CABARET NEW BURLESQUE is coming to town for three performances only. These internationally renowned burlesque performers will thrill, tease and astound London audiences with their unique take on burlesque, infused with comedy and seductive glamour. The performances are Tuesday 11, Wednesday 12 and Thursday 13 October at 10pm at the Charing Cross Theatre.

A whirlwind of excess, extravagant costumes, stilettos and big songs, CABARET NEW BURLESQUE is wild, sexy and really raunchy!
