Anyone seen Burlesque? I would love to know how...

[Wilbur Eddings]

..they got the light so soft and the colours so poppy.

I enjoy that smoky look in arty films and I am about to shoot a musical.

Very tempted to give it a similar look as there is a lot of poetry, ballet and contemporary dancing involved.

Share thy wisdom oh great ones!

A hazer, Diffusion, good lenses, and a great colorist. This is heavily graded. Cookes, or Angeniuex lenses would help too.

If you wanna read about it straight from the horse's mouth (DP Bojan Bazelli), "Burlesque" is covered in great detail in the 2010 december issue of American Cinematographer. The article is not available online so you'll have to purchase a back issue.
