About Moulin Rouge! The Musical

Hello chickens! Find your truth, beauty, freedom, and love at London’s spectacular spectacular. See how the Parisian club transforms the West End, and book Moulin Rouge! The Musical tickets on TodayTix.

As soon as you step inside the Piccadilly Theatre, you’re transported to turn-of-the-century Paris. Derek McLane’s eye-popping set includes the iconic red windmill and Satine’s elephant dressing room in the auditorium. Add over 70 pop songs from recent decades tied with a love story for the ages, and the end result is a magical musical to remember forever.

Moulin Rouge! is a piece of extravagant theatre magic. London Theatre raved about the show, saying it’s an “all-new, all-adrenaline rush of a show that leverages the movie.” Get ready to pop the champagne and delve into a luxury world of glitz and glamour for a night to remember.

The Moulin Rouge is a world-famous Parisian cabaret known for dazzling performances and stunning chanteuses. So, it’s the perfect place for literary inspiration. When writer Christian sets eyes on Satine, he’s lovestruck. It’s not all fair in love and war though, as Satine is promised to the Duke in order to save the Moulin Rouge before it collapses. Journey to fin-de-siècle Paris and live out all your Bohemian fantasies, because you can-can-can.

More information about Moulin Rouge! The Musical

Moulin Rouge! The Musical is based on the Academy Award-winning 2001 Baz Luhrmann film, starring Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor. While the original film changed the future possibilities of movie musicals, Moulin Rouge! The Musical is the gold standard of jukebox musicals. That’s down to Alex Timbers directing the glossy musical by bringing the history through while letting Sonya Tayeh’s choreography and Justin Levine’s music supervision do the talking.

Moulin Rouge! The Musical played a 2-week engagement at Boston’s Colonial Theatre before taking over Broadway by storm and winning 10 Tony Awards. The whole world’s fallen for Christian and Satine’s love story, with productions on Broadway, in Australia, and in London. How wonderful life is with this show in the world.

What to Watch For:

  • There’s over 70 pop songs used throughout Moulin Rouge! The Musical. As well as popular songs from the movie like “Come What May,” there are also tracks by Adele, Sia, and Beyoncé.
  • The real Moulin Rouge nightclub in Paris opened in 1889. ‘Moulin Rouge’ directly translates to “red windmill,” and you’ll see a red windmill inside the Piccadilly Theatre.
  • Although all the Moulin Rouge! The Musical characters are fictional, they’re based on real people. Harold Zidler’s name is inspired by the club's co-founder, Charles Zidler.
