Indianapolis (IndyStar) -- Madonna prepped four songs during a five-hour rehearsal Wednesday night at Lucas Oil Stadium, according to sources involved in the production of Sunday's Super Bowl halftime show.
Madonna worked on renditions of "Vogue," "Music," new single "Give Me All Your Luvin' " and "Like a Prayer."
During the opening segment of "Vogue," the international star sat in a golden throne and was carried aloft by a crew of young men.
The rehearsal, originally scheduled as a four-hour session, stretched to five hours of work. At its conclusion, Madonna thanked members of the volunteer crew for staying late.
In a television interview scheduled to air today, Madonna says she's anxious about taking center stage in Indianapolis.
"Oh, my God, I'm so nervous, you have no idea," she told CNN's Anderson Cooper.
"First of all, it's the Super Bowl. The Super Bowl is kind of like the holiest of holy in America. I'm going to come in halfway between the church experience, and I'm going to have to deliver a sermon that's going to have to be very impactful."
