What the critics say
“There is a lot to love: with a wonderfully wild energy throughout, it’s happily queerer than the film, and the well-known songs really are spectacular.”
“...director Alex Timbers’s dementedly maximalist ‘remix’ of Baz Luhrmann’s smash 2001 film is pure sensory overload...for all its tongue-in-cheek chutzpah, when the music stops you’re not left with much.”
“The whole experience is awash with sure-footed dance: sensuous, fleet and duly delivering those signature can-can moves in a riot of petticoat lifting and high-kicking. Yet there’s little disguising the slender narrative arc...”
“Alex Timbers’ production excels when it seduces the eye, not the mind or the heart: Derek McLane’s sets and Catherine Zuber’s costumes are essays in polychromatic fabulousness.”
“From the second you enter you know what to expect: a musical with a heart of gold that seeks to entertain and overwhelm in equal measure. It is so over the top, it's irresistible.”
“It’s a shell of a show, all noise and no signal, instantly crumbling into its own lack of substance.”
“Calling this show a mash-up is an understatement: it’s more like pouring a few hundredweight of melodies into a cement mixer lorry and adding several tons of rhinestones.”
“It’s kitsch, joyful hedonism writ large, bursting with sparklers, streamers and technicolour vitality – and powered by a cast who know only too well that you should perform every show as though it could be your last. Irresistible entertainment.”
“Moulin Rouge! is determinedly set on entertaining its audience; and if that intention can lend itself to a blandness in its slower moments, and a smoothness around some of its edges, then there’s almost always a diamond of a number around the corner.”
“Timbers is not afraid to use every tool in his directing arsenal with this self-aware, but not self-conscious, amalgamation of vintage and modern, classic and contemporary. Every creative team member is clearly working overtime to deliver excellence and opulence.”

The history of the Piccadilly Theatre
The Piccadilly Theatre opened in 1928 with a production of Blue Eyes by Jerome Kern and Guy Bolton. Built in just seven months, the theatre was designed by Bertie Crewe and Edward A. Stone, and originally featured both theatrical productions and cinema screenings, including some of the earliest sound films.
Over the years, it has hosted everything from ballet and cabaret to long-running West End hits like Grease, Guys and Dolls, and Ghost: The Musical. A major refurbishment in recent years has enhanced its facilities while preserving its striking Art Deco interior.
