THE GROTESK BURLESK TOUR WAS A HUGE THEATRICAL STAGE SHOW WHICH PERFORMED ALL OVER THE WORLD. AS ALWAYS WITH MARILYN MANSON HE MERGED THE MUSIC AND ART TO CREATE VISUAL SPECTACTICAL.

THE STAGE WAS DESIGNED TO REPRESENT THE VAUDEVILLE, BURLESQUE, CABARET SHOWS OF THE 1930'S HOLLYWOOD AND BERLIN, VARIOUS CHANGES THROUGHOUT THE SHOW REFLECTED A STAGE SET IN BERLIN WITH BANNERS HANGING WITH THE "MM" LOGO. THIS MERGED IN WITH THE DEGENERATE ART AND VISUALS WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN BANNED IN NAZI GERMANY, BUT THE JUXTAPOSITION OF THESE ELEMENTS REFLECT MARILYN MANSON'S STATEMENTS AND ART.
THIS TOUR SAW TWO SUPPORTING GUESTS FOR THE DURATION OF THE TOUR, TWO WOMEN WOULD EITHER APPEAR AS DRUMMERS, DANCERS OR CONJOINED TWINS. INSPIRED BY THE COLLABORATION WITH GOTTFRIED HELNWEIN, THE GROTESK BURLESK WAS THE PLACE TO SHARE MORE OF THAT WITH THE WORLD UNCENSORED. HUGE CURTAINS FEATURING THE ARTWORK BY HELNWEIN WERE ALSO ON DISPLAY THROUGHOUT THE SHOW, IMAGES BANNED FROM BEING USED IN THE ALBUM ART WERE NOW ON DISPLAY FOR THE WORLD TO SEE.
