Madonna at Boardwalk Hall – Weekend Happenings

The local stop by the Material Girl takes the top billing on my rundown of  South Jersey weekend happenings.  Madonna's World Tour 2012, which began just after Madge's well received Superbowl appearance and continues through the end of the year, has been garnering headlines  for it's high octane performance numbers and  Madonna's frequent pontificating and self-promotion.

At 54, Madonna's career and influence... now span more than 30 years, and she's been reworking many of her earlier hits during this tour.

Madonna plays Boardwalk Hall Saturday, September 15th, and tickets are available.
