The audience leaves the theater on a massive sugar high, fully entertained. The dancing, vocals, lighting, sets, and orchestrations are all “par excellence.”   It may not be challenging  theater, but MOULIN ROUGE is great entertainment. 

Luzmila brilha como a luz de uma vela. A sua música, a sua voz, feita de agudos arrepiantes e graves uterinos, confundem-se com os contornos da sua alma, mas também com a voz do vento, dos rios e dos pássaros.
