In another clip recapping the evening, which she gave a full five stars while saying she was “blown away,” Aguilera is seen strutting to her seat in the same bodysuit, paired with sleek black heels. The video splices in snippets from the live performance and captures Christina hyping the cast from the audience and even greeting fellow theatergoers on her way in.
For those who somehow missed it, Burlesque the Musical is inspired by the 2010 film of the same name starring Aguilera herself, alongside Cher, Kristen Bell, Cam Gigandet, Stanley Tucci, Julianne Hough, Alan Cumming and Peter Gallagher. The film follows Ali (Aguilera), a small-town singer who moves to Los Angeles and lands a spot at a struggling burlesque lounge, eventually becoming its main attraction.
