MOULIN ROUGE! THE MUSICAL National Tour Postpones Launch in Chicago

The producers of MOULIN ROUGE! THE MUSICAL and Broadway In Chicago announced today that due to the rapidly-changing COVID landscape, the North American tour will now launch at Broadway In Chicago's James M. Nederlander Theatre with performances beginning Saturday, March 19, 2022 through Saturday, May 14, 2022. The change in engagement dates have allowed the producers to make the pro-active decision to slightly delay the start of the rehearsal and production period due to the fast-moving Omicron variant.

The show was initially set to begin its Chicago engagement on February 26. The tour was previously set to launch from New Orleans' Saenger Theatre in November, but the run was postponed.

Patrons currently with tickets between February 26 through March 18, 2022, will be notified by email with their new date.
