CARDIFF, Wales — Madonna began her world tour Saturday night, appearing on a throne as dancers wriggled across a stage at Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium.

Some fans had been lining up since Friday to see the four-act show. It carried the usual Madonna fixtures: sequins, fishnets and bondage-style outfits drawn from the 3,500 items of clothing reportedly whipped together specifically for the “Sticky and Sweet” tour.

The show includes eight costume changes, 16 dancers and $1.85 million worth of Swarovski crystals. It is billed as a musical mishmash of “gangsta pimp.”

Madonna is scheduled to play two shows at the Pepsi Center, Nov. 11 and 12.
