BURLESQUE THE MUSICAL celebrates UK tour launch as London return moves to 2027
Producers of Burlesque the Musical are delighted to confirm that the show’s highly anticipated UK tour will officially launch this summer, with almost 90,000 tickets already sold and almost £4 million in advance box office.
Following final technical preparations, the production will now officially open in Sunderland, before visiting 24 venues across the United Kingdom.
To give the creative team the time needed to deliver the spectacular production of Burlesque the Musical audiences adore, their planned opening performances in Woking will move to 3-7 November. Audiences holding tickets for the original performances will be contacted by their point of sale regarding exchanges or refunds.
The UK tour marks the beginning of an exciting new global chapter for Burlesque the Musical, with additional international productions already in the pipeline, including Australia, together with Germany, Austria and Switzerland in Europe, with further international announcements expected in the coming months. The future of Burlesque has never been brighter, and we look forward to sharing the next stage of that journey with audiences around the world.
The producers have confirmed that the tour is fully financed and on a secure footing, as verified by third parties, allowing the company to focus entirely on delivering the highest-quality production possible for audiences nationwide.
The producers have also confirmed that Burlesque the Musical’s planned London engagement will now take place in 2027. They said: “This is absolutely a postponement, not a cancellation. We are already exploring opportunities for a major London return in 2027 and look forward to announcing our future West End home in due course. This is a strategic decision designed to ensure the production returns to London exactly as we want it to… with all the fabulosity, concert-like experiential quality and razzle-dazzle that our audiences deserve!”
The producers are proud supporters and investors in The Arts at Marble Arch: powered by TodayTix, having invested a substantial sum in its development. They continue to believe strongly in its future and are delighted to see it successfully welcoming audiences, with productions such as Heathers enjoying an excellent run.
The producers stated: “The relationship with the theatre is important to us. We backed the vision for The Arts Theatre at Marble Arch because we believed London deserved another exciting commercial theatre, and we remain incredibly proud to have played a part in helping bring it to life.”
The producers would like to thank the show’s audiences, cast, creative team, investors, partners and supporters for their continued belief in Burlesque.
They look forward to welcoming audiences across the UK throughout the tour before bringing the production back to London in 2027 as one of the world’s most celebrated musical brands.
