KATY Perry reinvents the pop concert as an eight act Broadway musical for her ambitious Prismatic world tour which opened its Sydney run at Allphones Arena last night.
The fast-paced, slickly choreographed and designed to dazzle show is guaranteed to reboot your mood.
Perry doesn’t much around, getting straight into the show with her smash hit Roar, wearing an illuminated top and skirt which flashed fluoro as she belted out the first act which also featured Part Of Me and Wide Awake.

Her physical fitness campaign is clearly working out with Perry managing to skip rope in one song, jog on a catwalk treadmill in another and do enviable multiple thigh squats at regular junctions.
The lighting design is jaw dropping, from lasers which fracture into suspended twinkling spots of colour to
glowing guitars and the final explosion of prisms seen through 3D glasses during Firework.
Other Prismatic acts included the Egyptian theme which anchored Dark Horse and a cat wonderland of scratching posts and climbing towers.

When she was singing, or performing some of the quickest costume changes on record, Perry loved a chat with her adoring KatyCats.
She has done her homework for her epic six week tour of Australia, littering her banter with a well accented “Listen to moi” in homage to Kath and Kim, adopting “heaps” as her new favourite expression and giving Vegemite a go.
One lucky fan out of the 16,000 at the gig scored a pizza during her acoustic set declaring she is now gluten free.

For all the state of the art production, Perry delivered old school family entertainment with plenty of singalong moments, hands shaken and no F bombs.
Even the Dads looked like they had a good time.
Perry performs again tonight and will also appear as a special guest at the ARIA Awards in Wednesday.
