Sunderland Empire Theatre
After taking the West End by storm- where it became summer 2025’s biggest hit, selling out night after night – Burlesque: A BIG New Musical is coming to Sunderland in August.
From executive producer Christina Aguilera and written by Steven Antin, Burlesque invites you to a club like no other: a hidden world beneath the city lights where sequins sparkle, seduction shimmers and lives can change in the flick of a feather boa. When Ali arrives in New York searching for the mother she never knew, she stumbles upon a dazzling underground scene alive with music, movement, and mystery. Drawn into this intoxicating world, she begins to uncover her extraordinary voice — and finds an unexpected family of dreamers, misfits and schemers who will change her life forever.
