The film can now be streamed online and through the Tubi TV app on supported devices.

Burlesque was a passion project for writer and director Steve Antin, who drew inspiration from his love of classic Hollywood musicals. Antin spent years developing the film, which he envisioned as a modern-day take on the genre. He also had a clear vision for the film's aesthetic, which combined vintage glamour with contemporary flair.

The film's production design and costume design teams worked tirelessly to bring Antin's vision to life, creating a stunning visual feast that transports viewers to the dazzling world of burlesque. 

In her review for The Guardian, Catherine Shoard said: "What do Cher and Christina Aguilera share, other than top billing in this double diva musical? Foghorn vocals, for a start: a large part of Burlesque sounds like whales stuck in traffic. Immobile faces, also: Cher's has been sanded into death mask perfection, while Aguilera's seems simply glazed with vacuity, frozen in a semi-pout, half-human, half-dolly, unshakably impassive beneath a permanently sunlit bouffant."
