Musical adaptation of the 2010 film Burlesque, with songs by Christina Aguilera, Sia and Diane Warren, directed and choreographed by Nick Winston.
Burlesque The Musical plays at The Congress Theatre from 9 to 13 February 2027, a short run that brings the 2010 film to the stage. Christina Aguilera is executive producer and Steven Antin is credited as writer. It follows Ali, who arrives in New York searching for the mother she never knew and stumbles into a dazzling underground club scene, where she discovers an extraordinary voice and an unexpected family of dreamers, misfits and schemers.
The score blends the film's star power with new material: songs by Christina Aguilera, Sia and Diane Warren sit alongside numbers by Todrick Hall and Jess Folley. Nick Winston directs and choreographs. The production is billed as a big new musical that took the West End by storm as the biggest hit of summer 2025, and the Eastbourne run is recommended for ages 12 and over.
