ORLANDO, Fla. – The show must go on! The U.S. tour of the Broadway show, ”Moulin Rouge! The Musical” is heading to Orlando next week.
Based on the movie with the same name that came out in 2001, the show takes place in the early 1900s and follows bohemian writer, Christian. He visits the Moulin Rouge nightclub in Paris and falls in love with the club’s cabaret star, Satine.
Just like the film, the musical’s score includes original songs and popular music, including songs that have been released since the film came out.
The musical first premiered in 2018 in Boston, before opening up on Broadway a year later.
During the 74th Tony Awards in 2021, the musical won 10 awards, which was the most awards of the night, including Best Musical.
Ticket information can be found here.
Not only can you catch the musical in Orlando, but student artists have a chance to win free tickets in a contest. The Dr. Phillips Center wants students ninth through 12th grade to show off their creativity and heart.
