Britney Spears kicked off “The Circus Starring Britney Spears” Tour at the New Orleans Arena yesterday (Mar 3). After 5 years away from the big stages I think it’s fair to say Britney is back! The show was sensual, sexy with some bondage in the mix – it was absolutely amazing. Brit started performing in a cage and during the show she made various stunts in the air.

The pop star kicked off the night at the city’s New Orleans Arena by descending from the ceiling on a circular trapeze, singing her recent track Circus, which provided the inspiration for the stunt-filled extravaganza.

Spears straddled a stripper pole to sing Radar while her 2007 hit Gimme More was given a martial arts theme, with the star performing alongside a troupe of dancing ninjas. Her collaboration with Madonna, Me Against the Music, was restyled with a Bollywood routine.

The star added some magical twists with a series of stunning illusions - the audience saw the star placed in a box and ‘cut in half’ during her rendition of Ooh Ooh Baby – and over 25 costume changes.

The star ended the gig with a remix of her debut single Baby… One More Time, before returning to the stage dressed as a cop for her recent hit Womanizer and a reprise of Circus.

We wished Britney had interacted more with the crowd that didn’t happen she was too busy changing from one kinky costume to another. Britney just thanks her fans quickly, “Thank you New Orleans for coming out tonight, I love you.”

Larry Rudolph had stated the Circus tour would be biggest production ever launched and it sure didn’t disappoint. I think Britney totally wowed us with her performance after hitting rock bottom in the past 2 years from losing custody of her two children to being hospitalized under a mental health order.
