THE Kimono. A last minute creative change by Madonna, 12 days before the first show needed a new opening costume. Mix in 3 company moves in less than a week across 2 countries & 3 cities: NYC, Manchester & London. 6 converted hotel suites, a color change halfway through and one O2 Ballroom later 🪄 ✨
Overflowing gratitude to my steadfast, genius, forever understanding and patient team: Olga, Marianna, Laura, Anthony & Lacey (my sanity 🙏🏻❤️), Jin, Lena, Olena, Anna, Tuviya and Alejandra. And Cindy in spirit. Every minute was an honor.
