Review: MOULIN ROUGE! THE MUSICAL at Orpheum Theatre


by Steve Murray - December 19, 2025

Bright Star
4/25 - 4/27/2025


Inspired by a true story and featuring the Tony®-nominated score by Steve Martin and Edie Brickell, Broadway’s BRIGHT STAR tells a sweeping tale of love and redemption set against the rich backdrop of the American South in the 1920s and ’40s. When literary editor Alice Murphy meets a young soldier just home from World War II, he awakens her longing for the child she once lost. Haunted by their unique connection, Alice sets out on a journey to understand her past—and what she finds has the power to transform both of their lives. With beautiful melodies and powerfully moving characters, the story unfolds as a rich tapestry of deep emotion. An uplifting theatrical journey that holds you tightly in its grasp, Bright Star is as refreshingly genuine as it is daringly hopeful....

Music and Lyrics by Stephen Schwartz Book by Roger O. Hirson Originally Produced on the Broadway Stage by Stuart Ostrow Directed on the Broadway Stage by Bob Fosse 2013 Broadway Revival Directed by Diane Paulus Orchestrations for 2013 Revival by Larry Hochman Directed by Jay Brock Heir to the Frankish throne, the young prince Pippin is in search of the secret to true happiness and fulfillment. He seeks it in the glories of the battlefield, the temptations of the flesh and the intrigues of political power (after disposing of his father, King Charlemagne the Great). In the end, though, Pippin finds that happiness lies not in extraordinary endeavors, but rather in the unextraordinary moments that happen every day. Pippin is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.mtishows.com...
