MOULIN ROUGE! THE MUSICAL will return to Melbourne in 2023

Bohemians of Melbourne, The Spectacular returns!

After celebrating a coup of stellar reviews and a sold-out premiere season at the iconic Regent Theatre, Moulin Rouge! The Musical announces a return Melbourne season, with performances commencing from August 2023.

“Melbourne audiences have embraced Moulin Rouge! The Musical so warmly, it’s been a joy to witness it’s profound impact on the city. We simply couldn’t ignore the scores of people that didn’t get a chance to experience the show in Melbourne. An opportunity arose, and we decided to seize the moment to return to Melbourne and give the audiences what they’ve been asking for,” said Global Creatures CEO and Producer of Moulin Rouge! The Musical Carmen Pavlovic.

The Regent Theatre is absolutely resplendent when dressed in rouge, and we can’t wait to bring this sparkling diamond of a show back to delight the bohemians of Melbourne in 2023.

Melbourne was the first international city to host the 10-time Tony Award winning show after its dazzling Broadway debut. The Regent Theatre season coincided with the 20th anniversary year of Baz Luhrmann’s revolutionary film MOULIN ROUGE!
Despite losing more than 15 weeks of the season due to Covid-19 lockdowns in Victoria, Moulin Rouge! The Musical continued to captivate Melbourne, welcoming scores of enthralled guests to every sold-out performance across the Regent Theatre season.
Minister for Tourism, Sport and Major Events Martin Pakula welcomed the news commenting, “Moulin Rouge! The Musical returning for another season in Melbourne proves that our city is Australia’s musical theatre capital. Major productions like Moulin Rouge! The Musical attract thousands of visitors to Melbourne and they provide a big boost to our economy.”
