Xuxa Opens 'O Último Voo da Nave' With 360-Degree Stage and Paquitas Dispute

Overview

• The tour began in São Paulo on Saturday, July 25, with a 360-degree 'nave' brought from Amsterdam that organizers say was built by a team who worked on Beyoncé's tours.
• The show features a 31-song setlist that includes new Portuguese, English and Spanish versions of 'Ilariê' and reworked recordings to reflect Xuxa's current voice.
• Several former paquitas are onstage for the run while other ex-members say they were not invited, a rift fed by recent accounts in the documentary 'Pra sempre Paquitas' and public statements from excluded performers such as Bárbara Borges.
• Dates are confirmed through December with a marquee finale planned for December 20 at Maracanã that Globo and Multishow intend to broadcast and for which Xuxa has floated guest names including Ivete and Anitta.
• Ticket sales are being handled exclusively by Eventim and reports conflict about whether opening-night tickets sold out, while Xuxa has expressed interest in adding Northeast dates and a possible Argentina stop that remain under evaluation.
