The Onyx Hotel Tour (2004) The M+M's Tour (2007) The Circus Starring: Britney Spears (2009)

The M+M's Tour fue la quinta gira de la cantante estadounidence Britney Spears. Spears expressed interested to tour again as early as February 2006. She started rehearsing for a show at House of Blues venues in secret, and pulled out of a surprise performance on April 25, 2007, at Los Angeles nightclub Forty Deuce. After a marquee reading "The M+M's" at the House of Blues in San Diego, California, appeared in late April 2007, media sources identified the act as Spears, and the show quickly sold out. The tour began in San Diego and marked the first time Spears performed live since The Onyx Hotel Tour en junio de 2004.

El espectáculo featured Spears accompanied by four female back-up dancers performing shortened versions of five songs, including hits such as "...Baby One More Time" and "Toxic". It displayed choreographed dance numbers and only one costume change. During the performance of "Breathe on Me", a male audience member participated onstage. The opening performance received mixed reviews from critics. Some said that Spears looked happy and in great shape, while others deemed the show as subpar. Scalpers outside the San Diego venue sold tickets with a face value of $35 for prices between $200 and $500.

Antecedentes y desarrollo

"Ella quiere que la gente se olvide de que es famosa por afeitarse la cabeza y entrar en rehabilitación. Es famosa por Baby One More Time [sic] y por ser una bailarina, sexy y una artista musical profesional."." ——Craig Marks, editor-in-chief de Blender comentando sobre la gira.​

In an interview con People en febrero de 2006, Spears explained that she was anxious to resume her career, saying, "This may sound weird, but I miss traveling. I miss the road, seeing different places and being with the dancers and having fun. That feeling of being on the stage, knowing it's your best — I love that. I needed a break. I needed to be hungry again."​ On April 26, 2007, Ivan Kane, the owner of Los Angeles nightclub Forty Deuce, told E! News that Spears had pulled out of a surprise performance at the venue the previous night. Kane stated that during rehearsal, she was "looking very hot, with four backup dancers and [she] sang three songs. They ran through the set several times, the choreography was smokin', and she sounded great." Marc Malkin of E! News said that Spears thought she might need more time to prepare. He also reported that she was planning to tour House of Blues venues in the United States. Spears wanted to keep the rehearsals a secret, and did not even inform the owners of the different dance studios the reason for the preparation.​ In late April 2007, a marquee reading "The M+M's" appeared at the House of Blues in San Diego. Several gossip websites and local media sources identified the act as Spears, prompting the show to quickly sell out. On May 1, 2007, a front-page story on The San Diego Union-Tribune fueled the speculation.​ The same day, the doors opened at 19:00 PST (03:00 UTC), and Spears took the stage at 22:00 PST (06:00 UTC). It marked the first time Spears was on stage since her knee injury caused The Onyx Hotel Tour to be canceled in June 2004.​

Sinopsis del concierto

Es seguido a una versión abreviada de «I'm a Slave 4 U». La interpretación fue comparada por el estilo de el Pussycat Dolls. Los bailarines abandonaron el escenario, dejando sola a Spears to perform a chair routine to «Breathe on Me» de In the Zone. They re-entered taking a male fan from the audience, while Spears disappeared for a costume change. She reappeared in a hot pink bra, white fur coat and jean skirt to perform «Do Somethin'». El show concluyó con «Toxic», which featured Spears y sus bailarines interpretando en un estilo de Shakira. Spears thanked the audience and left the stage. El espectáculo duró 13 minutos.​

Recepción

Crítica

Teri VanHorn de MTV dijo that with "Su cuerpo bronceado recientemente y su sonrisa brillando, se veía de pies a cabeza como una mujer que había salido de su crisis del cuarto de vida más fuerte que ayer". She also said Spears performed con "una actitud pícara y desenvuelta", as though she "had invited 900 friends to her dirty little dance party, and too bad for you if you couldn't roll with the fun."​ SuChin Pak, también de MTV stated el espectáculo "no amplia revelación", explicando, "No fue la clase de espectáculo que dice: 'Ella volvió. Ella going para revelarse con el álbum mas grande de su carrera.' Nor did it say that she's lost forever and we'll never see the old Britney back again. These are all really tiny baby steps."​ Thomas K. Arnold de USA Today dijo que el espectáculo "turned out to be more rehearsal than comeback", aunque "todos esos entrenamientos después de la rehabilitación merecieron la pena".​
