Moulin Rouge! The Musical, a breathtaking adaptation of Baz Luhrmann’s iconic film, has burst onto the Broadway stage with a flourish of color, music, and pure theatrical magic. From the moment the curtains rise, audiences are transported into the vibrant world of Paris, where love, passion, and ambition collide in a whirlwind of dazzling performances.
I was invited as media to cover this event. All opinions are my own.
Moulin Rouge! The Musical
Enter a world of splendor and romance, eye-popping excess, glitz, grandeur, and glory! A world where Bohemians and aristocrats rub elbows and revel in electrifying enchantment. Welcome to Moulin Rouge! The Musical! Baz Luhrmann’s revolutionary film comes to life onstage, remixed in a new musical mash-up extravaganza. Directed by Tony Award® winner Alex Timbers, Moulin Rouge! The Musical is a theatrical celebration of Truth, Beauty, Freedom, and — above all — Love.
The show is recommended for ages 12+. My personal recommendation is 16+.
While the entire Moulin Rouge! The Musical ensemble delivers powerhouse performances, seamlessly transitioning between roles as dancers, singers, and actors, Christian Douglas is a standout!! He delivers an incredible portrayal as Satine’s lover and his voice is phenomenal. Each cast member brings a unique flair and energy to the stage, elevating the production to new heights.
Of course, no review of Moulin Rouge! The Musical would be complete without mentioning its show-stopping musical numbers. From electrifying renditions of classic pop hits to stirring original compositions, the score is a highlight of the show.
They also spared no cost on the incredible set design. It’s one of the best Broadway sets we’ve ever seen and we have attended many Broadway shows!
Moulin Rouge! The Musical is now playing at the Dr. Phillips Center in Orlando through March 3rd, 2024. Don’t miss this incredible show that’s won 10 Tony Awards including Best Musical!
