BURLESQUE THE MUSICAL to make West End premiere at Savoy Theatre this summer

Producers of Burlesque the Musical, based on the iconic Golden Globe Best Picture nominated film Burlesque, starring Christina Aguilera and Cher, have announced its highly anticipated West End premiere, running at the Savoy Theatre from 10 July-6 September.

This follows the show’s record-breaking previews with over 120k tickets sold, where audiences agreed it’s the most exciting movie musical to come to the stage in decades.

The new musical, written and produced by Steven Antin, with additional material by Kate Wetherhead is a scintillating journey of self-discovery that absolutely sizzles with songs by Christina Aguilera and Sia, with new music by Todrick Hall and Jess Folley.

Executive Producer of Burlesque the Musical and star of the original film, Christina Aguilera, said: “I’m proud that Burlesque the Musical is coming to London’s West End! Our journey of making this film to bringing this show to the stage has been so special and exciting. Following our successful previews, having the show land in the West End later this year is a dream come true!”

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.

Casting will be announced at a later date.

Tickets for Burlesque the Musical will go on general sale at 10am on 26 March here.
