The Unauthorized Christina Aguilera Story
Where: Act2PV
Basilio Badillo 339 & Insurgentes, Zona Romántica
When: Thursday, December 19 at 6:30 PM
Written by Selena Luna (thats me), The Unauthorized Christina Aguilera Story is an original jukebox musical with a fresh, cheeky twist. This isn’t a tribute show—it’s a playful, fictional narrative exploring what it might have been like for a young Christina Aguilera and how her experiences as a pop princess of the 2000s parallel those of the Storyteller, played by the charismatic Kevin Anthony II.
Up-and-coming musical theatre talent Patriz takes center stage as young Christina, accompanied by local jazz pianist virtuoso Ruly Idar Mayorga, whose stripped-down and unplugged arrangements add a unique charm to the production. Featuring clever comedy, inventive reimagining of Christina’s hits, and an unforgettable duet, this one-of-a-kind musical delivers narrative musical entertainment with a wink.
