Moulin Rouge! is directed by Tony Award winner Alex Timbers with musical direction, orchestrations, and arrangements by Justin Levine, and choreography by Sonya Tayeh. The tale is written by John Logan, whose previous Broadway work includes the critically acclaimed production of Red and Sting's The Last Ship.

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

“At the end of the 19th century, when our hopeless romantic lead walks through Montmartre for the first time, all he can see is ‘dazzling chaos’. That’s what this raucous new production of Moulin Rouge! exudes in spades,” the Guardian shares. There is a lot to love about the wonderfully wild energy throughout, it’s joyfully more inclusive than the film, and the well-known songs really are stunning.”
