Get to Know Our Shows: Moulin Rouge! The Musical

Pop the champagne! Moulin Rouge! The Musical isn’t just a stage version of the beloved Baz Luhrmann film — it’s a full-throttle Broadway experience that explodes with color, music, and emotion the moment you walk through the theater doors.

Set in the Montmartre Quarter of Paris in 1899, this Tony Award-winning spectacle follows the passionate love story of a young writer, Christian, and a dazzling performer, Satine. What makes this musical soar is its theatrical reimagining: not only does it remix favorite songs from the movie like “Come What May,” it layers in more than 70 iconic hits from artists like Adele, Beyoncé, Sia, Rihanna, and Lady Gaga.

A Remix Like No Other: With 75 songs from 165 songwriters, this is not your average jukebox musical. It’s a mash-up masterpiece with genre-defying arrangements that surprise and delight at every turn.

A Theater Lover’s Dream: The onstage experience is immersive and breathtaking. From the extravagant costumes by Catherine Zuber to Derek McLane’s lush scenic design, every detail evokes the bohemian spirit of Truth, Beauty, Freedom, and — above all — Love.
