About this listen

 The music writer and vocal slayer on leading the London stage adaptation of Burlesque at the Savoy Theatre as Ali Rose, the thrill of singing signature songs like Tough Lover, Express and Bound to You live each performance (alongside many incredible new songs written exclusively for the musical!) and how there’s no faking it when you’re serving for the gods in a role like this.We also dive into beginning her writing journey with the show at 19, performing Ali live on stage in front of the OG movie star and her vocal idol Christina Aguilera and why she’s here to honour with great love what came before. Plus, we take a little lesson in the history of Burlesque, working with exciting artists like her co-star and director Todrick Hall and why she's proud to sing LOUD!
