Beyoncé’s crew gives you a backstage pass inside the planning for her intimate “4 Nights with Beyoncé” shows at Roseland Ballroom in New York City. The first part of the behind-the-scenes footage features commentary from the production manager, lighting designer, musical director, and one very brief cameo from the superstar herself (blink and you’ll miss it).

“She’s listening to her inner voice right now and doing what she wants to do,” says B’s lead guitarist Bibi. “I think she took risks. I think she’s being more authentic and doing what she wants to do instead of doing what people expect, which is good.”
