An iconic Parisian club, a cinema masterpiece, and now Broadway
musical the Moulin Rouge has been a fascinating phenomenon of
popular culture for over a century. The 2019 Broadway debut of
Moulin Rouge! The Musical astounded theatre critics the New York
Times Ben Brantley declaring the show euphoric and his Critic s
Pick. It quickly became near impossible to get a ticket, breaking
box office records for the Al Hirschfeld Theatre, with a slew of
locals, tourists, and celebrities lining up to visit the latest
incarnation of the red windmill. How was it that a musical, based
on a twenty-year-old film, which in turn was inspired by a
130-year-old French club, was able to electrify Broadway?
Celebrated theatre writer and critic David Cote has been given
unrestricted access to the show s creative team, cast, and crew to
retrace the steps of how Moulin Rouge! The Musical came to be. From
a 2009 meeting with Baz Luhrmann in Sydney, chance introductions,
years of music rights negotiation and re-writes, not to mention a
partial theatre collapse and a pandemic, come what may, this was a
show that was destined to be made. In six chapters of lush photo
essay, the process of crafting Moulin Rouge! The Musical comes to
life with images drawn from the creative team s personal archives,
from early sketches, to swatches, historical research, technical
diagrams, and photos. Accompanied with first-hand accounts of the
highs and lows of creating a show that referenced as much as it
reinvented the Broadway musical, this is a book for bohemians and
aristocrats alike.
