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, this jukebox musical currently stars Emmy-nominee Tituss Burgess ('Schmigadoon').

'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.

Spectacular, Immersive, Absorbing, Enchanting, Entertaining

Dizzying, Great staging, Great singing, Entertaining, Enchanting

See it if an eye and ear candy - wonderful vocals, beautiful set, dazzling costumes and lighting. How the songs are mashed in one number is clever

Intense, Masterful, Must see, Romantic, Riveting

See it if You like big spectacles, crazy love stories, unbelievable dancing, high energy and want to see one of the most immersive sets on Broadway

Don't see it if You’re not willing to give a jukebox musical a fair chance, you want a serious show/a show to take itself seriously, you’re a movie purist

Delightful, Romantic, Must see, Great staging, Great singing

See it if Jammed to the max with joyful singing and dancing set to pop songs you (may) know. The costumes, singing, and dancing are all gorgeous.

Don't see it if Annoyed by an endless reel of cutesy pop songs weaved into a cheesy romance with paper thin characters. Older folks may not know the songs. Read more

Epic, Entertaining, Indulgent, Great staging, Absorbing

See it if Perfect mix of grand numbers with tender moments. Score was all songs you will know all the words to. Slowly becoming a staple on Broadway!

Don't see it if honestly can’t think of a reason to skip this one.

Chills!, Great singing, Great staging, Entertaining, Enchanting

See it if You want an entertaining, amazing spectacular show. If you liked the movie, this is 1000 times more enchanting!

Don't see it if You need original music, dislike having pop song mash ups on Broadway. Want an original plot Read more

Great staging, Great singing, Funny, Entertaining

See it if you want to be entertained! The show is based off of the film but inserts more modern songs. The singing and set are PHENOM!

Don't see it if You need something with a little bit more depth. It's a very FUN show but not a thought-provoking one.
