The Girlie Show was the fourth concert tour by American singer and songwriter Madonna, in support of her fifth studio album, Erotica (1992).
In October 1992, Madonna simultaneously released Erotica and the coffee table book Sex.
The former ended up being Madonna's lowest selling album at the time, while the latter received extensive media attention, and backlash from fans and critics; nonetheless, it was commercially successful.
After the critical and commercial failure of the erotic thriller Body of Evidence starring Madonna, the tour was announced in July 1993.
The 39-date tour marked the first time the singer visited places such as Turkey, Israel, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Argentina, Brazil and Australia.
According to some critics, it was the singer's way to revive her music career following the negative reaction to the thriller.
The tour took its name after an Edward Hopper painting titled Girlie Show.
Madonna's brother, Christopher Ciccone, was appointed tour director.

The Sheltering Sky is a 1949 novel of alienation and existential despair by American writer and composer Paul Bowles.
