Moulin Rouge! The Musical
The spectacular stage event based on the film by Baz Luhrmann
Paris, 1899. Glamour, passion and big dreams come together at the legendary Moulin Rouge. Young writer Christian falls in love with Satine, the acclaimed star of the famous nightclub. But their love is threatened when the wealthy Duke of Monroth appears. He wants to save the debt-ridden Moulin Rouge – and has clear demands in return.
Together with club owner Harold Zidler and the dazzling bohemians of Paris – including the artist Toulouse-Lautrec and the fiery dancer Santiago – Christian does everything he can to preserve the Moulin Rouge and fight for his love. Between jealousy and hope, a race against time begins.
