At a press conference held yesterday, Cindy shared her excitement and the significance of the show, stating that every show she puts on has to break a record.
“This show has been a long time coming. It took me such a long time to prepare and think about it. Finally, we are ready to give you the show of the year. The production for Friday is unlike anything you have seen before,” she said.
The show will be held the day after her 40th birthday, adding a special touch to the already grand occasion.
