The soundtrack includes: Jessie J, Beyoncé, Ariana Grande and Shirley Bassey plusIsabel singing live opera with a naughty twist.
Ed Bartlam and Charlie Wood, Directors of Underbelly, said: “We’re thrilled to welcome the first transfer from Underbelly at the Edinburgh Fringe 2019 to Southbank Festival as our final headliner of this season. Highwire Entertainment’s smash hit Rouge is another example of the exceptional circus currently coming out of Australia – we’re delighted so many international circus troupes call Underbelly their UK home. Rouge is circus like no other – uniquely for adults; it’s fun, flirty and will not be a night you’ll easily forget. London audiences are going to love it”.
