Todrick Hall will direct and choreograph the West End premiere of Burlesque the Musical this summer.
As one of the world's most high profile and prolific storytellers with over 9 million followers across several platforms, Todrick has collaborated with some of the biggest superstars, including Beyonce, Taylor Swift and Billy Porter (Cabaret).
His stage credits include performing in the original Broadway casts of The Color Purple and Memphis. On the UK stage, he performed in the West End production of Chicago and last year performed in Shrek The Musical.
Todrick will be joined on the creative team by Steven Antin (Book Writer/Producer), Christina Aguilera, Sia, Todrick Hall & Jess Folley (Music and Lyrics) and Kate Wetherhead (Additional material – Book) will be announced in due course, as well as the cast for the production this summer.
The musical follows Ali, who heads to New York in search of her mother, where she is drawn into the underground world of burlesque. She discovers her extraordinary talent and forms a family with a collective of misfits, dreamers, and schemers.
Burlesque The Musical will play from 10 July - 6 September 2025 at the Savoy Theatre. It follows Mean Girls The Musical , which plays its final performance on 8 June 2025.
