by Shanti M. Kennedy - Mar 19, 2025
Indulge your senses, for to merely label “Moulin Rouge! The Musical” as a mere Broadway success is an egregious understatement of this unparalleled masterpiece. Allow me to regale you with the sumptuous details of its grandeur - during its opulent Broadway premiere in 2019 at the illustrious Al Hirschfeld Theatre, this divine creation was bestowed with 14 Tony nominations and gracefully claimed 10 coveted awards, emerging as the undisputed belle of the ball with accolades such as Best Musical, Choreography, Scenic, and Costume Design.

Review: MOULIN ROUGE THE MUSICAL at American Theatre Guild
by Alan Portner - Jul 26, 2024
MOULIN ROUGE The Musical Is something entirely new to the wave of Juke Box musicals overwhelming the Great White Way. It is big, bold, brassy, and projects an altogether sexy sumptuousness while maintaining a sense of humor about itself. The audience leaves the theater on a massive sugar high, fully entertained. The dancing, vocals, lighting, sets, and orchestrations are all “par excellence.” It may not be challenging theater, but MOULIN ROUGE is great entertainment.

Review: MOULIN ROUGE! THE MUSICAL Dazzles at PPAC
by Andria Tieman - Dec 21, 2023
Moulin Rouge! The Musical, debuted in Boston in 2018, and seems like an incredibly logical adaptation of a wildly successful musical film. The stage version, showing at PPAC through December 31, hews very closely to the film in terms of plot and the bigger musical numbers, but also adds some new songs and showcases some exceptional sets and lighting that really make this production feel new on the stage. While jukebox musicals can feel tedious, this is a refreshing re-envisioning that sparkles with well-chosen songs and outstanding vocal performances.
