Moulin Rouge! celebrates five years on Broadway

Author KittyKitty, July 25th, 2024

The show celebrates 5 years of dazzling audiences at the Al Hirschfeld Theater

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY MOULIN ROUGE!

Spectacular spectacular! 10-time Tony winner Moulin Rouge! hits five years on Broadway, with over dazzling 1,400 performances! Based on the beloved 2001 Baz Luhrmann film of the same name, this crowd-pleasing big-budget musical extravaganza captures the spirit of the movie and adds updated song and dance numbers, keeping it fresh year after year.

Originally beginning performances in Boston in 2018 after a 2017 workshop, the show moved on to the Great White Way in 2019, with Aaron Tveit and Karen Olivo in the main roles. After winning big at the 2020 Tony Awards (taking home 10 of its original 14 nominations) the show then announced a US tour, now on the way to a stage near you. The rest, as they say, is history!

What is the story?

The year is 1900 and Christian, a young poet and talented writer has come to Paris to pursue a career and become a member of the Bohemian movement there. Christian ends up falling hopelessly in love with Satine, the star of the infamous cabaret at the Moulin Rouge, however, Satine has already been promised to the unscrupulous Duke. A love triangle ensues, as Christian and Satine try to stay together against all odds they are led down a dark and dangerous path but Satine is holding a terrible secret of her own...
