Prepare for the spectacular spectacular Moulin Rouge! The Musical begins its World Tour at Edinburgh Playhouse from April 2025!
Glitz, grandeur and glory comes to life on the stage of Edinburgh’s Playhouse with the spectacular Moulin Rouge! The Musical. It’s a world of splendour and romance that Edinburgh has never seen before. And if that isn’t enough to convince you that this mash-up musical is worth seeing, maybe the 5 Drama Desk Awards, 11 Outer Critics Circle Awards, and 14 Tony Award Nominations will be.
A world where bohemians and aristocrats meet in the middle to enjoy cultivating charm, Harold Zidler compels you to take a seat and revel in the extravaganza that is Moulin Rouge! The Musical. Expect an exceptional performance of truth, beauty, freedom and above all – love.
The musical is set in 1899, in the heart of Montmartre, Paris, where a young composer Christian becomes infatuated with Satine, the glamorous and enchanting star of the Moulin Rouge nightclub. When their two worlds collide, they fall deeply in love, however they are met with trouble from the nightclubs host and owner, Harold Zidler and The Duke of Monroth, who believes money is the key to everything, including Satine’s heart. Driven by his love, Christian teams up with his Bohemian friends (The extravagant Toulouse-Lautrec and the mesmerising tango dancer Santiago) to stage a musical spectacular to save The Moulin Rouge and win the love of Satine.
The show remains rooted in Baz Luhrmann’s revolutionary film, with upbeat tracks from pop icons such as Madonna, P!nk and Elton John that put a contemporary twist on classic musical theatre. So what are you waiting for? To get your tickets, visit Moulin Rouge! The Musical.
