Burlesque the Musical London run postponed to 2027
Burlesque the Musical has postponed its London opening to 2027 and pushed back the UK tour schedule, with Sunderland set to start the tour and Woking’s engagement moved to November, while producers emphasize this is a postponement, not a cancellation. The tour launch is buoyed by strong demand, with nearly 90,000 tickets sold and about £4 million in advance, and a plan to find a new West End home as London’s engagement is rescheduled for 2027.
