Hit show Moulin Rouge! The Musical will embark on its first world tour in 2025 with audiences in the UK lined up to get the first glimpse of the touring production.
The tour will launch alongside the West End production which is now in its third year at the Piccadilly Theatre.
The stage musical version of Baz Luhrmann’s vibrant double Oscar-winning tale of love among the artists in the Montmartre area of Paris is directed by award-winning director Alex Timbers (Here Lies Love, Rocky).
With a book by Tony and Golden Globe-winning writer John Logan, Luhrmann’s highly-stylised vision of turn-of-the-century Paris is played out to the sound of an eclectic ‘jukebox-style’ trip through the music of the last 50 years.
Winner of 10 Tony Awards, Moulin Rouge! The Musical features choreography by Emmy Award-winner Sonya Tayeh with music supervision, orchestrations and arrangements by Justin Levine.
The design team also includes set designer Derek McLane and costume designer Catherine Zuber, with Justin Townsend on lighting, Peter Hylenski on sound, David Brian Brown on wig and hair design and Sarah Cimino on make-up design. Casting is by Pippa Ailion and Natalie Gallacher.
A decade in the making, the ambitious production premiered in Boston in 2018 and debuted in New York in 2019 – 18 years after the big screen debut of Luhrmann’s evocative story of a doomed love affair between a writer and a dancer starring Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman.
