Moulin Rouge – The Musical at Buell Theatre

During its brainstorming stage, Moulin Rouge! The Musical had to take on the challenge of exceeding or at minimum being at equal footing with the 2001 motion picture created by Baz Luhrmann. The musical's current success tells us that Moulin Rouge! The Musical has more than lived up to the name with an impressive turnout each show from both fans and critics alike. Broadway World’s Miranda Keating even appreciated the show after watching, saying “Truthfully, as as I entered the theatre, I was immediately plunged into the beauty of what was designed as 19th century Paris. When the final act concluded, I initially had no visible reaction. I was left speechless by the spectacle.” The musical carries on its runs to date, now in Denver and to be produced at The Buell Theatre on Friday 8th August 2025, The Buell Theatre being one of the state's premier show venues with a beautiful stage, acoustics, and design both inside and outside of the venue.

The play's plot itself is your classic and tragic love story following Christian and Satine, an American writer travels to Montmartre, Paris to jumpstart his career as a writer and composer, and a star performer in the Moulin Rouge entertainment venue, respectively. Christian and Satine enter into a forbidden love as they get closer to each other, and it is in their entanglement that they face challenges that at many times seem insurmountable, though their love for each other pushes them on.

In the running time of 2 hours and 45 minutes of the full show, this show is presented mostly through song and dance, with spectacular musical scoring from the production, which is a mixture of mash-ups, medleys, and even songs from the 2001 film. Manchester Media Group was quoted that Moulin Rouge is “a musical full of life because of its brilliant cast and crew.” From choreography to the jawdropping musical accompaniments, the musical’s sparkle is very evident; consider the fact that even the cast is composed of singer Broadway veterans such as Aaron Tveit and Karen Olivo leading the characters of Christian and Satine and you have a worldwide phenomenon on your hands.
