Set in Paris, 1899, a world of indulgent beauty and unparalleled extravagance, of bohemians and aristocrats, of boulevardiers and reprobates, Moulin Rouge! The Musical
is the story of a lovesick American writer, Christian, and Satine, the dazzling star of the Moulin Rouge nightclub. When their lives collide at the Moulin Rouge, they fall hopelessly in love, only to be thwarted by the nightclub’s host and impresario, Harold Zidler, and The Duke of Monroth, the wealthy and entitled patron of the club who thinks he can buy anything he wants, including Satine. Together with his Bohemian friends–the brilliant and starving artist Toulouse-Lautrec, and the greatest tango dancer in all of Paris, Santiago–Christian stages a musical spectacular in an attempt to save the Moulin Rouge and win the heart of Satine. Moulin Rouge! The Musical is a celebration of Truth, Beauty, Freedom, and–above all–Love! |
