Welcome to Burlesque the Musical, the glamorous, gritty and outrageously fun new musical based on the much-loved hit movie.

Please don't freak out too hard, but it's officially the opening night of #BurlesqueTheMusical 🔥

While we wait for the curtain to rise, let's have a cheeky look at the process of choreographing for this BIG show with our Associate Choreographers Ryan-Lee Seager & Libby Watts 🤩 pic.twitter.com/ZE6ShuMAzG

Written by Steven Antin, with additional material by Kate Wetherhead, and directed and choreographed by Nick Winston, BURLESQUE THE MUSICAL is a scintillating journey of self-discovery that absolutely sizzles with songs by Christina Aguilera, Sia and Diane Warren, alongside additional songs by Jess Folley.

Following an unprecedented sold-out season at Manchester Opera House in June, the production will make its Scottish Premiere in Glasgow in September, and return to the Manchester Opera House in October, prior to a West End transfer.

Co-producer Christina Aguilera was notably absent for the premiere. She was seen with RAYE performing in a private event in Morocco. Whoever booked them said vocalists only.
