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.

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.”
