Location: Ahmanson Theatre, 135 N Grand Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90012

The story bursts to life through a playlist of pop anthems like “Since U Been Gone,” “Roar,” “Baby One More Time,” “Larger Than Life,” “That’s The Way It Is,” and “Can’t Stop the Feeling!” from the songwriter‑producer with more #1 hits than any other artist this century.
