Moulin Rouge was recommended by my niece, raving that it would be an experience not to miss. On my first visit to the UK, I saw so many monumental sights, however the highlight for me was my immersion one Thursday afternoon in the extraordinary performances on the Moulin Rouge stage. Fabulous singing and dancer from the entire cast. If you have a chance to be in London, the historic sites are breathtaking, but Moulin Rouge is theater at its best. Bravo!

It was really special to be in the West End, soaking up the atmosphere and sharing the experience with my daughter for her 13th birthday. Seeing Moulin Rouge was a brilliant introduction to musical theatre. The songs, the performances, and the set were all fantastic. What I loved most was watching her get completely drawn in, just like I did at her age. It felt like passing on something I’ve always loved, and it made the evening feel even more meaningful.

Moulin Rouge! The Musical in London is a thrilling theatrical experience that brings Baz Luhrmann’s legendary film to life on stage.

Winner of 10 Tony Awards and two Olivier Awards for Best Set and Costume Design in 2022, the show dazzles with over 70 chart-topping songs by artists like Madonna and Elton John.

Witness visionary direction by Alex Timbers, a powerful script by John Logan, and Justin Levine’s masterful music supervision. Book your Moulin Rouge! The Musical London tickets now!

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.

Incredible performance by the cast. Very enjoyable second half. The first half was ruined by two men who were intoxicated. They spent 40 mins talking, shouting, filming, and being obnoxious. They should have been removed after third warning. It was an absolute disgrace people were allowed to come into the theatre 45 minutes into the performance. We all had to move etc. So disrespectful to the actors.

The best musical I’ve ever seen. From the theatre itself to the incredible quality of the actors, singers, and dancers — everything was outstanding. The costumes were fantastic, and the set design was absolutely stunning. It’s truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I can’t wait to see it again!
