The winner of 10 Tony Awards (including Best Musical), Moulin Rouge! The Musical is coming to Nashville. A famous fin de siècle Parisian cabaret, Moulin Rouge was influential and is the birthplace of the scandalous can-can dance. Moulin Rouge! The Musical is a 2018 Broadway adaptation based on the 2001 hit film starring Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman. Set at this glamorous location, where bohemians and aristocrats rub elbows, we follow the love story of a young composer and cabaret performer as they attempt to avoid tragedy and celebrate truth, beauty, freedom and love. This jukebox musical sidesteps many pitfalls of the jukebox genre by choosing and adapting songs from varied artists and styles, including my personal favorite, “El Tango de Roxanne”. The Broadway adaptation includes pop songs that have come out since the release of the film, and the live theater setting of the production should amplify the spirit of the original film.

Moulin Rouge! The Musical will be at TPAC’s Jackson Theater October 8-20. For tickets and more information, see Moulin Rouge! | TPAC
