In 2019, debuting at the Al Hirschfeld theatre, the 2001 film Moulin Rouge was transformed into the now-famed live performance in Broadway. Originally created by Baz Luhrmann, it was brought to the stage by Tony Awardees and cast members like Aaron Tveit and Karen Olivo, who embodied the roles of Christian and Satine respectively, and creative experts including director Alex Timbers and music numbers and creations by Justine Levine, behind the scenes.
Moulin Rouge! The Musical is a play exemplifying happiness amidst tragic love that presents to us all four Bohemian values of truth, beauty, freedom, and love. At the end of the 19th century and at the peak of Bohemianism, during the span of La Belle Époque, Christian, an American writer and composer, searches for his dream and inspiration. He aspires to start a successful career as a writer and journeys to Montmartre, Paris, where he meets two new friends, Lautrec and Santiago, who influence him to pen a musical that they can put on. It is in the hidden world of the Moulin Rouge nightclub where he meets Satine, the entertainer of the the infamous nightclub that captures his attention. Their budding relationship however meets a haughty competitor in the persona of the boastful and greedy Duke of Monroth, who is pledged Satine by the nightclub’s owner Harold Zidler, in exchange for a substantial financial trade-off to keep Moulin Rouge afloat and bring Moulin Rouge up to the next level. So starts Christian and Satine’s secret and tragic love affair on the Broadway stage.
