An armoured Rolls Royce, a flaming piano and a 40ft sea monster... Lady Gaga kicks off £1m UK tour dressed in a nun's habit
After her pared down set at the Brits, Lady Gaga was back on form last night for the start of her nine-date UK tour.
The 23-year-old star delighted fans with a weird an wacky show, which she described as more akin to a musical than a pop concert.
Gaga, who won three Brits on Tuesday, has totally overhauled the show, with not a single ounce of costume or set from her U.S. show used.
She spent £2million on the American tour and, according to reports, has shelled out more than £1 million on the stage set, costumes and props for this one
Her efforts have been hailed by critics, with The Independent branding her 'The Queen of Pop' - something that is not likely to please the current title holder, Madonna.
ACT 1: CityThe newspaper said: 'It is a brave artist that trashes her stage show between legs of her first arena tour, but Lady Gaga is nothing if not a perfectionist and her gamble just about pays off on the first date of this European run.'
The BBC hailed her extravagant set pieces saying: 'It was a hugely ambitious, terrifyingly loud show, spread over four acts and held together by a flimsy "narrative" about Gaga and her dancer friends trying to get to a party.'
Lady Gaga opened the show 40 minutes late, starting with her Brits song Dance In The Dark, before performing some of her favourites, Just Dance and Poker Face.
The first act was called 'City', the second 'Sub Boys' followed by 'Forest' before culminating in the party scene, the 'Monster Ball'.
Some of her other wacky ensembles saw her dress in a funky nun's habit and a black and white striped Bettle Juice outfit.
Speaking about her new tour, Lady Gaga told London radio show Capital FM: 'The show is a musical, it's not just a pop show, there are lines and a score there's a lot of music that you haven't heard before.
'Some of it's very old, some of it's new, there are scores specifically for the show itself.'
She added: 'The show's completely different and I have some really amazing surprises. It's unlike anything I've done before.'

Helena Christensen steals the show... with the help of some push-up underwear
As a former Victoria's Secret Angel supermodel Helena Christensen is an expert in lingerie. And it shows.At the after-party for Calvin Klein on Thursday the 41-year-old stole the show in a low-cut strapless dress.
And it was all thanks to her judicious use of a push-up bra.
The underwear turned the beige basque dress into an eye-catching outfit, which Helena emphasised with a gold necklace.
Earlier in the day, at the designer's Autumn show, the mother-of-one had looked completely different.
In place of the show stealing cleavage she would later display, she wore a modest bronze crinkled dress.
Fans of the photographer should feel no surprise at her revealing choice of outfit.
'I have no problems with showing my body,' she revealed in a recent interview.
‘I’m Danish. Everyone’s naked on the beaches.
'We don’t really give a s***.’
