About Moulin Rouge! The Musical
Escape into the romantic, glamorous world of Moulin Rouge! The Musical on Broadway, based on the beloved 2001 movie by Baz Luhrmann.
Before Moulin Rouge! on Broadway came to be, the love story of a writer and a showgirl captivated fans on screen. The Moulin Rouge! movie grossed over $179 million worldwide and earned Catherine Martin two Oscars (for Best Costume Design and Best Production Design) at the 74th Academy Awards, where it received a further six nominations, including Best Picture. The movie musical starred Nicole Kidman, Ewan McGregor, and Jim Broadbent, along with John Leguizamo and Richard Roxburgh.
The original Moulin Rouge! The Musical Broadway company was led by Tony Award winner Aaron Tveit as Christian and Tony nominee Karen Olivo as Satine. Danny Burstein took home his first Tony Award, after six previous nominations, for playing the Moulin Rouge's emcee, Harold Zidler. They all originated their roles at the pre-Broadway world premiere engagement of Moulin Rouge! The Musical at Boston's Emerson Colonial Theatre in 2018.
What is Moulin Rouge on Broadway about?
Moulin Rouge! The Musical on Broadway is a love story about Christian, an American writer looking for inspiration in Paris, and Satine, a star showgirl and courtesan, within the Moulin Rouge nightclub at the turn of the 20th century. As Satine has been promised to the wealthy Duke, who promises to save her and the club from bankruptcy, her and Christian's romance blossoms in secret behind the scenes — but is love enough?
Is Moulin Rouge a jukebox musical?
Moulin Rouge! The Musical is a jukebox musical. Like the movie, which featured versions of existing pop songs like "Lady Marmalade," "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend," "Roxanne," and "Your Song," Moulin Rouge! on Broadway also has a pop score.

There are also dozens more chart-toppers from Tina Turner, The Rolling Stones, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, and many more, plus the movie's one original song, "Come What May."
