About the Show

A world premiere musical based on Baz Luhrmann’s Oscar-winning film, featuring its iconic songs.

This lavish production set in Paris at the turn of the century follows Satine, the most desired dancer at the Moulin Rouge, Harold Ziedler, the host, who wants to to save it from financial ruin, and Christian, a penniless writer, who falls in love with Satine.

With a mix of modern pop hits, such as Katy Perry's 'Firework' and Gaga's 'Bad Romance,' and songs from the original movie.

Moulin Rouge! The Musical won 10 Tony Awards in 2021, including Best Musical and Best Choreography (by Sonya Tayeh of 'So You Think You Can Dance'). The West End transfer of 'Moulin Rouge! The Musical' received an Olivier Award for Best Costume Design.

★★★★ "Red alert! Red alert! If you're the kind of person who frets that jukebox musicals are taking over Broadway, prepare to tilt at the windmill that is the gorgeous, gaudy, spectacularly overstuffed 'Moulin Rouge! The Musical.' Directed with opulent showmanship by Alex Timbers, this adaptation of Baz Luhrmann's 2001 movie may be costume jewelry, but its shine is dazzling."

"A Millennial Reboot of Chekhov, and 'Moulin Rouge!' on Broadway. Halley Feiffer translates 'Three Sisters' into Internet-speak, and Baz Luhrmann’s glitzy movie comes into its own onstage."
