Lady Gaga Presents The Monster Ball Tour: At Madison Square Garden is the visually stunning Emmy® award-winning HBO special presented in 5.1 Dolby TrueHD. In February 2011, Lady Gaga brought her 10-piece band and 10 backup dancers to Madison Square Garden, about 20 blocks from where she grew up. She poses, sings, plays keyboards, dances, and talks ala the Lady Gaga persona amongst a Lady Gage circus environment. Visually she is captured in performance and off stage changing costumes between numbers. She calls her fans "freaks" and "little monsters," while songs urge them to show their paws and teeth. "Dance In The Dark," "Glitter And Grease," "Just Dance," "Beautiful, Dirty, Rich," "The Fame," "LoveGame," "Boys Boys Boys," "Money Honey," "Telephone," "Speechless," "You and I," "So Happy I Could Die," "Monster," "Teeth," "Alejandro," "Poker Face," "Paparazzi," "Bad Romance," and "Born This Way" provide the program. Behind the credits, she and three others sing cappella style "Born This Way." (Gary Reber)
