The California Dreams Tour was the official second concert tour by Katy Perry, in support of her third studio album Teenage Dream. The tour was officially announced on October 11, 2010 through Twitter and her official site. Beginning February 2011, the tour visited Europe, Oceania, Asia, North America and South America.[2] The tour ranked 16th in Pollstar's "2011 Top 25 Worldwide Tours", earning over $59.5 million.[3] At the end of 2011, Billboard ranked it #13 on its annual "Top 25 Tours", earning nearly $48.9 million.[4] It won an award for Favorite Tour Headliner at the 38th People's Choice Awards.[5]
Background[]
In October 2010, Perry told MTV about the California Dreams Tour:
“ | I guess I'm looking forward to making music videos on this new album ... and I'm really excited about incorporating the look and the idea of some of the songs on tour and making a massive production of it. I'm gonna want a lot of visuals. I want it to be 10 times better than when I was on tour last.[6] | ” |
Baz Halpin was hired to direct the tour and production on the tour began in November 2010. Perry chose Halpin as the director after seeing his work with P!nk and wanted the tour to look like the work of artists Will Cotton and Mark Ryden. The tour was originally designed as a theater-based tour with only one or two small arena performances. However, as Perry's popularity grew, the tour was scaled up and revamped to accommodate larger venues. When the tour was revamped, a larger rolling stage was introduced with more lighting, larger video screens, more costume changes, and 14 trucks to transport the equipment. Tour director Baz Halpin designed the show to be a "jukebox musical."[7][8][9]
While promoting her recent album, Perry expressed that she wanted her upcoming tour to be very visual. On her Twitter account, she stated, "I hope that it's going to engage all of your senses: sight, sound, smell, taste, touch".[10] The tour was officially announced in October 2010 by various media outlets including Perry's official website, in conjunction with the release of her third single "Firework". In 2011, Perry announced her North American leg during a live chat on social network Facebook. She then responded the tour will be very "super girl power" as vocalists Robyn, Yelle, Marina and the Diamonds, and Janelle Monáe will open her shows during the various legs. Perry further stated she will actively participate with fans during the tour on various social networks including Facebook and Twitter.
Her friend Jessie J was also confirmed to support Perry during the final leg of her tour during fall but had to pull out under the doctor's orders after an injury during rehearsals for the concert. She was replaced by Ellie Goulding.[11][12][13]
Calvin Harris was advertised to be the opening acts for Perry in England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland.[14] On March 27, 2011, Perry announced via Twitter that Harris was no longer involved with the tour. He cites technical restrictions as the reason for his cancellation. He was replaced by DJ Skeet Skeet.[15]
While Perry was performing at the TSB Bank Arena in Wellington, New Zealand, on May 10, 2011, a 24-year old female was attacked in a mosh-pit situation. The injuries included were a black eye along with small cuts and bruises. The woman stated she was attacked by another female concert attendee in front of her when she told her to "stop pushing her".[16] Perry announced on her website that over $150,000 was raised for the Tickets-For-Charity fundraiser, in which a portion of proceeds from the tour revenue were donated to charity. The money was divided between three charities: the Children's Health Fund (CHF), Generosity Water, and Humane Society of the United States.[17] EMI donated a signed album by Perry herself for an auction for the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Auckland. The auction was for the promotion of the California Dreams Tour, where she had visited in New Zealand. The auction closed on May 31, 2011.[18] On Thanksgiving Day (November 24, 2011), Perry had tweeted that there will be a concert DVD released for the tour.[19]
Concert synopsis[]
The show begins with a video screen introduction directed by Cole Walliser which tells the story of a girl named Katy who lives in a colorless world wasting her life cutting meat for a mean old butcher. One night, Perry escapes her dreadful reality by falling asleep and visits a vibrant candy land in search for her pet cat Kitty Purry and also for her love interest, the Baker's Boy, played by former What I Like About You star Nick Zano.[20] Katy appears on stage and starts performing "Teenage Dream" with her dancers, while wearing a white dress with spinning peppermints.[21] "Hummingbird Heartbeat" and "Waking Up in Vegas" are performed next, the latter accompanied by a human slot machine, showgirls and an Elvis Presley impersonator.[22] She leaves the stage briefly for a costume change while a video interlude shows Perry taking a shortcut that leads her into a candy forest where she meets two naughty mimes who join her on stage to perform "Ur So Gay". At the end of the performance, Perry takes a bite of their magical brownie.[20] Perry then makes a wardrobe change on stage, trading her skirt for a feathered tail while she begins to perform "Peacock", an elaborated feathered fan dance number.[20] Perry continues with "I Kissed a Girl" in vampy torch-singer garb, prefacing the song by bringing a male fan on stage to flirt and kiss.[23]
