Broadway Across Canada has announced that Moulin Rouge! The Musical, winner of 10 Tony Awards including Best Musical, will play Vancouver’s Queen Elizabeth Theatre from January 20–25, 2026.

Moulin Rouge! The Musical opened to acclaim on Broadway at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre in 2019 and reopened in 2021 following the pandemic shutdown.
