Ali é uma rapariga de uma cidade pequena com uma voz magnífica, que escapa às dificuldades e a um futuro incerto para seguir os seus sonhos até Los Angeles. Após ter descoberto o "The Burlesque Lounge", um teatro majestoso mas em decadência, onde se representa uma revista musical inspirada, Ali arranja um emprego a servir cocktails, que lhe é concedido por Tess, a proprietária do clube e estrela principal. O chocante guarda-roupa do Burlesco e a coreografia arrojada arrebatam a jovem ingénua, que sonha representar nesse teatro um dia.
