Moulin Rouge – The Musical at Al Hirschfeld Theatre

The 2001 "Moulin Rouge!” film by Baz Luhrmann earned nominations at the 74th Academy Awards, grossing nearly $180 million worldwide. This instant hit musical film about love and misfortune stayed relevant and is now a hit jukebox musical performed around the globe. The Broadway show had a long and rocky start since there were merely whispers of a Broadway adaptation in 2002 and 2006. But in 2016, it was finally announced that this glamorous film would hit the stage. The musical finally debuted in 2019 but took a year-and-a-half break starting in 2020 thanks to worldwide events, but it has been up and performing since mid-2021 with great success.

The tale of American composer Christian and Parisian entertainer Satine will melt your heart. Christian meets talented French Bohemians who want to create songs for a play and agree to partner with him to get their play into production at the Moulin Rouge theater. Satine works at this theater, but it's quickly losing money and could close forever. Satine wants to save the Moulin Rouge and considers seducing a wealthy Duke who has shown interest in investing in the theater to save it. However, Satine and Christian cross paths and fall in love. Of course, the Duke doesn't like the situation and threatens to chancel his investment, and poses a real threat to Christian's life if he doesn't leave Satine alone.
