Synopsis:

This edit aims to expand and enhance BURLESQUE by adding in the deleted musical numbers, restoring the deleted shots which were removed to get a sanitised PG-13 rating, restoring the opening sequence that was dumped prior to release, and creating a new transition sequence to get to the theatre in a slightly less rushed fashion. Some cheese was inevitable trimmed. Alan Cummings musical number is restored to this version. Some sequences were re-ordered and individual shots also re-ordered in places for flow, pace, transition and dramatic effect.

Intentions:

To remove cheese, add back in some naughty shots, extend the misical number, add a deleted song and generall have less cringe.
