Welcome to the Moulin Rouge!

Baz Lurhmann’s revolutionary film comes to life on stage, remixed in a new musical mash-up
extravaganza. A theatrical celebration of truth, beauty, freedom, and – above all – love.

Moulin Rouge! first opened in the West End in January 2022, with previews starting in
November 2021. The show opened at London’s Piccadilly Theatre, where it is still playing to
sold-out audiences night after night. Since its debut in London Moulin Rouge! has received
widespread acclaim from both audiences and critics alike and was nominated for 5 Olivier
Awards in 2022, including ‘Best New Musical’.

Moulin Rouge! tickets are available now.

Originating from the iconic 2001 film directed by Baz Luhrmann, Moulin Rouge! has captured
the hearts of audiences across the globe with its tale of love, passion, and bohemian spirit.
The hit film stars Nicole Kidman as Satine, the headline act at the Moulin Rouge and their
‘sparkling diamond’, and Ewan Mcgregor as Christian, a penniless writer who is enthralled by
the bohemian ideals. The two young lovers are from two very different worlds but their
worlds collide at Paris’ iconic Moulin Rouge! Against a backdrop of extravagant parties,
forbidden love, and artistic ambition, their passionate romance unfolds amidst the glittering
lights of the most iconic venue in Paris.

Set against the backdrop of 19th-century Paris, the stage adaptation brings the beloved story
to dazzling new heights. Whether you’re a longtime fan of the film or experiencing the story
for the first time, Moulin Rouge! is sure to steal your heart.

Once you step inside the Piccadilly Theatre you are transported to a world of glitz and
grandeur… welcome to the Moulin Rouge! The whole theatre has been transformed into the
Moulin Rouge itself, there’s even a giant elephant!

The jukebox musical includes songs from legendary artists such as Elton John, David Bowie,
The Police, and Christina Aguilera. The well-known songs from the film have also been
adapted to still feature in the stage musical, such as Your Song, Elephant Love Medley, Lady
Marmalade, and Come What May. The stage musical also includes new mash-ups with
contemporary music from artists like Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and Beyonce. The eclectic
soundtrack featuring a mix of classic songs and modern hits brings the story to life in
unexpected ways.

Moulin Rouge! really is the sparkling diamond of the West End. Moulin Rouge! is more than
just a musical – it’s a state of mind.
