This follows the show’s record-breaking previews with over 120k tickets sold, where audiences agreed it’s the most exciting movie musical to come to the stage in decades.
Burlesque the Musical will begin performances at the Savoy Theatre on The Strand on Thursday 10 July 2025 and run until Saturday 6 September 2025. The Gala Night is on Tuesday 22 July at 7pm.

The new musical, written and produced by Steven Antin, with additional material by Kate Wetherhead, is a scintillating journey of self-discovery that absolutely sizzles with songs by Christina Aguilera and Sia, with new music by Todrick Hall and Jess Folley.
Christina Aguilera, Executive Producer of Burlesque the Musical and star of the original film said:
“I’m proud that Burlesque the Musical is coming to London’s West End! Our journey of making this film to bringing this show to the stage has been so special and exciting. Following our successful previews, having the show land in the West End later this year is a dream come true!”
