Previews from Saturday 12 September

At the same time, a second production will start a major UK tour and continue through 2026 & 2027

BURLESQUE THE MUSICAL, based on the iconic Golden Globe Best Picture nominated film starring Christina Aguilera and Cher, written and directed by Steven Antin, will return in triumph to the West End this summer following its 100% sold out critically acclaimed strictly limited season at the Savoy Theatre.

At the same time, a second production will set out on a major 33-week UK tour, opening at New Victoria Theatre, Woking for 2 weeks from Saturday 25th July, running throughout 2026 and 2027.

BURLESQUE THE MUSICAL will be staged in the West End’s newest theatre, The Arts at Marble Arch, where over the next two years, more than 500,000 people are expected to attend performances.

Written by Steven Antin, BURLESQUE THE MUSICAL is a scintillating journey of self-discovery that absolutely sizzles with songs by Christina Aguilera, Sia, Diane Warren, Jess Folley and Todrick Hall.

Welcome to BURLESQUE THE MUSICAL, the glamorous, gritty and outrageously fun new musical based on the much-loved hit movie that reminds us…Life Isn’t Fair...It’s Fabulous!

Discover a club like no other...a place beneath the city lights where the sequins sparkle, seduction shimmers, and a life can change in the flick of a feather boa.

When Ali heads to New York in search of her mother, she finds herself drawn into a dazzling underground world where the beat of the music and the heat of the dance moves will change her life forever. Ali will unwittingly find her extraordinary voice and a most unlikely family of misfits, dreamers, and schemers.

Cast and creative team to be announced soon.

BURLESQUE THE MUSICAL is produced by Christina Aguilera, Adam Paulden & Jason Haigh-Ellery   Steven Antin, Clint Culpepper, In Fine Company.

UK Tour dates on sale soon. Please check with your local venue
