Moulin Rouge – The Musical at Temple Hoyne Buell Theatre

The 2001 Baz Luhrmann film, Moulin Rouge earned nominations at the 74th Academy Awards, grossing nearly $180 million worldwide. This beloved musical film about romance and misfortune stayed in our hearts and is now a hit stage production performed worldwide. The Broadway show had a long and rocky start since there were merely whispers of a Broadway adaptation in 2002 and 2006. But in 2016, it was formally announced that this glitzy film would join Broadway. The show finally debuted in 2019 but took a year-and-a-half break starting in 2020 thanks to worldwide events, but it has been up and running since mid-2021 with great success.

The story of American composer Christian and Parisian entertainer Satine will melt your heart. Christian meets talented French Bohemians who want to write songs for a play and decide to partner with him to get their play into production at the Moulin Rouge theater. Satine works at this theater, but it's quickly failing and has a real risk of shutting down. Satine wants to save the Moulin Rouge and considers seducing a wealthy Duke who has shown interest in investing in the theater to save it. However, Satine and Christian cross paths and feelings become complex. Of course, the Duke doesn't like the situation and threatens that he won't invest in the theater after all, and threatens Christian's life if he doesn't leave Satine alone.
