Moulin Rouge – The Musical at Al Hirschfeld Theatre

In the first stages of its conception, Moulin Rouge! The Musical needed to take on the challenge of exceeding or at minimum being at equal footing with the previous movie produced before it. The musical's current success tells us that the Broadway stage adaptation has become one of Broadway's treasures with repeated standing ovations from both fans and critics alike. Broadway World’s Miranda Keating even lauded the musical after viewing, stating “Truthfully, as as I entered the theatre, I was instantly transported into the beauty of what was designed as 19th century Paris. When the production ended, I originally had no visible reaction. I was left speechless by the spectacle.” The musical continues its performances to date, now reaching New York and to be staged at Al Hirschfeld Theatre on Wednesday 21st August 2024, Al Hirschfeld Theatre being one of the state's leading theatre venues with creative architecture, sound design, and classy decor both inside and outside of the venue.

The play's storyline itself is a rollercoaster with extreme emotion about Christian and Satine, an American writer travels to Paris to find out his dream and path in life, and a performer in the Moulin Rouge entertainment venue, respectively. The two lovers fall madly in love as they get closer to each other, and it is in their affair that they endanger themselves because of a jealous benefactor, though their love for each other pushes them on.

In the running time of 2 hours and 45 minutes of the whole musical, this tale is shared largely through song and dance, with unforgettable scoring from the production, which is a blend of mash-ups, medleys, and even classic tunes. Manchester Media Group reported that Moulin Rouge is “an audio and visual masterpiece that translated beautifully on stage.” From the 19th century set to the modern pop numbers, the musical’s sparkle shines through; plus the fact that even the actors and actresses are composed of singer heavyweights including Aaron Tveit and Karen Olivo originating the roles of Christian and Satine and you have another Broadway gem on your hands.
