The 2001 Baz Luhrmann film, Moulin Rouge gained nominations at the 74th Academy Awards, grossing nearly $180 million worldwide.

The musical 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 performing since mid-2021 with great success.
