Directed by WilLiam Baker, the show is running at the Garrick Theatre from 3 March - 1 May 2011, with press night on Friday 11 March. The Hurly Burly Show® has musical direction by Steve Anderson, choreography by Ashley Wallen, vocal arrangements by Terry Ronald and lighting by Nick Whitehouse. The Hurly Burly Show ® is produced in the West End by AEG Live and Steve Dixon.

The Hurly Burly Show®, starring Miss Polly Rae, is an all singing, all dancing burlesque inspired revue with a contemporary twist, magically fusing the traditions of burlesque and bawdy cabaret with modern day fashion, music and popular culture. With spectacular costumes, sets and lighting, the beautiful Miss Polly Rae and her six Hurly Burly Girlys elegantly focus on the tease and take audiences on a unique, provocative journey full of wit, joie de vivre, and celebration of the female form.

Vocalist, songwriter and pianist Spencer Day has released three albums Introducing Spencer Day, Movie of Your Life and Vagabond. The former largely focuses on him performing traditional jazz, whereas Movie of Your Life features his own songs. The title track won the San Francisco Academy of Art University's 2005 competition for best original song and was consequently used by Dolby to launch their Dolby 7.1 system. Later that year, Day collaborated with actor Rafe Chase on a twenty song musical revue, Someday Love, which premiered at San Francisco's New Conservatory Theatre Center in which he also appeared. Day's most recent album, Vagabond was released by the Concord Music Group, and reached number eleven on the Billboard chart, where it stayed for 47 weeks. HHis single Till You Come To Me later peaked at number three on the Billboard chart and was the number one most played song on Smooth AC radio in 2010. Spencer has opened for Rufus Wainwright at the Napa Valley Opera House and has appeared at the Monterey Jazz Festival as well as the Tanglewood Jazz Festival.
