Following a critically acclaimed five-star run at the Savoy Theatre, Burlesque the Musical brings its high-glamour spectacle to The Arts at Marble Arch for a strictly limited season. In a world hidden beneath the city lights, where everything shimmers with seduction, Ali sets out to find her mother and instead discovers an underground club alive with sultry music and hypnotic dance — and a place where she might finally belong. Based on the 2010 film directed by Steve Antin and starring Christina Aguilera and Cher, the story follows a small-town dreamer who finds herself at a struggling Los Angeles burlesque lounge run by the formidable Tess. A box-office hit earning over $90 million worldwide, the film is celebrated for its powerhouse vocals and electrifying soundtrack, including ‘Express,’ ‘Something’s Got a Hold on Me,’ and ‘Welcome to Burlesque.’
