Burlesque Musical UK Tour Delayed to 2027
23 Jul
Summary
- London opening and UK tour postponed until 2027.
- Set delivery issues caused rehearsals on an empty stage.
- Woking dates rescheduled to November, tour starts in Sunderland.
The London premiere of "Burlesque the Musical," originally slated for September 12, 2026, at the new Arts venue, has been rescheduled to 2027. Producers assured that this is a postponement, not a cancellation, emphasizing the show's ongoing strong momentum. The U.K. tour, initially set to begin this weekend, July 25, in Woking, has also been significantly delayed.
Concerns arose as set deliveries were pending, leading to rehearsals on an empty stage and cancellations of casual staff shifts. A representative for the production confirmed that the Woking dates are now postponed to November. The tour is expected to commence in Sunderland, which was previously the second stop, in August. The musical previously had runs in Manchester, Glasgow, and London's West End in 2024, with a European tour planned for next year.
