After taking the West End by storm — where it became summer 2025’s biggest hit, selling out night after night — Burlesque A BIG New Musical is coming to Cardiff in September.

From executive producer Christina Aguilera and written by Steven Antin, Burlesque invites you to a club like no other: a hidden world beneath the city lights where sequins sparkle, seduction shimmers and lives can change in the flick of a feather boa.

"A must-see show"

London Theatre Reviews

When Ali arrives in New York searching for the mother she never knew, she stumbles upon a dazzling underground scene alive with music, movement, and mystery. Drawn into this intoxicating world, she begins to uncover her extraordinary voice — and finds an unexpected family of dreamers, misfits and schemers who will change her life forever.

Burlesque is a scintillating journey of self-discovery that absolutely sizzles, featuring powerhouse songs by Christina Aguilera, Sia and Diane Warren, alongside thrilling new numbers from Todrick Hall and Jess Folley.

Written by Steven Antin, who also wrote and directed the original 2010 Burlesque movie.

Executive produced by Christina Aguilera, bringing her star power, musical legacy and commitment to the show.

Songs by Christina Aguilera, Sia and Diane Warren, with new numbers by Todrick Hall and Jess Folley.
