What Is Burlesque the Musical About?
Burlesque the Musical is based on the Golden Globe-nominated 2010 film starring Christina Aguilera and Cher. Written by Steven Antin with additional material by Kate Wetherhead, the stage version moves the story from Los Angeles to New York City, giving the plot a grittier edge and a deeper emotional core.
The story follows Ali, a young woman who leaves her small town and heads to New York in search of the mother she never knew. She stumbles into a dazzling underground club alive with music, movement and mystery, and is drawn into an intoxicating world where she begins to uncover her extraordinary voice. Along the way, she finds an unexpected family of dreamers, misfits and schemers who will change her life forever.
Burlesque the Musical at The Arts at Marble Arch
After a completely sold-out, critically acclaimed run at the Savoy Theatre in summer 2025, Burlesque returns to London at The Arts at Marble Arch for a strictly limited season from 12 September 2026 to 31 January 2027. The Arts at Marble Arch is a purpose-built 550-seat theatre located between Oxford Street and Park Lane, serving as a temporary home for the Arts Theatre during its refurbishment. The intimate setting suits the show's nightclub atmosphere perfectly.
Christina Aguilera serves as executive producer, and the show features powerhouse songs she originally performed in the film alongside tracks by Sia and Diane Warren. Thrilling new numbers by Todrick Hall and Jess Folley were written specifically for the stage production, giving the score a fresh energy that goes well beyond a jukebox setlist.
Why Book Burlesque the Musical Tickets with tickadoo?
The original West End run sold over 120,000 tickets and earned a WhatsOnStage Award, so this return engagement is expected to sell quickly. The 550-seat venue is considerably smaller than the Savoy, which means fewer tickets per performance and higher demand for prime seats.
