The drama is set in the turn of the 20th century during a time known as La Belle Époque in Paris, the bohemian paradise of France in Montmartre. The narrative centers on Christian, a young American composer and writer who has just showed up in Paris in search of motivation. He discovers it in Satine, a captivating courtesan who works as "the sparkling diamond" at the infamous Moulin Rouge nightclub.

That’s what this raucous new production of Moulin Rouge! exudes in spades,” the Guardian shares. There is a lot to like about the exhilarating energy throughout, it’s happily queerer than the film, and the well-known songs really are stunning.”
