Stage
The stage was set up as an in-the-round at the center of the venue measuring 144-feet-wide to allow for better audience viewing. It incorporated many features such as a one of a kind large circular water screen, a giant crane that extends over the audience, laser and automated video effects and a double Lazy Susan at the center stage, consisting of one in the center and an outer one as a ring around the other. It was designed similar to Britney Spears' Circus Tour. The tour used this stage for all of its legs except for the Caribbean and the South America legs of the tour, where a regular stage with catwalk was used instead.
