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 no less than being at equal footing with the original film of the same name. The musical's current success tells us that Moulin Rouge! The Musical has more than lived up to the name with repeated standing ovations from both original film and Broadway fans. Broadway World’s Miranda Keating even praised the production after viewing, saying “Honestly, as as soon as the show began, I was instantenously plunged into the heart-racing love story of Christian and Satine. When the production ended, I initially had no visible reaction. I was left speechless by the spectacle.” The musical continues its runs to date, now in New York and to be produced at Al Hirschfeld Theatre on Sunday 5th January 2025, Al Hirschfeld Theatre renowned for being one of the city's finest show venues with a beautiful stage, acoustics, and design both for the interior and exterior of the venue.

The play's narrative itself is a fresh retelling of the 2001 film focused on Christian and Satine, an American composer arrives in Paris to look for something to inspire him, 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 show is told largely through song, with awesome arrangements from the production crew, which is a combination of mash-ups, medleys, and even classical numbers. Manchester Media Group stated that the musical is “a musical full of life because of its brilliant cast and crew.” From the 19th century set to the modern pop numbers, the musical’s sparkle is very evident; consider the fact that even the actors and actresses are composed of singer superstars like Aaron Tveit and Karen Olivo originating the characters of Christian and Satine and you have a worldwide phenomenon on your hands.
