Musical stage adaptation of the hit film Burlesque, with songs by Christina Aguilera, Sia and Diane Warren, directed and choreographed by Nick Winston.
Burlesque comes to Hull New Theatre from Tuesday 2 to Saturday 6 March 2027, a five-day run that brings the stage adaptation of the movie to the city. It's produced by Christina Aguilera, who also executive produced the film, and written by Steven Antin, with additional material by Kate Wetherhead and direction and choreography by Nick Winston.
The story follows Ali, who arrives in New York searching for the mother she never knew and stumbles upon a dazzling underground club world of music, movement and mystery. There, she discovers her own extraordinary voice and an unexpected family of dreamers, misfits and schemers. The show was the West End's biggest hit of summer 2025, selling out night after night and picking up praise from critics along the way: London Theatre called it 'Irresistible' and 'A must-see show', and The Telegraph labelled it 'A hit'.
The cast is a good mix of faces you might recognise. Faye Brookes, known from Coronation Street and Chicago, plays Tess Richarde, while Ryan Carter, from Titanique and Ain't Too Proud, takes on the double role of Sean and Ms Loretta. Gracie O'Brien plays Ali Rose, and Davide Fienauri, of Kiss of the Spider Woman and Moulin Rouge, is Vince. Tyler Davis, from Sunset Blvd and Back To The Future, plays Jackson, and Vanessa Ela Young, who appeared in The Drifters Girl and Moulin Rouge, is Nikki. The score pairs powerhouse songs by Christina Aguilera, Sia and Diane Warren with new numbers from Todrick Hall and Jess Folley.
