Why see Burlesque?
World Premiere
Welcome to Burlesque! The iconic 2010 film is shimmying from the screen to the stage in this brand-new musical adaption from original screenwriter Steve Atin. Set in a struggling Las Vegas burlesque lounge at the mercy of big-shot developers, the titular Burlesque is a titillating tale of rivalries, relationships, and revelry as witnessed by Sin City newbie Ali. With her own dreams of stardom propelling her forward, can her talents help to keep the club afloat?
Featuring songs from the movie's star Christina Aguilera (who also executive produces), SIA and Dianne Warren, plus a creative team that includes direction and choreography from Nick Winston, it's time to dig out your stockings and feather boas and show a little more for this exciting world premiere production! Starring Jackie Burns as Tess and Jess Folley as Ali, this is one you don't want to miss!

Just magical
Booked pre sale tickets back in October 2023 for my best buddies and me to celebrate my sixtieth birthday. Eight lovely ladies/girls from several generations thoroughly enjoyed the musical, some of which had never seen the film!🥹 made a long weekend of it with lots of pre show celebrations enhancing Manchester’s economy. The Ivy Asia was our pre show venue. Top Class meal with excellent hospitality. Let’s just say Manchester did not disappoint. As for the musical Oh my what a fantastic performance from all the cast members. All of the authentic songs and performances with loads of extra more current numbers which made it all the more special. Brought it right up there into the 2020s. Definitely had Christina vibes and Todrick was just fantastic. Set changes were great too. Would watch it again in a heartbeat 💓 It certainly made my birthday celebrations very special and I have lots of great memories and photos. Just bring out the video and sound track now please ...
