The Musical brings the magic of 1890s Paris to life, reimagining the story of Christian, a starry-eyed writer, and Satine, the sparkling diamond of the Moulin Rouge nightclub. Their passionate love story unfolds against a backdrop of opulent sets, jaw-dropping choreography, and a soundtrack packed with over 70 pop hits from artists like David Bowie, Elton John, Madonna, and Lady Gaga. From the heart-wrenching “Come What May” to the exuberant “Elephant Love Medley,” every moment is a feast for the senses.
For tourists, Moulin Rouge! is the ultimate London theatre experience, combining the glamour of the West End with the universal appeal of a classic love story. The Piccadilly Theatre, with its iconic red windmill and elephant statues spilling beyond the stage, transports you straight to the heart of Montmartre. Located in the bustling West End, near Leicester Square and Soho, it’s perfectly positioned for an evening of dining, shopping, and sightseeing. Whether you’re traveling solo, with friends, or as a family (recommended for ages 12+; children under 4 not admitted), this high-energy production will leave you spellbound.
