Moulin Rouge! officially opened in London on 20 January at the Piccadilly Theatre. The cast of Moulin Rouge! is led by Liisi LaFontaine and Jamie Bogyo in the roles of Satine and Christian.

There can be few shows that have been quite so pushed from pillar to post by Covid. The West End version of Moulin Rouge! The Musical has stuttered, started and stopped a dizzying number of times. After winning 10 Tony awards on Broadway, the long-awaited adaptation of Baz Luhrmann’s extravagant 2001 film is now officially open at a red velvet-swathed Piccadilly Theatre in a blaze of sparkle and light.

All new production photos have been released for Moulin Rouge! in the West End. The musical opens on 20 January at the Piccadilly Theatre. The cast of Moulin Rouge! is led by Liisi LaFontaine and Jamie Bogyo in the roles of Satine and Christian.

We chat to the cast of Moulin Rouge! The Musical about bringing the spectacular spectacular to the West End.

Though hardly an ideal start to the new theatrical year, we want to applaud all of the incredible casts, creatives, backstage and front-of-house staff who are working so hard to keep shows on. If you can support productions, please do – whether revisiting an amazing long-running show or checking out something new. And speaking of which: here are some of the most intriguing London additions for this month. Keep checking back for our reviews, interviews and features!

Performances of Moulin Rouge! The Musical will resume this evening at the Piccadilly Theatre with a new official Opening Night set for Sunday 9 January 2022.

Moulin Rouge! The Musical will officially open at the Piccadilly Theatre on December 8. Liisi LaFontaine and Jamie Bogyo lead the production in the roles of Satine and Christian.

Moulin Rouge! The Musical has become the first show in the West End to require that their audiences wear face coverings throughout the show. Mask-wearing is asked of audiences in the West End, but it is not mandatory. 

The hit Broadway musical, Moulin Rouge!, is set to make its West End debut this November!

En 2015, un 17 de febrero, HAMILTON subía el telón por primera vez off-Broadway. El aclamado musical de Lin Manuel Miranda se estrenaba en Public Theatre bajo la dirección de Thomas Kail y la coreografía de Andy Blankenbuehler.

Un 21 de diciembre de 2017 el telón del Victoria Palace Theatre se alzaba para acoger al gran éxito de los últimos años en Broadway: HAMILTON.

On this day in 2017, Lin Manuel-Miranda's Hamilton brought its revolution to London's West End!

Hamilton will make its return to the West End next year! According to the show's official social media accounts, the hit musical returns to the Victoria Palace Theatre in May 2021.

As part of the EFG London Jazz Festival, join Olivier award nominee Jason Pennycooke and Associate Musical Director of Hamilton, Chris Hatt, for the best of the West End and Broadway, with a jazz flavour that'll get your Sunday toes tapping at Crazy Coqs.

An only concert Hello Harry! - A Celebration of 40 Years at Stage Door, will be held in honor of Harry Gabriel, hosted by Giles Terera and the Shaftesbury Theatre, and featuring Dame Judi Dench, Anthony Hopkins, Chita Rivera, Beverley Knight, Eddie Izzard, Clive Rowe, Sharon D Clarke and more.

Sadly, the 2020 Olivier Awards won't be going ahead as planned due to the coronavirus shutdown, although ITV will broadcast a highlights show. So, BroadwayWorld reviewers have been thinking back to some of our favourite Oliviers winners, nominees and performances from past years - plus some of the incredible nominees from this year who we would have loved to see honoured.
