History of Moulin Rouge
Moulin Rouge! The Musical is a bold and vibrant stage adaptation of the 2001 film masterpiece directed by Australian Baz Luhrmann.

Today, this story is brought to life on the Broadway stage, taking the essence of the film to new heights and offering audiences a unique experience.
After a promising debut in Boston in 2018, this production then made the leap to New York in 2019, where it has become one of the most sought-after shows of the moment. Moulin Rouge! The Musical has won 10 prestigious Tony Awards, including Best Musical. A well-deserved accolade that testifies to the quality and charm of this unique theatrical experience.

Performed at the legendary Al Hirschfeld Theatre, Moulin Rouge! The Musical takes audiences into a spellbinding world of 19th-century Paris. The theatre transports audiences directly into the electrifying atmosphere of Montmartre, in the famous cabaret founded by Charles Zidler, renowned for its lively melodies and the legendary French Cancan.
It tells the story of the passionate love affair between Christian, a talented British writer, and Satine, a seductive cabaret actress and rising star of the famous Moulin Rouge.

Expect to rediscover the iconic melodies and songs from the film, reinvented and woven into the story for a unique experience. Unforgettable songs such as “Come What May”, “Your Song” and “Lady Marmalade” make a triumphant return, accompanied by tracks released after the film’s premiere in 2001.
In addition to the songs from the film, Moulin Rouge! The Musical features new songs written especially for the show.
What are the best seats to enjoy the show to the full?
The concert hall offers its audience an optimal visual experience. Even the seats on the sides ensure that the view is centred so that you don’t miss any of the artistic prowess on stage.
However, watch out for the furthest rows of the Orchestre Centre. The mezzanine overlooking this part of the auditorium can slightly obstruct the view from the top of the stage.
The front rows of the Mezzanine offer a rewarding experience with excellent value for money. Finally, the star seats are the Can Can! Tables. An integral part of the set, these exceptional tables offer an incomparable view while sitting comfortably. However, some spectators still find that they are too close to the stage, but recognise an immersive experience.
