Discover a club like no other… a place beneath the city lights where sequins sparkle, seduction shimmers, and a life can change in the flick of a feather boa.
When Ali heads to New York City in search of her mother, she finds herself drawn into a dazzling underground world of music and dance that will change her life forever. A scintillating journey of self-discovery that absolutely sizzles with songs by Christina Aguilera, Sia and Diane Warren, alongside additional songs by Todrick Hall and Jess Folley.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Burlesque The Musical
Burlesque at the Savoy Theatre review: a daft paean to self-empowerment
6 / 10
Glossy back-projections take us from Iowa to Manhattan. There’s a nod towards body positivity and trans inclusion among the lithe calves and twinkling buttocks. The costumes include a pair of cocktail-olive brassieres for the lissom twins performing a number called Dirty Martini, and a corset adorned with wing mirrors and protruding whips for Folley. Lights strafe and confetti cannons eventually ejaculate. This enjoyably absurd musical based on an enjoyably humdrum film is far better than I could have anticipated.
Review: ‘Burlesque the Musical’, Savoy Theatre
3 / 10
And FWIW it’s pretty odd as a show about burlesque: I’m not an expert on the form, but only one minor, male character even takes their clothes off and I’m not convinced NYC dive burlesque bars have ever been a thing. If you want to see a musical show about burlesque – Moulin Rouge! is still pretty mild, but it’s a lot more fun. Basically if you’re a big fan of Todrick Hall, this show will be a real treat for you. Everyone else should approach with extreme caution.
