Vorlage:Infobox concert tour

The Wonder World Tour was a concert tour by American recording artist Miley Cyrus. It was her second tour and first to be worldwide and not include her fictional alter ego Hannah Montana.

Miley Cyrus: Presented by Wal-Mart and promoted by AEG Live, the tour took place in the United States and the United Kingdom. The set list had material from her debut album Meet Miley Cyrus, sophomore album Breakout, soundtrack to Hannah Montana: The Movie and the extended play The Time of Our Lives. Venues were mostly arenas. Cyrus' vision of the tour was more "wild" and "crazy" than the Best of Both Worlds Tour. She wanted to have a more mature tour that was still accessible to all audiences.

Following its September kick off, the tour earned over $45.2 million at the box office with a total of 45 shows reported by AEG Live, the tour promoter.[1]

The full length concert film will be featured on a CD/DVD Edition of Cyrus' third studio album Can't Be Tamed set to be released June 22, 2010.[2]

Background

On June 3, 2009 the tour was officially announced through various outlets including Cyrus' official Twitter page, Wal-Mart, AEG Live, and her official fan club MileyWorld. At first the tour was only to extend throughout the United States.[3][4][5][6][7][8] Several more dates were announced on June 5, including concerts in the United Kingdom. In order to avoid the ticket controversy and scalping that occurred during the Best of Both Worlds Tour, Ticketmaster used Cyrus's tour to experiment with a method of ticket sales, which was first tested by AC/DC in their Black Ice World Tour.[9] According to a press release, all tickets were to be sold exclusively through paperless ticket delivery which means fans did not receive a physical concert ticket for their entry into the event.[3][5][9] Ticket buyers were required to bring the credit card used to make the purchase and a photo ID to the concert venue in order to gain entry.[3][5][9] All groups were to enter the concert together, and ushers issue "seat locator slips."[3][5][9][10][11] One dollar of each ticket from the tour went to benefit the City of Hope Foundation, which helps in fighting against cancer.[12]

Cyrus returned to Los Angeles, California to rehearse for the tour in mid-August, after she completed filming The Last Song.[13] While calling in to Ryan Seacrest's radio show, On Air with Ryan Seacrest, Cyrus revealed that due to filming she was only able to rehearse for three weeks although the average rehearsal period for such a tour is about three months.[13] In an interview with MTV News, she explained that due to time constraints, there would be no guest appearances from other recording artists during the tour.[14]


Theme and styles

Vorlage:Quote box

Some of the tour's clothing was sponsored by Cyrus's and Max Azria's joint apparel line.[15][16] Via her Twitter, Cyrus stated that her clothes expressed individuality, and were "very rocker."[4]

Cyrus said that the Wonder World Tour would be more elaborate with props like tractors, boats and motorcycles.[14] Cyrus explained on an interview with MTV News that her appearance and performance had drastically changed from the Best of Both Worlds Tour.[14] It would have several "pretty wild" and frequent costume changes that included a bejeweled bodysuit.[14] She stated, "It's super fun. It's kind of for everybody. And it's got all these different types of styles into it [...] It's definitely crazy. It's a new, different world."[17] On an interview with Tony Potts of Access Hollywood, Cyrus further elaborated on the themes of the tour. At first Cyrus described the work occurring in the Wonder World Tour.[18] Cyrus said, "There's lots of pieces, lots of different things [...] We're driving tractors, motorcycles, I'm flying."[18] She then explained that everyone on set share their ideas and the tapes of rehearsals were checked to see which ideas made the final cut.[18] When asked what was different between the Wonder World Tour and previous efforts, Cyrus responded, Vorlage:Quote

Synopsis

Cyrus performing a cover of "I Love Rock 'n' Roll," by Joan Jett, in the Wonder World Tour at the tour stop in San Antonio, Texas

The main show commences with an intro video simulating "A Big Freeze". Miley then emerges from inside a frozen ice block to perform opening number "Breakout" wearing black shorts, tank top, and white fur vest. She removes the vest to perform "Start All Over", "7 Things" and "Kicking and Screaming". Cyrus returns to the stage to perform "Bottom of the Ocean" in a long gown. At the end of the song she jumps into the stage for a costume change while a video appears on the screen showing Cyrus under water. During the next performance of "Fly on the Wall" Cyrus "flies" above the audience in the floor section for about 45 seconds of the song. As an outro to "Fly on the Wall" Cyrus and her dancers performed a tribute dance to "Thriller" by Michael Jackson. After another costume change Cyrus reappears in a short mini-dress to perform "Let's Get Crazy", one of two Hannah Montana songs on the set list. During a brief performance of "Hoedown Throwdown" Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas appears on a screen to talk to the audience while Cyrus runs off stage for a costume change. During the costume change, the dancers perform to the Black Eyed Peas song "Boom Boom Pow". She comes back onstage to perform "These Four Walls" sitting in the middle of the B-stage. Next she performs "When I Look At You", a song From Cyrus's new film The Last Song. Then she performs "Obsessed" where she is in a elevated lift. Next, Cyrus returns to perform another Hannah Montana song, "Spotlight". She changes her shorts for a performance of ""G.N.O" (Girls Night Out)". For the next performance, Cyrus wears a denim vest and jumps onto a Harley Davidson motorcycle to perform a cover of "I Love Rock 'n' Roll" as made famous by Joan Jett & the Blackhearts. During the song Cyrus "flies" over the audience while riding the motorcycle. She then moves onto "Hovering" with her brother Trace Cyrus. For the encore she emerges back onto the stage to perform "See You Again" and "The Climb". She leaves the arena a final time sinking below the stage while fireworks surround her.

