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!

What Is The Story?

The year is 1900 and Christian, a young poet and talented writer has come to Paris to pursue a career and become a member of the Bohemian movement there. Christian ends up falling hopelessly in love with Satine, the star of the infamous Moulin Rouge, however, Satine has already been promised to the unscrupulous Duke. A love triangle ensues, as Christian and Satine try to stay together against all odds they are led down a dark and dangerous path but Satine is holding a terrible secret of her own...

Fab-u-lous!

What a brilliant show! So cleverly put together, with a mix of original songs and newer ones. The set is fantastic - no expense spared - and every member of the cast oozes talent! It’s high energy, colourful and, by the end of the show, the whole theatre was buzzing. We could have stayed and watched it on repeat - the best show we have seen (and we’ve seen a lot). Really hope we get to see it again! A must-see if you can can can!!! ... Read more

Definitely Worth it !

Watched Moulin Rouge on Thursday night. Walked in to the stalls area near the stage, I was amazed with the stage, the set, the way they had changed the theatre to transport you to the Moulin Rouge club in Paris. From the opening I was absolutely captivated, there was hit after hit, the energy the voices and performances, I cannot fault. I highly recommend this show it’s 100% worth the money. ... Read more
