BURLESQUE THE MUSICAL Postpones Launch of UK Tour for a Third Time
The production was previously set to open on August 13, after being pushed multiple times.
The UK tour of Burlesque The Musical has postponed its opening for a third time. Sunderland Empire released a statement, "“The team behind the show is working hard to resolve the issues and anticipates that Burlesque will open on Friday 14th August." Producers also revealed, “due to technical difficulties, tonight’s performance [13th August] cannot go ahead”.
Burlesque The Musical previously postponed its London production, and delayed the opening of its UK tour, announcing that the touring production would launch in Sunderland on August 6, instead of the previously announced opening engagement in Woking. BroadwayWorld then learned that tickets were no longer available to purchase for August 6-12, delaying the start of performances by another week.
