Review: Truth, Beauty, Freedom, Love! MOULIN ROUGE Brings All That, And More, To The McCallum
by David Green - Dec 11, 2025
The Tony Winning Best Musical MOULIN ROUGE was the highly anticipated opener to the McCallum's Broadway Season and it brought an enthusiastic audience all the promised spectacle, glitz, excess, bawdiness and More, More, More!!! There is much to love about this thrill ride of a production -- but the real headliners of this jukebox musical are Justin Townsend's lighting, Derek McLane's scenic design and Sonya Teyah's Tony Winning choreography. They stole the show, even from the superbly talented cast!
Review: MOULIN ROUGE! at Hollywood Pantages
by Amanda Callas - Nov 12, 2025
Moulin Rouge! is an immersive, kinetic wild ride, lavishly sexy, unabashedly romantic, and breathtaking to look at. There is a determined garishness, a gaudy and deliberate trashiness, an extravagance to Moulin Rogue! that feels triumphantly tasteless and rather wonderfully liberating.
