NEW YORK (EMI) - In November 2003, Australian pop princess Kylie Minogue staged a very special one-off performance at London's Hammersmith Apollo to launch her current album, Body Language. For one night only an invited audience of fans and guests witnessed Kylie's first live performance of the new material in an extravagant show that combined breathtaking staging and stunning choreography with a selection of songs spanning her last three albums (and a few surprises). The show, entitled "Money Can't Buy," cost over 1.5 million pounds to stage just for the one night and involved months of preparation. Now the show and the film shot around it will be released on DVD in the U.S. today, September 7th, as Kylie Minogue: Body Language Live. The DVD features the full performance in surround sound, previously unseen rehearsal footage, a behind-the-scenes documentary, an exclusive interview with Kylie, a photo gallery and promo videos for Body Language tracks "Slow," "Red Blooded Woman" and "Chocolate." This London show was one of Kylie's most intimate in recent memory. The last time she played the Hammersmith Apollo in 2001 she sold out seven consecutive nights. And her most recent London shows found her selling out four nights at Wembley Arena as part of her Fever Tour, which saw her play to over 250,000 people, smashing box office records in cities across the U.K. Among other spectacles, the "Money Can't Buy" performance featured extravagant props and lighting, a spectacular Eiffel Tower sequence, Kylie astride a vintage motorcycle and a dazzling display of outfits from Helmut Lang, Chanel and Pucci.
