"The show itself was very very good! My partner had seen it before and thought I'd like it too, she was right, of course! Only negative was not the show or production, but the ignorant members of the audience who had phones out and the screens were distracting."

"Extremely well acted and the music, entertainment was amazing. Was like being in the film! I had seats at the front so it was incredible.. Shame about the two Americans sitting behind me that talked all the way through the first half until a theatre staff member, had to ask them to be quiet as the cast could hear them! Some people....."

"Wasn’t impressed. Was more like an amateur production rather than a West End show. Didnt believe in the acting. Didn’t like the music, wasn’t amusing and it was boring. Left after the first half"

"I had a really fun night watching this show. The sets were breathtaking - definitely the best I’ve seen on the West End and the dancing and costumes were incredible also! I personally wasn’t a fan of every single song mash up, but I still really enjoyed it overall!"

Things to Know Before You Go

Updated: Tue 14 Apr, 06:00 London time

Is there a Saturday matinee for Moulin Rouge! The Musical this weekend?

Yes — Sat 18 Apr 14:30 (tickets available).

What time does the Moulin Rouge! The Musical Sunday show start this weekend?

No Sunday performance this weekend.

What's the cheapest Moulin Rouge! The Musical performance this weekend?

From £67 (Fri).

Do I need to have seen the Moulin Rouge film to enjoy the musical?

No. The stage production retells the story clearly enough for newcomers, while fans of the film will recognise key scenes and characters. The main difference is the expanded song list, which includes many more modern pop tracks.

Is Moulin Rouge! The Musical suitable for children?

The show includes mature themes such as sex work, jealousy, illness and emotional conflict, alongside nightclub-style staging and innuendo. It is generally better suited to older teenagers and adults rather than younger children.

What kind of music will I hear in Moulin Rouge! The Musical?

The score is a jukebox mix of pop songs and rock anthems drawn from several decades, cleverly stitched together to fit the story. You can expect everything from big ballads to club tracks, often combined in surprising mash-ups.

How long does Moulin Rouge! The Musical run?

The musical typically runs for around two and a half hours, including an interval. With its energetic choreography and dense score, it feels full and fast-paced rather than slow.

Where is Moulin Rouge! The Musical performed in London?

Moulin Rouge! The Musical is staged at the Piccadilly Theatre in London's West End, a short walk from Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square Underground stations.

About this show

Moulin Rouge! The Musical invites you into a world of velvet, glitter and heartbreak, as Baz Luhrmann's film is reimagined live on stage. Inside the transformed Piccadilly Theatre, red windmills, glowing lamps and sweeping staircases create the feeling of stepping straight into Montmartre's most infamous cabaret. A large company of singer-dancers perform hit after hit from the last few decades, from power ballads to dance anthems, woven into a lavish jukebox musical set in Paris's most famous cabaret. With chart-topping pop songs reinvented with spectacular staging, this production leans into romance, humour and high drama, balancing the love story between Christian and Satine with show-stopping ensemble numbers. It is a big, bold night out that feels half theatre, half concert.
