Burlesque is stunning (costumes, set, make-up) is astounding musically, showcases talented dancers, and has a promising cast.It is without question the BEST musical of the year!
Ali (
Christina Aguilera) is a small-town Iowa girl with a big voice who escapes hardship and an uncertain future to follow her dreams to LA. After stumbling upon The Burlesque Lounge, the club is co-owned by Tess (
Cher) and her ex-husband Vince (
Peter Gallagher) a majestic but ailing theater that is home to an inspired musical revue, Ali lands a job as a cocktail waitress . Burlesque's outrageous costumes and bold choreography enrapture Ali, who vows to perform there one day. Soon enough, Ali builds a friendship with a featured dancer, finds an enemy and wins the affection of Jack (
Cam Gigandet), a bartender and fellow musician. With the help of a sharp-witted stage manager Alexis (
Alan Cummings) and gender-bending host Sean (
Stanly Tucci) , Ali makes her way from the bar to the stage. Her AMAZING voice restores The Burlesque Lounge to its former glory, though not before a
entrepreneur arrives with an enticing proposal.

Girls Line Amazing vocals and it has Cam(Yummy).
Guyz Line: Christina Do I have to say anymore.
