Lady Gaga has been riding the “Jazz + Piano” express at Dolby Live since the pandemic reopening. Her “Enigma” pop show hasn’t performed since Dec. 30, 2019.
There has been talk of the show coming back, in some form, maybe as a theater version of her 2022 “Chromatica Ball” tour. Here’s a thought: Stay with “Jazz + Piano.” Ditch the pop show. The gorgeous orchestral production consistently trumps the towering transformer (from “Enigma,” lest we forget).
Gaga seems to be edging in that direction. On Thursday, the multi-talented superstar strayed from the script — we are led to believe there is a script, anyway — and said, “We’re gonna make a contract. Everybody on this stage will be here forever, we’ll do it. I’m not kidding. I make a lot of jokes on this stage. This is not one of them.”
