Burlesque The Musical on Tour

With songs by Christina Aguilera, Sia, Diane Warren, Jess Folley and Todrick Hall, this electrifying production brings powerhouse vocals, dazzling choreography and all the glamour of the movie to the West End following its sell-out run at the Savoy Theatre.

A fabulous cast is led by Faye Brookes as Tess.

What to expect

Set in a dazzling underground club in New York City, Burlesque the Musical follows Ali, a small-town girl chasing her dreams. Drawn into a world of music, glamour and ambition, she finds her voice, her power and a new kind of family.

Created with Steven Antin and executive producer Christina Aguilera, the show reimagines the cult film as a bold, spectacular musical packed with sequins, soul and show-stopping performances.

What’s Burlesque The Musical about?

Based on the 2010 film starring Christina Aguilera, Cher, Stanley Tucci, Alan Cumming, Eric Dane, Dianna Agron and Kristen Bell, this story of self-discovery and empowerment now comes to the London stage in a bigger, bolder and more theatrical form.

Returning to the West End, the production brings its powerhouse vocals, spectacle and glamour back to London in a new season at Arts at Marble Arch.