In the next section, a video interlude reveals that the mimes' brownie has transformed Perry into a catwoman, a plan executed by the evil butcher all along. "Circle the Drain" gets performed while Perry battles her dancers who are dressed as butchers before going into "E.T." where laser beams run across the stage while a futuristic lyrics video is projected on the screens.[23] The show continues with "Who Am I Living For?" in which she is strapped up by her dancers with elastic strings and is left on the ground defeated. She is then saved by her two backup singers and moves into "Pearl," at one moment she is lifted in the air sitting in the backs of two aerialists. After a brief video interlude, Perry reappears on stage sitting on a swing to perform "Not Like the Movies".[24] During the performance, Katy is lifted high above the stage as images of cartoons kissing are projected behind her.[24] Perry descends and picks her guitar to perform an acoustic version of "The One That Got Away". Then, she goes on to perform an acoustic medley of songs such as Rihanna's "Only Girl (In the World)", Jay-Z's "Big Pimpin'", Willow Smith's "Whip My Hair", and Rebecca Black's "Friday" while interacting with the public.[25] A giant pink colored cloud descends to the stage and Perry gets on top of it, she is then elevated above the crowd and performs "Thinking of You".[26]
The next section begins with another video interlude where Perry finally finds Kitty Purry and is now headed to the Big Bakers City Ball wearing a blue wig to meet her lover, the Baker's Boy. Trying to decide on what to wear, Perry starts performing "Hot N Cold", magically going through seven costume changes[23] bursting immediately into "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)". During this song, photos of fans are displayed on the screens.[27] This is followed by a cover of Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)", in which Perry and her cat Kitty Purry invite up to 20 fans onto the stage at the end of the number. After a high-energy and sparkly performance of "Firework", the encore begins with the final interlude of the show, which reveals that Perry has been dreaming all along, suddenly the Baker's Boy enters her room dressed in a gingerbread costume to deliver cupcakes she has ordered for breakfast. Perry returns to the stage for a performance of "California Gurls" dressed in a silver bra shaped like Hershey's Kisses, dancing with a line of Gingerbread men, and dousing the crowd with a whip cream bazooka. At the end, Perry and the dancers bow to the audience as the curtain falls down.[21]
Broadcasts and recordings[]
- Main article: Katy Perry: Part of Me
Perry's performance during Rock in Rio was broadcast live in Brazil on Multishow, Globo.com and Rede Globo, and aired internationally was streamed live on the video sharing website YouTube. It was confirmed by Perry that the DVD would be from the November 23, 2011 show that was put on for free at the Staples Centre.[28] In March 2012, Perry announced via Twitter that she and Paramount Pictures announced the release of her autobiographical documentary Katy Perry: Part of Me, which was released on July 5, 2012 and contains clips from various shows.[29]
Reception[]
The tour received positive reviews from music critics. Bridget Jones from Stuff NZ gave it an excellent review. She said "There was no doubt her fans were left with a truly sweet taste in their mouths after one of the most extravagant and fun performances Vector Arena has seen in a long time".[30] Bernadette McNulty from The Daily Telegraph gave it four out of five stars, complimenting storyline of the tour itself. She had noted "Her California Dreams tour is less of a pop concert and more of a megawatt jukebox musical." They had said that it features all the glitz and glamour, but said that the music lacks a few and it doesn't leave a trace to remember.[31] Jon Mitchell from MTV reviewed the concert at Uniondale and said that "The show stuck so impressively to its storyline about Perry's travels through Candy Land in pursuit of "the baker's boy" that it could almost be a jukebox Broadway musical in the vein of "Rock of Ages" or "Mamma Mia."[22]
Joseph Brannigan Lynch from Entertainment Weekly reviewed the tour through the night in New Jersey, which featured Robyn. He gave it a positive review, but said "Say what you will about Katy Perry—sure, she has a weak singing voice and her songs are mostly devoid of substance—but as a courier of frothy delights and eye-catching effulgence, she’s become one of today’s most-satisfying pop stars."[32] Metro.co.uk gave it a positive review. They had said "The show had a sweet theme and Katy performed in a front of a candy cane staircase against a backdrop of giant lollipops in a characteristically outlandish outfit of glittery fishnet stockings, a sparkly heart-shaped corset and a bright pink tutu."[33] John Mitchell from MTV News gave the concert a very positive review. He had said "It was colorful, triumphant and the perfect way to end a near-perfect pop show" and also added "Unlike many of her dance-pop contemporaries (think Lady Gaga or Britney Spears), Perry left most of the dancing to her talented backup troupe, who were introduced individually during solos to popular candy-related songs."[22] Emily Mackay from NME gave it a positive review.[34]
