Moulin Rouge! is based on the 2001 Baz Luhrmann film of the same name and originally starred Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman. Known for its somber tale and use of modern music in a vintage setting, the story and its elements translated extremely well to the stage while also being different enough to appreciate the stage musical in its own right. The updated music for a 2023 audience, a strong cast and crew, and a tale of desperate, devoted love all make this production Moulin Rouge! excel beyond the surface of the fantasy.

Playhouse Square will welcome the first North American tour of Moulin Rouge! The Musical, winner of 10 Tony Awards including Best Musical, to the Connor Palace from Wednesday, June 7 – Sunday, July 2 as part of the 2022-23 KeyBank Broadway Series at Playhouse Square.
