Everything You Need to Know About Moulin Rouge! The Musical


Baz Luhrman’s revolutionary film comes to life on stage in a theatrical celebration of truth, beauty, freedom, and – above all – love. Welcome to the Moulin Rouge!

The stage musical is based on the 2001 award-winning film of the same name that starred Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor. The original film was a huge success and grossed a huge $179.2 million on just a $50 million budget. It received eight nominations at the 74th Academy Awards including Best Picture and won two awards for Best Production Design and Best Costume Design. The film is still considered today as one of the best films of all time so it’s no surprise the stage show has become a box office success too. Here’s everything you need to know about the musical phenomenon.

What is the Story of Moulin Rouge?

Moulin Rouge! follows the story of two young lovers, from two very different worlds. Satine is the headline act at the Moulin Rouge and Christian is a penniless writer obsessed by the bohemian ideals. They start a secret relationship behind the back of the evil duke who holds the deeds to the Moulin Rouge. In a world where aristocrats and bohemians rub shoulders, they will find out if love really does conquer all.

When did Moulin Rouge First Open on Stage?

The musical adaptation first premiered in 2018 at the Emerson Colonial Theatre in Boston before officially opening on Broadway at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre in July 2019. The Broadway production received 14 nominations at the 74th Tony Awards and went on to win 10 including Best Musical.

When did Moulin Rouge Open in London?

The West End production officially opened in January 2022 with previews starting in November 2021 at London’s Piccadilly Theatre. The production was nominated for 5 Olivier Awards in 2022 including Best New Musical.

What Songs are in Moulin Rouge?

The jukebox musical includes songs from legendary artists such as David Bowie, Elton John, The Police, and Christina Aguilera. Iconic songs from the film have been adapted and still feature in the stage musical, such as Your Song, Elephant Love Medley, and Come What May. But the stage show has also added new mash-ups featuring contemporary music from the likes of Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and Beyonce.

Who are the creatives behind Moulin Rouge?

Moulin Rouge! is directed by Tony Award winner Alex Timbers, with a book by Tony Award winner John Logan, music supervision, orchestrations, and arrangements by Tony Award winner Justin Levine, and choreography by Tony Award winner Sonya Tayeh.

6 Best Musicals for Mother’s Day 2017


We all want to celebrate those closest to us in our lives and what better way than spending some quality time at a West End show. Treat the female role model in your life with a day out in London she’ll remember forever. Just a reminder; Mother’s Day is Sunday 26th March 2017.

Les Miserables

This worldwide phenomenon has now played for over 30 years in London’s West End, beginning at the Barbican, then transferring to the Palace Theatre before moving to the Queen’s Theatre, which it has called home since April 2004. This musical features a wealth of interwoven story lines, including the tragic tale of Fantine and her daughter Cosette. We don’t want to give away too much but Fantine’s undying love for her child supersedes adversity, culminating in her giving her child the best life she can. There won’t be a dry eye in the house!

Les Miserables at the Queens Theatre

Mamma Mia!

This ABBA jukebox musical has one of the best on-stage mothers in recent memory. Donna Sheridan is sassy, funny and a bit insecure, but best of all, warm-hearted to both her daughter and her friends. The tale of a mother and her grown up daughter’s relationship will make you both laugh and cry as they plan for her upcoming wedding. Bonus: you get to listen to the music of ABBA as the story is told.

Mamma Mia at the Novello Theatre

Wicked (*SPOILERS AHEAD*)

Despite the lack of mothers in this musical, it is this absence which makes this story a must-see close to Mother’s Day 2017. Elphaba’s mother tragically dies in childbirth after giving birth to an emerald green child. Consequently, Elphaba’s Father (the Govenor of Munchkinland) attempts to ensure his second child doesn’t meet the same fate as unfortunately, this attempt ends tragically. It is heart-warming to see the “Wicked Witch of the West” grow up into a feisty, strong and compassionate character in spite of her circumstances. Through the help of her friend Glinda, she overcomes the guilt and grief of her mother’s death.

Wicked The Musical at the Apollo Victoria Theatre

Motown the Musical

This musical will excite and delight all those who grew up in the Motown era or benefited from its influence. Featuring music from Smokey Robinson, Lionel Richie, The Jackson 5, Marvin Gaye, Edwin Starr and Diana Ross, this musical tells the story of Berry Gordy and Motown records. Motown the Musical has been a smash hit on both sides of the pond and has recently extended its run until 24 February 2018.

Motown The Musical

Beautiful The Carole King Musical

This jukebox musical tells the story of renowned singer-songwriter Carole King using her own music. Featuring songs including ‘Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow’, ‘One Fine Day’, ‘Chains’, ‘You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman’, ‘I Feel the Earth Move’, and of course, ‘Beautiful’, you won’t be able to resist a night at the Aldwych Theatre with your mum, dancing the night away.

Beautiful - Musical

Jersey Boys

It just so happens that Mother’s Day 2017 coincides with the last performance of the Jersey Boys in the West End, so we’d recommend an early Mother’s Day treat if you’re wishing to see this show. To avoid disappointment on the big day, book sooner rather than later as there’s currently extremely limited availability for tickets on the weekend of 25-26th March – a weekday performance beforehand may be ideal.

Jersey Boys - Musical

Why not make your day extra special, and take a trip on the London Eye? With a choice of regular entry or fast-track, you can make the most of your day!
