But the most important aspect of the show for the Hustlers actress, 50, is to make it ‘fun’ for both herself and the audience.
Her partner: She will perform with Shakira. ‘It’s the biggest show that there is. It has the biggest audience. You get to have like this big production. You don’t get to do that on tour,’ she said
She added: ‘For me, I’m obviously going to try to put together the best show that I can, but it’s also about having fun.
‘Just being up there, staying present in the moment and enjoying all of the wonderful things that are happening.’
And the actress is excited about sharing the stage with 42-year-old Shakira.
She explained: ‘There’s nobody like her so I know that the two of us together are going to bring that special brand of what we do and there will be people who haven’t even seen us perform who get to see something special that night.’
