After nearly a decade on the stage, Moulin Rouge! The Musical is officially coming to an end on Broadway.
According to Playbill, legendary jukebox musical based on Baz Luhrmann's 2001 film of the same name will play its final show on Sunday, July 26, 2026, wrapping up one of the most popular musicals of the past 10 years in New York City's theater district.
A rip-roaring, highly unconventional musical piece set in Paris during the turn of the 20th century, Moulin Rouge! follows a young composer who falls head over heels in love with a courtesan cast member of the Moulin Rouge cabaret show.
Like the film it's based upon, the ensuing Broadway musical was known for its zany performances, vivid atmosphere and nonstop array of classic musical dance numbers, including everything from "The Sound of Music" and "Every Breath You Take" to "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend" and "Seven Nation Army."
Following a successful debut in Boston back in 2018, Moulin Rouge! migrated to Broadway's Al Hirschfeld Theatre in June 2019. Upon its initial performances in New York, it earned a total of 14 Tony Award nominations, winning 10 in such categories as Best Musical, Best Direction, Best Choreography and Best Orchestrations.
Discussing the end of the show's run on Broadway, producer Carmen Pavlovic of Global Creatures said, “It’s truly been the honor of a lifetime bringing this exceptional show to Broadway. We couldn’t have done it without Baz Luhrmann and Catherine Martin’s trust in allowing us to adapt their iconic film for the stage and for their creative guidance and generosity throughout. Alex Timbers’ vision and leadership, along with the passion and artistry of our entire creative team, has been unmatched."
"We’ve always said that Moulin Rouge! The Musical is a celebration of Broadway and of the artists who, against all odds, make it possible," Pavlovic said. "We look forward to six more months of celebrating the remarkable people who created this show and those who perform eight times a week. And before we take our final bow, we have more exciting announcements that we can’t wait to reveal. See you at the Moulin Rouge, Chickens!”
