In a new interview on dance dish, A one time Madonna dancer for her first big brit awards show performance and the only time she performed Bedtime Story, her dancer discusses the frustration of at the time, the performance wasn't going to be seen in the states, except for just Britian, but thx to the internet, it lives on forever and he's constantly tagged. 

 

They also discussed how she was actually given a role in the 1995 film Showgirls, that film was harshly criticized and flopped all due to the NC-17 rating, which even still, no film studio wants that rating as it's strictly limited to just 17 and older, and its seen as a kiss of death in the box office, even the late Wes craven had to do 18 different edits of the 1996 Legendary horror flick "Scream" to get the desired R Rating. 

 

Wisely she went with the career defining "Evita" cos of what happened with the Erotica and s** book era. This would have looked bad for her anyway.
