The Movie

Baz Luhrmann's Moulin Rouge! is cemented into the world-wide canon of iconic movies. With a glittering cast featuring Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor, and a set which would astound the most cynical viewer it's no wonder that Moulin Rouge! went on to be one of the most award-nominated movies of all time. When released in the early 2000s Moulin Rouge! was nominated for an outstanding 129 awards, winning two Academy Awards, three Golden Globes, and one BAFTA. Moulin Rouge's success certainly cemented Luhrmann's stake as a global movie icon.

What Is The Plot Of Moulin Rouge?

The year is 1900, and Christian, a young poet and talented writer, has come to Paris to pursue a career and become a member of the Bohemian movement. Christian ends up falling hopelessly in love with Satine, the star of the famous Moulin Rouge. However, Satine has already been promised to the unscrupulous Duke. A love triangle ensues. As Christian and Satine try to stay together against all odds, they are led down a dark and dangerous path, but Satine is holding a terrible secret of her own...

There Is No Way You Can't Have a Good Time!

I saw this show yesterday and it was a wonderful musical to see when one has not been in a theater for over two years. It was a just plain fun show. The music, the dancing, the singing, the acting, and the set were all spectacular. I knew every song in the show. I read a review that criticized the show for plugging in new music but it was great. At the end of the play, during the standing ovation, people were clapping to the music and singing back to the cast. It was a nice way to be welcomed back to the theater. ... Read more

Moulin Rouge

A great evening of entertainment. The cast is excellent with song and energy. The best lighting I’ve seen in a musical. An impossible creation blending in about 70 songs. Conor Ryan is perfect for Christian. So is Courtney Reed as Satine. August Durant from the Broadway Zidler couldn’t be better. Don’t miss the show! ... Read more
