Freedom! Beauty! Truth! Love! Broadway! Baz Luhrmann's beloved 2001 film Moulin Rouge! comes to Broadway, with a cast including Tony winner Karen Olivo (West Side Story, In the Heights), Aaron Tveit (Next to Normal), six-time Tony nominee Danny Burstein (Fiddler on the Roof, Cabaret), Tony nominee Sahr Ngaujah (Fela), Tam Mutu (Doctor Zhivago), Ricky Rojas (Burn the Floor), and Robyn Hurder (Nice Work if You Can Get It).

Set in Montmartre Quarter of Paris, France at the turn of the century, a world of indulgent beauty and unparalleled extravagance, of bohemians and aristocrats, of boulevardiers and mademoiselles, Moulin Rouge!
The Musical tells the fictional story of an ambitious, lovesick writer, Christian, and a dazzling, entrancing chanteuse, Satine. Their lives collide at the Moulin Rouge with its many characters including the host of the Moulin Rouge, Harold Zidler, the brilliant and starving artist Toulouse-Lautrec, the greatest tango dancer - and gigolo - in all of Paris, Santiago, the tempting Nini, and The Duke of Monroth, the wealthy and entitled patron of the club who thinks he can buy anything he wants, including love.
