Why see Moulin Rouge! The Musical?
You Can Can Can!
Olivier Award 2022 Winner for Best Costume Design!
Spectacular, specular! The Broadway and West End smash hit Moulin Rouge! The Musical is now setting out on a UK Tour, starting the party in Edinburgh with an extended run from April 2025!
A thrilling experience for audiences, this marvellous production is based on the iconic Baz Lurhmann film of the same name (in turn based on Puccini's La Boheme) and is directed by Alex Timbers, with gorgeous set design by Derek McLane and Olivier winning costume design from Catherine Zuber. Evoking the film's Demi-Monde flavour, Moulin Rouge! The Musical is a sumptuous experience, from the moment you take your seat.
Baz Luhrmann's Moulin Rouge! is cemented into the worldwide canon of iconic movies. With a glittering cast featuring Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor, and a set that 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 it was nominated for an outstanding 129 awards, winning two Academy Awards, three Golden Globes, and one BAFTA. A feat the musical adaptation has already began to match - in 2020, it won an eye-watering 10 Tony Awards!
