Ooohhh La La!
"I will never understand how and why this show is no longer playing on Broadway!?! The show is simply amazing! The performances are next-level! The Can-Can girls are dynamite ... their routines absolutely jawdropping! Christian and Satine ... mind blown! Andre Ward is a superstar .. his comedic timing and powerhouse vocals ... boots the house down ... he ate! There is something here for everyone ... so many wonderful songs to sing along to ... pure joy ... fantasy ... whimsy ... hope ... fun! "

Yes! You Can Can Can!!!
"🎭 Moulin Rouge! The Musical — Broadway As someone who has spent a lot of time both onstage and in the audience, I am always looking at the details—the design, the storytelling, the ensemble work, the choreography, and all those little choices that make a production truly transport you. And Moulin Rouge! does all of it spectacularly. The set is simply stunning. From the moment you walk into the theater, you are transported into another world, and the production never lets you go. You become completely invested in the story of these unlikely lovers who pour their hearts out through every lyric. The choreography is especially wonderful—creative, energetic, and theatrical, while still feeling classic and beautifully grounded in the story. And the vocal work is magnificent. The leads are extraordinary, but what really impressed me was the strength and commitment of the entire supporting cast. Every character has a moment, a thought, a reaction—and those choices make the world feel alive. There is plenty of schtick, humor, and sheer fun along the way, but the production never loses sight of the heart of the story. And then comes that poignant ending. The performances were so beautifully committed and emotionally honest that there were tears in the audience—and, yes, definitely some from me. If you loved the movie, you will love this even more. It takes what you remember and turns it into something that can only happen in live theater. It is heartbreaking to see this production end its Broadway run. What a gift it has been to audiences and to theater lovers. I only hope that Moulin Rouge! finds its way into theaters across the country so that audiences everywhere can experience what happens when spectacular design, extraordinary performers, brilliant choreography, and a whole lot of theatrical magic come together. Bravo. ❤️🎭"

Met all my expectations!
"I knew that I had to make the trip from upstate NY to see it before it closed for good. I've seen several videos on line, but they don't do the show justice. The theatre was immensed with red draping and lights everywhere. From the cast to the costumes, to the staging, to the music, it was spectacular."

Awesome show for theater lovers
"It was my first time seeing Moulin Rouge and it was absolutely phenomenal, beautiful, and wonderful. The cast/crew were amazing especially the talented Aaron Tveit who played Christian; powerful voice and great actor. It was my first time seeing him and I understand why he is so talented. The music, songs, and dancing were amazing and fun to listen, sing, and dance a little. Shedded tears came during some scenes especially between Christian and Satine with their beautiful love story. The ending with the bows was wonderful. Everything about the show was phenomenal and I enjoyed every moment of it. Very sad that is it closing at the end of August 2026 but I hope it will be revived in the future. If you’re in New York or visiting from elsewhere, definitely check out Moulin Rouge and you won’t be disappointed. With love, thank you Moulin Rouge for a night to remember!"

Wonderful! So sad it is leaving Broadway!
"I had seen the touring Moulin Rouge ~ 2 months before, but then heard that the show was closing on Broadway, so I had to see it before it went away. And I was lucky in that the date happened to correspond to when Aaron Tveit was starring as Christian one last time on Broadway! The theater was spectacular and the set was much more than the touring company. I could not ask for a better experience with cast and show!. So sad it is leaving Broadway!"

Amazing!
"This was my third time seeing “Moulin Rouge” and each time was better than the one before! We came to see it the third time because Aaron Tveit was reprising his role of “Christian”, and all I can say is “WOW”. What a phenomenal voice! He and Kelsie Watts are amazing! Their voices are outstanding! The whole cast out-did themselves! I’m so glad we were able to see the show one last time before it leaves for good!"

So entertaining
"We were lucky enough to be in the audience for Aaron Tveit’s first night back. What an incredible experience. The music, the choreography and acting was spectacular! The only thing I could’ve done without was the one usher constantly flashing his light at the start and end of the show at one of 2 people trying to discreetly use their phones. Other than that, I have to say this show ranks in the top tier of shows we’ve seen recently!"

Absolutely unforgettable!
"The show was absolutely astonishing and outstanding. The entire cast, including Kelsie, Christian, Ricky, AK, Andre and I Am, were incredible. I would die to see and hear them perform again and again. I genuinely cried a lot during the show, and I still can't believe it's going to be over. I would absolutely love to see them again. Maybe some of them will transfer to London? "
