The full dress rehearsal of Madonna’s “Confessions Tour” show will take place today, Saturday May 13 in Los Angeles.

This is just another one of the great tour teaser information contained in the two articles about the renewed collaboration between the Queen of Pop and the genious and talent of French designer Jean Paul Gaultier that appeared yesterday on “Libération”.

The 400 costumes produced for Madonna, her dancers and her band have been shipped to L.A. last Thursday, and they have been entirely created at the Gaultier maison with the exception of some of the “equestrian” costumes that have been produced by Hermès, where Gaultier is responsible of the design of the female collection.

The rehearsals taking place over the weekend will be entirely filmed to let the team double check if everything goes on smoothly. During one of the rehearsals, one of the coreographers is going to trade places with Madonna on stage, to let her able to have a final look at the show from the audience’s point of view.
