Moulin Rouge – The Musical at Al Hirschfeld Theatre

The 2001 Baz Luhrmann film, Moulin Rouge gained nominations at the 74th Academy Awards, grossing nearly $180 million worldwide. This instant hit musical film about romance and risks wasn't forgotten and is now a hit jukebox musical performed around the world. The Broadway show took years in the making since there were merely whispers of a Broadway adaptation in 2002 and 2006.

Christian meets talented French Bohemians who want to create songs for a theatrical production and agree to partner with him to get their play into production at the Moulin Rouge theater. Satine works at this theater, but it's quickly going under and could close forever. Satine wants to save the Moulin Rouge and considers seducing a wealthy Duke who has shown interest in investing in the theater to save it. However, Satine and Christian cross paths and fall in love.
