Moulin Rouge - The Musical

Al Hirschfeld Theatre

In 2019, premiering at the Al Hirschfeld theatre, the 2001 film Moulin Rouge was transformed into the iconic live performance in Broadway. Originally produced by Baz Luhrmann, it was performed beautifully by famous cast members such as Aaron Tveit and Karen Olivo, who originated the roles of Christian and Satine respectively, and creative experts including director Alex Timbers and music numbers and creations by Justine Levine, behind the curtain.

Moulin Rouge! The Musical is a show exemplifying young passion, love, and loss that shows us all four Bohemian values of truth, beauty, freedom, and love. At the end of the 19th century and at the pinnacle of Bohemianism, during the period of La Belle Époque, Christian, an American writer and composer, looks for his path to success. He dreams to begin a chance to succeed as a writer and journeys to Montmartre, Paris, where he meets two new friends, Lautrec and Santiago, who tell him to create a musical that they can flaunt. It is in the underworld of Moulin Rouge where he meets Satine, the star of the Moulin Rouge that he wishes to get to know more. Their forbidden romance however meets a haughty competitor in the form of the rich and powerful Duke of Monroth, who is promised Satine by the nightclub’s proprietor Harold Zidler, in agreement for a considerable financial expenditure to keep Moulin Rouge afloat and improve the nightclub's standing. So starts Christian and Satine’s struggle for love on the Broadway stage.

Fundamentally a love story that remains a sure favorite in current times, the musical is also a combination of both old and new music, putting together songs not just from the original film adaptation, but also musical mash-ups and medleys from popular songs that were interlaced into the plot of the play.

Moulin Rouge! The Musical will be available for a limited season on October at Friday 3rd October 2025, at Al Hirschfeld Theatre.
