Discover a club like no other… a place beneath the city lights where sequins sparkle, seduction shimmers, and a life can change in the flick of a feather boa.
When Ali heads to New York City in search of her mother, she finds herself drawn into a dazzling underground world of music and dance that will change her life forever. A scintillating journey of self-discovery that absolutely sizzles with songs by Christina Aguilera, Sia and Diane Warren, alongside additional songs by Todrick Hall and Jess Folley.
With humour that is almost inconceivably up to date – there are references to the couple caught kissing at a recent Coldplay gig, and Baby Reindeer jokes – the night is a flat-out riot. Burlesque is already a cult classic, but this is a glow-up of the highest order. Twenty minutes could be shaved off the running time, and the resolve comes out of nowhere, but it would take industrial-strength scepticism not to fall for this glitter-ordained marvel. If this doesn’t show you how to burlesque, god knows what will.
It is over-adrenalised and messy in its plotting, but you forgive the blips. This is a production stuffed with personality, spectacle and wow factor. Come for the nostalgia, perhaps, but stay for the new kicks: bigger, naughtier and camp as hell.
