You can-can-can see Moulin Rouge! The Musical this summer. The musical continues at the Piccadilly Theatre, with more performances added through 22 July 2023.
Inspired by the 2001 Baz Luhrmann film of the same name, Moulin Rouge! The Musical follows an American writer, Christian, who visits Paris for literary inspiration. While there, he falls in love with the club’s singing sensation, Satine. At the same time, the Duke of Monroth is vying for Satine's affection, and sparks fly in the Parisian cabaret.
In a four-star review for London Theatre, our critic said: "This, mon chérie, is an all-new, all-adrenaline rush of a show that leverages the movie's magic and adds the secret ingredient: theatrical magic."
