High budget production props up Perry's lack of commanding stage presence
From acrobats, sparkly cat costumes, fire-wielding guitars, inflatable bottles of champagne and an on-stage travelator, Katy Perry’s Prismatic World Tour is a feat of a production.
It is as camp and kitsch as to be expected from a pop star who cast her image wearing blue wigs and sucking lollipops.
Yet for all Perry’s astounding costumes and fun acrobatic displays, her presence on stage fails to take flight.
She begins sounding flat on first song “Roar”, and her voice lacks the depth and power to carry the show alone without the help of a high budget production.
