Burlesque the Musical to return to London this autumn

Burlesque the Musical will return to London this autumn.

The musical is based on the film starring Christina Aguilera and Cher and is written and directed by Steven Antin. It follows two runs in Manchester and a season in Glasgow, as well as a sold-out limited season at the Savoy Theatre.

The story centres on Ali, who travels to New York in search of her mother and becomes immersed in an underground club scene. West End stars Jess Folley and Asha Parker-Wallace were nominated for WhatsOnStage Awards for their turns in the original seasons.

It will be staged in the new 550-seat Arts at Marble Arch, which was unveiled earlier this week. 

Previews begin on Saturday 12 September 2026 and performances are currently booking until Sunday 31 January 2027.

At the same time, a second production will launch a UK tour, opening at the New Victoria Theatre, Woking. We’ve covered that in more detail here.

Burlesque the Musical features songs by Aguilera, Sia, Diane Warren, Folley and Todrick Hall.

Aguilera serves as executive producer alongside Adam Paulden, Jason Haigh-Ellery, Antin, Clint Culpepper and In Fine Company. Cast and creative team details are yet to be announced.

Performances will take place from Tuesday to Saturday at 7.30pm, with additional matinees on Saturday at 3pm and Sunday at 2pm and 7pm.

Tickets will be available in due course.
