework about New Zealand and tried her best to joke around with rugby and sheep. Let's face it - she's not the most vocally able (but she even pleasantly surprised me in this area!) but her theatrical concert was extremely hard to not enjoy. immensely.

one of my fave outfits - sequin heart shaped bodice with cotton candy tutu
