Yesterday

The booking process and actual entry into the theater went smoothly, without any problems. The show was very beautiful and engaging, and it makes you want to sing along with the actors; it started right on time (7:30 PM, watch out, we almost ran late!). After about 1h20, there was a pleasant intermission of about twenty minutes. You can bring drinks purchased at the foyer bar into the theater, which is something I've never seen in Italy... bottles and glasses with beer and various cocktails left under the seats at the end of the show, though... what a shame. 🚫 No filming or taking photos (of course) SPOILER ALERT! The songs are partly from the movie, but many others have been added (both before and after the movie's release), and the lyrics fit very well with the story.

What a wonderful night! We loved the atmosphere, the venue, and the way the performers mingled with the audience, which made the experience feel very immersive. Our seats offered a great view, though they were a little hard, so we may choose seats further back next time. Several songs were incredibly touching, particularly the final number of the first half. All in all, it was a memorable evening that we would happily recommend.

We came from Madrid to see the musical, since we had loved the movie, and it was really worth it. I thought it might disappoint us, but not at all—everything was incredible: a magnificent set and perfect actors. The seats are spacious and comfortable, and the view is great, even from the back row.

Theatre was so aesthetic and authentic Sound system was amazing The choreography, the singing, the acting were all top notch The only thing was that the stage could have been bigger because of the scale and nature of the show Overall 10/10 experience

I often go to the theater and the opera, but this show topped everything I’d seen before and set me on a new path; it was so good that after the intermission, all I could think about was hoping it wasn’t over, so I could feel those chills down my spine one more time.

The story

At the heart of Moulin Rouge! The Musical is Christian, a young writer who falls in love with Satine, the star of the Moulin Rouge cabaret. As Christian looks back on their whirlwind romance, he pens a moving tribute to their love, a journey filled with beauty, heartbreak, joy, and sacrifice. Through humour, music, and poignant emotion, the story celebrates truth, freedom, and above all, love.

An absolutely extraordinary show! We spent 2 hours and 45 minutes completely lost in the moment. The singers are exceptional, the dancers are incredible, and the choreography flows with wild energy, without a single lull. The song selections are spot-on and perfectly integrated into the show. And what can I say about the costumes: sumptuous, spectacular, and truly visually over-the-top 🤩 The theater itself is magnificent and adds so much to the experience. In short, a grand, lavish, and flawlessly executed show. We had a really, really great time, and I highly recommend it! A quick practical tip 🥶 : be sure to bring a light sweater! It gets pretty cold in the theater.

My experience of the Moulin Rouge was exceptional. The actresses and actors, the costumes, the dancing... It was all really beautiful. As a child growing up, one of my favourite movies of all time was and still is Moulin Rouge. While it was not an exact replica in music, it was the perfect modern take on the core storyline, which I really appreciated. A bucket list production to see for me, and it did not disappoint.
