*Two live dancers (named Andrea Sikie and Vanessa Huntoon) were heavily featured during the tour. The dancers were dressed with latex prosthetic breastplates and vaginas. For performances of [[Disposable Teens]], both dancers played Hitler Jugend (Hitler Youth) styled floor toms whilst wearing SS Nazi uniforms and [[Official Marilyn Manson Mask]]s. They performed piano for "[[The Golden Age of Grotesque (song)|The Golden Age of Grotesque]]", danced for "[[Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)]]", and played floor toms once more for "[[Doll-Dagga Buzz-Buzz Ziggety-Zag]]". The dancers were also featured for performances of "[[mOBSCENE]]", wearing outfits and makeup similar to those seen in the music video.

Another podium was used as well, although it was white, resembled the bow of a ship and adorned with the bands new "MM" logo. Manson would often wear a hat with ears similar to that of Mickey Mouse. He also donned black face for this song as well as "[[The Beautiful People]]".
