Burlesque The Musical London

See the widely acclaimed Burlesque The Musical as it lands at the Savoy Theatre in London for a strictly limited run, after wowing audiences in Manchester and Glasgow.

This musical adaptation of Steven Antin’s 2010 crowd-pleasing film, which starred Christina Aguilera in the lead role, follows Ali – a small-town girl who stumbles upon a hidden music scene in New York City she never knew existed: a burlesque club run by Tess (played in the film by none other than Cher).

Under the bustling city life lies an underground scene where anything is possible – from mesmerising, seductive dance routines to chasing a lifelong dream and discovering who you truly are.

Welcome to the mesmerising world of Burlesque!

Why should you see Burlesque The Musical?

Brought to the stage for the very first time with Christina Aguilera as executive producer, this dazzling musical brings the magic of the hit movie to life right in front of your eyes.

Step into the world of burlesque – where glitter shines a little brighter and a boa and a few sequins might just change your life.

Follow the fabulous tale of a small-town girl who heads to bustling New York in search of her long-lost mother, only to find herself swept into a shimmering underground scene where music and dance make anything possible.

Get ready for a whirlwind of emotions as Ali embarks on a journey of self-discovery, set to a powerful soundtrack featuring songs by Christina Aguilera, Sia and Diane Warren.
