Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Even the dances feel cozily dated, as choreographers Denise Faye and Joey Pizzi borrow liberally from Bob Fosse.

Burlesque manages what seemed impossible: It is filled with half-naked dancing girls, yet it's still boring.

Try to make 'Showgirls' for 12 year olds and you please no one. What a tease.

Has the glitz and allure of a Victoria's Secret ad. What it doesn't have is an imaginative reinvention of the show-biz cliches that have so adamantly inspired it.

rotten:
If you go to Burlesque expecting a campy hoot on the order of Showgirls, you may be in for a disappointment. It's not quite awful enough, although it's plenty bad.
