Burlesque Plot Summary: Ali (
Christina Aguilera) is a small-town girl with a big voice who escapes hardship and an uncertain future to follow her dreams to LA. After stumbling upon The Burlesque Lounge, a majestic but ailing theater that is home to an inspired musical revue, Ali lands a job as a cocktail waitress from Tess (
Cher), the club's proprietor and headliner. Burlesque's outrageous costumes and bold choreography enrapture the young ingenue, who vows to perform there one day.
Soon enough, Ali builds a friendship with a featured dancer (

Kristen Bell), and garners the affection of Jack (
Cam Gigandet), a bartender and fellow musician. With the help of a sharp-witted stage manager (
Stanley Tucci) and gender-bending host (
Alan Cumming), Ali makes her way from the bar to the stage. Her spectacular voice restores The Burlesque Lounge to its former glory, though not before a charismatic entrepreneur (
Eric Dane) arrives with an enticing proposal...
