info and cast: |
In June, the Pet Shop Boys announce the initial stages of their world tour in eight years.
After a one-off show headlining the dance festival Creamfields on August 28, the tour began
in America in the second half of October and visited the US, Germany, the Czech Republic,
Britain and Eire before Christmas. The set and show was designed by the celebrated architect
Zaha Hadid, who they have asked to design a show with modular structure which could fit in venues
of different sizes. "She came up with the idea of having a structure that actually changes during
the course of the show itself, and the backing singers we have actually are involved in making
the set changes. Cast was follow.
