A small town singer, Ali (Christina Aguilera), moves to the big city for her chance at stardom where she is enchanted by Burlesque, a glamorous nightclub packed with dancers, sizzling music, and an owner (Cher) in need of a star. This very campy musical was mostly panned by critics but struck a chord with audiences who felt its feelgood factor, songs, and spirit to overcome its flaws and turn it into a fun, guilty-pleasure viewing experience.

This is the second Divas Do Film screening. It will be followed by a panel with curator Rōgan Graham discussing how some elements in the film connect with wider themes, such as the future of music venues and the destruction of London nightlife by greedy landlords.

We encourage the audience to sing along to the film's tunes!
