The jukebox musical Moulin Rouge! The Musical is based on the 2001 film Moulin Rouge! directed by Baz Luhrmann. First premiered in Boston, the musical opened on Broadway at the Al Hirscfeld Theatre in 2019. The story is about Christian, a young wannabe Bohemian poet living in 1899 Paris, who joins the colorfully diverse clique inhabiting the dark, fantastical underworld of Paris' now legendary Moulin Rouge. There, he starts a deadly love affair with the star of the show, Satine. The two and Duke, the owner of the club who Satine also has an interest in, fall into a love triangle. But, everything starts taking a toll on Satine. Baz Luhrmann’s revolutionary film comes to life onstage, remixed in a new musical mash-up extravaganza. The play also won not only one but ten Tony Awards, including Best musical at the 74th Tony Awards.
