I often go to the theater and the opera, but this show topped everything I’d seen before and set me on a new path; it was so good that after the intermission, all I could think about was hoping it wasn’t over, so I could feel those chills down my spine one more time.

The show was really good, great actors and singers and songs brought into the story - BUT the drinks are mega expensive. £21 for a bottle cider and glass of Prosecco is extortionate....!

An absolutely extraordinary show! We spent 2 hours and 45 minutes completely lost in the moment. The singers are exceptional, the dancers are incredible, and the choreography flows with wild energy, without a single lull. The song selections are spot-on and perfectly integrated into the show. And what can I say about the costumes: sumptuous, spectacular, and truly visually over-the-top 🤩 The theater itself is magnificent and adds so much to the experience. In short, a grand, lavish, and flawlessly executed show. We had a really, really great time, and I highly recommend it! A quick practical tip 🥶 : be sure to bring a light sweater! It gets pretty cold in the theater.

Moulin Rouge! The Musical was absolutely breathtaking! ✨ From the incredibly talented cast to the flawless performances, everything was simply perfect. The energy, the music, the choreography, the costumes and the stunning atmosphere kept us captivated from beginning to end. It’s one of those shows where you completely lose track of time because you’re so immersed in the story and the magic of the stage. The entire cast was phenomenal, and every single performance felt full of passion, emotion and incredible energy. A truly unforgettable experience — spectacular, vibrant, emotional and utterly mesmerizing. ❤️🎭 I couldn’t recommend Moulin Rouge! The Musical highly enough!

It was very interesting at first to come in to the musical, as we saw the actors welcoming the guests in "interesting" costumes, but it already created interest. The musical itself was full of various emotions and really well executed, especially in not the biggest stage we have seen. It was also a very nice combination of the whole action happening in a historical period, but there was a lot of today's popular songs included. Nice combination of classics and pop. Really liked it, we will definately look for more musicals like this!

My experience of the Moulin Rouge was exceptional. The actresses and actors, the costumes, the dancing... It was all really beautiful. As a child growing up, one of my favourite movies of all time was and still is Moulin Rouge. While it was not an exact replica in music, it was the perfect modern take on the core storyline, which I really appreciated. A bucket list production to see for me, and it did not disappoint.

Baz Luhrmann’s cinematic world translates into a high-stakes stage production, transforming London's Piccadilly Theatre into the iconic Paris cabaret.

Winner of 10 Tony Awards and an Olivier for Costume Design, the show features over 70 pop hits from artists like Madonna and Elton John.

Witness visionary direction by Alex Timbers, a powerful script by John Logan, and Justin Levine’s masterful music supervision. Book your Moulin Rouge! The Musical London tickets now!
