Burlesque The Musical is coming to Aylesbury

Prepare yourself for a dazzling night of music, glamour and theatrical fun when Burlesque The Musical arrives at Aylesbury Waterside Theatre(17–21 November), following its hugely successful West End run.

Inspired by the hit film starring Christina Aguilera and Cher, this spectacular stage production transports audiences into the glittering world of an underground New York nightclub, where sequins sparkle, feathers fly and the entertainment is turned up to full volume.

The story follows Ali, a young woman who arrives in New York searching for the mother she never knew and discovers a hidden world of dazzling performers, larger-than-life characters and unforgettable music. Finding herself drawn into the club's colourful community, Ali begins to discover her own extraordinary voice, newfound confidence and an unexpected sense of belonging.

But it's the spectacular production that really brings the show to life. Expect breathtaking choreography, extravagant costumes, sensational dance routines and powerhouse vocals, all wrapped up in a deliciously glamorous mix of drama, humour and show-stopping entertainment.

The soundtrack combines music from Christina Aguilera, Sia and Diane Warren with exciting new numbers from Todrick Hall and Jess Folley. Fans of the original film will recognise favourites including Show Me How You Burlesque, Express and Bound to You, alongside fresh material created especially for the stage.

Leading the touring cast is Faye Brookes (Coronation Street, Chicago) as club owner Tess, with rising star Gracie O'Brien taking on the central role of Ali Rose. The production has already attracted enthusiastic reviews, with critics describing it as "WOW", "Unmissable" and "Irresistible".

Whether you're a fan of the original movie or simply looking for an entertaining night out packed with fabulous music, extraordinary performances and plenty of sparkle, Burlesque promises to deliver a theatrical experience with real attitude.
