Wake Up With BWW 2/15: New MOULIN ROUGE Trailer, and More!

Good morning, BroadwayWorld! Happy Friday! Finish off your week by catching up on today's top Broadway news!

First, we're falling in love with Moulin Rouge, which just released a new trailer yesterday! The show, starring Aaron Tveit and Karen Olivo, released the video, titled 'Love' on Valentine's Day.

In bigger news, we've learned that the upcoming Michael Jackson musical, Don't Stop Til You Get Enough, will forego an out of town premiere, which was previously set for Chicago. Instead, the show is expected to make its premiere on Broadway in 2020.

Boyfriends Ben Levi Ross and Taylor Trensch sang a special duet version of 'Only Us' from Dear Evan Hansen. The men have both played Evan Hansen - on tour and on Broadway respectively, in addition to playing opposite each other on Broadway (with Ross as Jared.)
