“I am beyond excited to be joining Burlesque – and in a brand-new West End theatre no less! The songs are huge, the glamour is off the charts, and the costumes are absolutely INSANE Honestly? The West End is not ready for this level of fabulous.” – Cassidy Janson
The show is written and directed by Steven Antin, based on his original movie, with additional material by Kate Wetherhead. Songs in the show are by Christina Aguilera, Sia and Diane Warren, with additional songs by Todrick Hall and Jess Folley.
The story centres on Ali, who leaves Iowa with stars in her eyes, and arrives in LA at a burlesque lounge with dreams of taking the stage with her soaring voice.