Critical reception

Cyrus performing "Wake Up America" in the Wonder World Tour.

The concert tour received generally positive reviews from critics. The Daily Telegraph's Kirsty Cameron praised the concert, claiming that "despite her relatively young age, Cyrus showed her unfailing capability as performer."[19] Cameron added, "Cyrus provided her audience with choreographed set pieces and a different spectacle for each song."[19] The Los Angeles Times reviewer Mikael Wood described that Cyrus "still had to battle herself," instead of Hannah Montana.[20] Wood stated, "Cyrus failed Tuesday -- as she did on her last outing -- to give her fans a deeper idea of who she is and what her music means. For all its eye-popping detail, the concert offered nothing that viewers of her TV show or buyers of her records don't already know about her."[20] However, Wood noted that Cyrus gave charisma and good material.[20]

Erik Enrst of The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel complimented Cyrus vocal skills and said of the show "it was a pure visual spectacle".[21] However, he noted that at times Cyrus seemed focused on the succeeding song, rather than the one she was performing.[21] Jim Harrington, writing for The Oakland Tribune, described the show a portrayal of "the human embodiment of the Britney Spears' song "I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman" that mixed Gwen Stefani and Spears with children's music.[22] Harrington added that the tour was a conscious transition for fans that do not want her to step out of the Hannah Montana franchise.[22]

The Oregonian reviewer Melinda M. Thompson said Cyrus had star power and that the dancers "added energy to just about every number."[23] Thompson also praised the performances of "Wake Up America" and "The Climb," saying the "showed what a powerhouse she can be using her voice and influence to get her message out."[23] David Burger of The Salt Lake Tribune described Cyrus's voice as "at first pitchy" and "murdered," but then improving with a "unique, distinctive tensed-throat twang that makes her one of Disney's most interesting vocalists."[24] He added that Cyrus "soldiered through the rest" of the show well, despite being struck with strep throat.[24] Variety magazine's Lael Loewenstein said that "Cyrus knows how to deliver the goods without losing her core audience."[25] Loewenstein added that the concert was a "mission accomplished" with "inevitable hits" and that her vocal range was merely limited on some songs, but coupled with charisma, drive and spunk they made artistry.[25]

Additional notes

  • For her Wonder World tour, Cyrus changed the lyrics of "Party in the USA" from "a Jay-Z song was on" to "a Britney song was on" and "a Britney song was on" to "a Michael song was on" in memory of Michael Jackson. In several cities, Cyrus changed word "Nashville" in the line "it's definitely not a Nashville party" to the name of the city.
  • During the September 29 performance of "7 Things" in Salt Lake City at the EnergySolutions Arena, Cyrus ran off the stage due to being ill from strep throat and needing medical attention.[26][27] Her band and back up dancers covered for her, and fifteen minutes later Cyrus returned to resume the concert.[26][27] "Kicking and Screaming" and "Wake Up America" were dropped from the set list to make up the lost time.[24]
  • Starting on the concert on October 10 in Milwaukee at the Bradley Center, Cyrus replaced "Wake Up America" with "Hovering", a duet with Trace Cyrus of Metro Station.[21]
  • After selling out all of her European concert dates, Cyrus has added a fifth and final stop in London on December 29, 2009. Tickets went on sale October 30, 2009.[28]
  • On November 20, 2009 a Miley Cyrus tour bus overturned and fell onto its side with ten people, not including Cyrus, onboard. One person, bus driver William Douglas (known as "Uncle Bill" to the Cyrus family), died in the accident. The performance of "The Climb" during her November 22, 2009 concert in Greensboro, North Carolina was dedicated to Douglas. A highlight video package of William's life, with two memorial screens on each side, was set to the final song.
  • During the two concert dates in Ireland she performed the song "I love Rock'n'Roll" without the (visually flying) Motorcycle, that was featured on all other gigs of that tour.
