002 Custom credits added to the unfinnished opening
003 The new opening required somelens flair and lighting work to bring it into consitent shape

006 at 22:32 some additionaldialogue and shots added to the extended musical number that follows.

010 at 1:04:42 a big CA song required extnsive editing to use all the deleted material while re-inserting the story points from the theartical version for story advancement
011 at 1:11:26 a simialr approach for another a big CA song required extensive editing to use all the deleted material while re-inserting the story points from the theartical version for story advancement including some very fiddly audio work for ambien sounds
012 at 1:25:36 alan cummings deleted song is re-enstated …why would you cast someone like him and drop his big scene!!!!

Burlesque is far from a perfect film, but it is one of my favourite feel good films! Always put this on for a good time! Now, when I seen that Wraith had done this version, I needed to see it... and boy... it did NOT disappoint!!
The additional scenes integrate perfectly, with some nifty editing by Wraith! The extended and new musical numbers are brilliant! Seeing both Alan Cumming's numbers is fantastic! His full musical set with the dancers and his own version of That's Life, blend seamlessly into the film. We do have to watch his dancers number twice. but the second time is shorter and with a few different angles, however this can't really be avoided but it didn't distract from the film at all!
This could basically be a directors cut of the movie, and it is definitely going to be the way I watch this going forward!
This movie is a SD movie, which might be jarring when you first put it on. But after about 5/10 minutes, I barely noticed. If you like Burlesque, and even if you didn't, give this movie a watch. It feels much more complete than the official version and is definitely worth a viewing!

this is one of my wife's favorite movies, we went and seen it in the movies.
i didn't mind it but i felt it could have been better. so i got this sunset strip cut to see how it would come out and to get me some Browne points with the wife.
the brownie points worked as it is better with the extended songs(except the wife sings to them all)
the editing is seamless and audio editing is as good as you can get as i did not notice any problems the quality is DVD no problems there.
this is a recommended edit and i enjoyed it a lot

the first time i tried to watch this movie, the studio version, (with my wife) i fell asleep. i'm in love with cAguilera and i still couldn't stay awake. when i read about Wraith's version i was looking forward to the excuse to try watching it again. i was not disappointed. the changes and the quicker pace did help to keep me awake 'till the end.
i watched it compressed to a single layer dvd which was my choice so i can't say anything about the A/V quality. the Vid and Aud work was also flawless, no problems there.
while i really enjoyed the uninterrupted Alan Cumming routine was nice, but seeing it pop up again later on was off putting. but easily explained as a different night, same performance just like any other theater house. and its the part my wife didn't like much either, but she did see that there wasn't much way around it.
other than that small and pretty nit-picky thing, the edit was fantastic. and i appreciate the work that went into it.
