Behind the Scenes of ‘Reflection’
The special will feature scenes from Underwood’s Reflection residency, which took place at the prestigious Resorts World Theater in Las Vegas.

The residency debuted in December 2021 as a limited-run show, but due to overwhelming demand, it was extended multiple times.
By the time it wrapped up in August 2024, Reflection had become one of the most talked-about shows on the Las Vegas Strip.
