If this “Teenage Dream” tour – which started in Europe in February and made its U.S. debut Tuesday night at the Gwinnett Center Arena – proves anything, it’s that Perry is a princess among her peers, a polished pop star who, on only her second tour, has mastered the art of spectacle.
Katy Perry Impresses at U.S. Debut of California Dreams World Tour
Perry's colorful and vibrant stage show is best described as Snow White meets Charlie & The Chocolate Factory meets Alice in Wonderland on acid.
Directed by Baz Halpin, the stage is a feast for the eye with candy props everywhere, including dancing gingerbread men, giant lollipops, tonnes of whipped cream, candy canes and plenty of other candy references. And yes, there were even machines blowing candy cotton scent into the audience to create a full-on sensory experience.
It was the perfect backdrop for Perry's candy-coated brand of pop that she packed with an adult sense of humor and plenty of wit that made it a show appropriate for all ages.
The remixes are great.
(whipped cream **** too
