Burlesque (2010)

Late to the Party with Nikki & Bri

On today’s episode, we revisit Burlesque, the oft-forgotten guilty pleasure 2010 musical that gave us Wagon Wheel Watusi, Cher giving the best performance of a Diane Warren powerballad (sorry, Celine), and Christina Aguilera acting debut. Topics discussed include: the Pussycat Dolls’ Viper Room inspiration, Coyote Ugly and The Devil Wears Prada comparisons, the palpable connection between Stanley Tucci and Cher, the many Diane Warren bangers that may or may not include Tyra Banks’ 2004 classic Shake Ya Body, Stanley Tucci fresh off his Devil Wears Prada and Julie and Julia, Christina’s Back to Basics era, and more!
