He discovers it in Satine, a captivating courtesan who works as "the sparkling diamond" at the notorious Moulin Rouge nightclub.

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