Moulin Rouge – The Musical at Morrison Center

During its brainstorming stage, Moulin Rouge! The Musical had to take on the challenge of exceeding or at least being at equal footing with the original film created by Baz Luhrmann. As viewers can attest to, Moulin Rouge in Broadway has become one of Broadway's treasures with an impressive turnout each show from both original film and Broadway fans. Broadway World’s Miranda Keating even lauded the musical after viewing, stating “Truthfully, as as the curtain was pulled back, I was immediately plunged into the beauty of what was designed as 19th century Paris. When the final act concluded, I originally had no words. I was absolutely enamored with what I just watched.” The Broadway hit continues its runs to date, now reaching Boise and to be produced at Morrison Center For The Performing Arts on Saturday 31st January 2026, Morrison Center For The Performing Arts renowned for being one of the state's top entertainment venues with a beautiful stage, acoustics, and design both in and out of the theatre.

Moulin Rouge's plot itself is a fresh retelling of the 2001 film following Christian and Satine, an American composer travels to Montmartre, Paris to find out his dream and path in life, and a star entertainer in the Moulin Rouge entertainment venue, respectively. The two lovers begin a secret affair as they get to know each other, and it is in their affair that they go back and forth as they try to unsuccessfully stop themselves, though their love for each other pushes them on.

In the running time of 2 hours and 45 minutes of the full play, this story is presented largely through song, with smashing arrangements from the production, which is a blend of mash-ups, medleys, and even classical numbers. Manchester Media Group reported that the musical is “a musical full of life because of its brilliant cast and crew.” From choreography to the jawdropping musical accompaniments, the musical’s sparkle is very evident; consider the fact that even the cast is composed of singer superstars like Aaron Tveit and Karen Olivo performing the title roles of Christian and Satine and you have a box office hit on your hands.
