What to Watch For

• In the movie, Christian is an Englishman. In Moulin Rouge! The Musical, Christian is an American who is fleeing the Industrial Revolution in search of artistic purpose.
• Baz Luhrmann, who directed and co-wrote the iconic 2001 film, came from a very artistic background. His mother was a ballroom dance instructor who gave him lessons early on, and his father insisted he study painting and music.
• Luhrmann says that director Alex Timbers “feels like a younger cousin,” and Timbers says he’s been very inspired by Luhrmann’s work. Luhrmann has watched performances of Moulin Rouge! The Musical on Broadway, and is a keen supporter of the show.
