Kylie Minogue’s Vegas Residency Never Stumbles, Even as She Recovers From an Ankle Injury: Concert Review

variety.com:

Todd Gilchrist editor After a five-month stint in art deco concert venue/nightclub Voltaire at Las Vegas casino The Venetian, Kylie Minogue has just two more performances left before the conclusion of her concert series “More Than a Residency.” Given the grueling schedule she’s maintained since the beginning of the promotional cycle for “Tension,” her sixteenth album, it feels understandable, even appropriate, for Minogue to take her foot off the gas — especially while she’s nursing an ankle sprain she must ice immediately after every show.

Even so, she poured what felt like 110 percent of her energy into Saturday night’s performance (April 27), delivering a highly-concentrated roundup of hits across an almost 40-year singing career to remind the venue’s 1,000 ticket holders why Minogue remains one of pop music’s most beloved and enduring figures.

Following an introductory set of house and disco music by a DJ clad in an oversized, sequined suit, the performers of Voltaire’s Belle de Nuit started the show proper at approximately 10:00 p.m.

Though the Luxor casino just a few miles down the strip marks the site of “Bodies,” a decidedly more clinical exhibition of human beings’ inner workings, no better showcase could be found in Vegas for the body’s active musculature than among the troupe’s dancers and acrobats.
