A trailer has been released for the upcoming musical Burlesque, starring Christina Aguilera, Cher and Stanley Tucci. It is directed by Steve Antin and it doesn’t look half bad. A very by-the-numbers rise to fame story, but looks to be done right. It will mark Aguilera’s feature debut and Cher’s first film in seven years. Vlicious has the trailer below.
Plot: An upcoming musical film starring Christina Aguilera, Cher and Stanley Tucci. Christina Aguilera will make her theatrical film and musical debut as the leading character, a “small-town girl with a big voice”, who finds work at a Los Angeles neo-burlesque club, inspired by Bob Fosse’s Cabaret. The film also marks the first starring role in a decade and first musical film for Cher. She plays Tess, a former dancer who struggles to keep the nightclub open and serves as a mentor to Christina Aguilera’s character, Ali. Aguilera’s love interest will be played by Cam Gigandet, and Stanley Tucci has been cast as the nightclub’s manager.
Burlesque hits theaters November 24th.
