Debuting in the West End in 2022, Baz Luhrmann’s iconic film comes to life onstage, remixed for today in a new musical mash-up extravaganza. Moulin Rouge! The Musical invites you to enter a world of passionate romance and eye-popping splendour… a place where Bohemians and aristocrats revel together in electrifying enchantment… a place where all your wildest dreams come true! 

The current West End cast of Moulin Rouge! The Musical includes Natalie Kassanga (Dreamgirls) as Satine alongside Dom Simpson (The Book of Mormon) as Christian and Craig Ryder (Priscilla Queen of the Desert) as Harold Zidler, having previously covered the role.

The cast also includes Dex Lee (The Scottsboro Boys) as Toulouse-Lautrec, joining Ben Richards (Emmerdale) as The Duke, Ivan De Freitas (& Juliet) as Santiago and Charlotte Gooch (Dirty Dancing) as Nini. Hannah Jay-Allan (Beautiful – The Carole King Musical) and Helen K Wint (Oklahoma!) will alternate the role of Arabia, and Matteo Johnson (Bat Out of Hell) will play Baby Doll, joining Bernadette Bangura (My Fair Lady) as La Chocolat, and Angela Marie Hurst (TINA: The Tina Turner Musical) as Alternate Satine.

Moulin Rouge! The Musical follows the story of a young, idealistic writer named Christian who falls in love with Satine, a beautiful cabaret performer at the famous Moulin Rouge nightclub in Paris. Their passionate romance faces obstacles from a powerful Duke, who also vies for Satine’s affection, promising to keep the club afloat financially in exchange. Set against a backdrop of vibrant music and dazzling spectacle, the musical explores themes of love, ambition, and sacrifice.

Moulin Rouge! The Musical is now extending performances at the Piccadilly Theatre through to 24 May 2025.
