Burlesque the Musical is heading out on a UK tour this year, which includes a London return at the new Arts at the Marble Arch Theatre.
The tour will kick off in Woking on July 25, with further stops including Sunderland, Stoke-on-Trent, Cardiff, Glasgow, Bradford, Southend-on-Sea, Birmingham, Sheffield, High Wycombe, Aylesbury, Liverpool, Leeds, Hull and Wimbledon through to May 2027.
Additionally, the musical will play at the new Arts at the Marble Arch Theatre from September 12, 2026 – January 31, 2027. The 550-seat venue will be a new semi-permanent theatre located at Marble Arch, whilst the current Arts Theatre is closed for major works.
This stint at the temporary venue marks Burlesque the Musical‘s return to London, following a limited run at the Savoy Theatre last year. The tour itself comes after two runs in Manchester and a season in Glasgow.
The original runs of Burlesque featured trailblazing West End star Jess Folley as Ali, with Todrick Hall directing, choreographing, AND starring in the show. Cast and creatives for the tour and new London run will be announced in due course.
Based on the film starring Christina Aguilera and Cher, Burlesque the Musical tells the story of Ali, a small-town girl with big dreams who, whilst searching for her birth mother, becomes immersed in the nightclub scene and truly finds her voice. The musical features songs by Christina, Sia, Diane Warren, Jess, and Todrick.
