Moulin Rouge! The Musical, a stage adaptation of Baz Luhrmann’s 2001 film, is making its way to Melbourne in 2021 after a successful Broadway debut!

Watch below as Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews joins original MOULIN ROUGE! creators Baz Luhrmann and Catherine Martin to officially announce that Moulin Rouge! The Musical will be making its Australian premiere at the Regent Theatre in Melbourne in 2021.

Moulin Rouge! The Musical is Global Creatures’ first production to premiere outside Australia before going global, premiering in Boston last year before hitting Broadway last week.

Tony Award®-winner John Logan wrote the book (adapted from the screenplay by Luhrmann and Craig Pearce), with direction by Tony Award®-nominee Alex Timbers, choreography by Emmy Award-winner Sonya Tayeh, and musical direction, orchestrations, and arrangement by Justin Levine. Moulin Rouge! The Musical explodes the fantastic vision created by Baz Luhrmann in the film, inviting the audience into a heady world that’s part nightclub, part dance hall, part theater, part dreamscape. Featuring 70 songs, representing 160 composers and 30 music publishers, spanning over 160 years of popular music from Offenbach to Lady Gaga, Moulin Rouge! The Musical is a musical mash-up extravaganza that celebrates the very best of Broadway.
