Welcome to the Moulin Rouge! The stage adaptation of Baz Luhrmann’s Oscar-winning film reimagines the 2001 movie, which grossed over $179 million worldwide and earned Catherine Martin two Academy Awards for Costume Design and Production Design. Written for the stage by John Logan, directed by Alex Timbers, and choreographed by Sonya Tayeh, the Broadway production premiered in 2018 at Boston’s Emerson Colonial Theatre before transferring to New York’s Al Hirschfeld Theatre in 2019.
At the 2021 Tony Awards, Moulin Rouge! The Musical on Broadway swept with 10 wins, including Best Musical, Best Direction, Best Choreography, Best Costume Design, and Best Orchestrations. The original cast featured Aaron Tveit (Tony winner for his role as Christian), Karen Olivo as Satine, and Danny Burstein, who earned his first Tony after six nominations as the show’s flamboyant host, Harold Zidler.
The production’s design, led by Derek McLane’s lavish sets, Catherine Zuber’s glittering costumes, and Justin Townsend’s dynamic lighting, immerses audiences in a kaleidoscope of color, rhythm, and romance. With its powerhouse creative team and a soundtrack spanning five decades of pop culture, Moulin Rouge! proves that “the greatest thing you’ll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.”
Storyline
Set in the Montmartre Quarter of Paris at the turn of the 20th century, Moulin Rouge! The Musical on Broadway follows Christian, a young American writer searching for inspiration, who falls in love with Satine, the star courtesan of the Moulin Rouge cabaret. But Satine has been promised to the Duke of Monroth, whose fortune is meant to save the club from ruin. Torn between passion and survival, Christian and Satine’s secret romance defies fate and wealth, until tragedy forces a heart-wrenching choice.

Nothing to criticize about the show itself! Incredible energy, magical sets and incredible voices! I'm taking off one star because the theater really isn't adapted... I had a tall person in front of me, and normally that's not a problem when the seats are raised, but here the seats were almost at the same height (no slope), so I saw almost nothing of the first part....

The play was amazing and the characters very talented. The theatre was at full capacity and attentive. This was my first time attending a broadway play in New York City and I am very happy and grateful for the experience. The purchasing of tickets in advance was easy and download to my phone and gaining entrance to the theatre was a breeze. I'll hope to repeat a similar experience in the future.
