The tour was very successful commercially, and in early December 1999 an announcement was made that 20 extra dates were being added in North America. [1] At the time it was her high-grossing tour ever, although it would later be eclipsed by her marathon 2002-2005 Living Proof: The Farewell Tour.

The show

As might be expected, Cher appeared in a variety of costumes during the performance. Her opening outfit, a spectacularly hideous affair involving a stringed skirt, meshed top over a cross, and a huge red wig, was dubbed GAUDY by her as the "Bozo the Clown-meets-Braveheart look". [2] All in all there were 7 to 9 different ensembles, depending upon how one does the counting, with none lasting more than a handful of songs. Pinto Colvig, the original Bozo the Clown (circa 1948) Bozo the Clown (also known as Bozo), is the name of a clown whose widespread franchising in early television made him the best-known clown character in the United States. ... Braveheart (1995) is a historical action/drama movie produced and directed by Mel Gibson, who also starred in the title role. ...

Reviews of the show were often favorable, given Cher's return to popularity and over-the-top appeal. The New York Times said Cher had "a quintessential rock voice ... spectacularly styled with a rough and tumble vaudevillian edge." The Washington Post viewed it as "a dynamic, over-the-top extravaganza." The Dallas Morning News said "her concert was entertaining and gleefully glitzy." [3] The New York Times is a daily newspaper published in New York City by Arthur Ochs Sulzberger Jr. ... The Washington Post is the largest newspaper in Washington, D.C.. It is also one of the citys oldest papers, having been founded in 1877. ... The Dallas Morning News is the major daily newspaper serving the Dallas, Texas area. ...
