The film, Moulin Rouge, by Baz Luhrmann gained nominations at the 74th Academy Awards and grossed nearly $180 million worldwide. This instant hit musical film about passion and misfortune stayed in our hearts and is now a hit stage production performed around the globe. The Broadway show had a long and rocky start since there were merely whispers of a Broadway adaptation in 2002 and 2006.

The show finally debuted in 2019 but took a year-and-a-half break starting in 2020 thanks to worldwide events, but it has been up and running since mid-2021 with great success.

The story of American composer Christian and courtesan and showgirl Satine will melt your heart.

Satine works at this theater, but it's quickly failing 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.

Of course, the Duke doesn't like the situation and threatens to chancel his investment, and threatens Christian's life if he continues pursuing Satine.
