"After seven extravagant years, Broadway is getting ready to say au revoir to Moulin Rouge! The Musical. The Tony-winning adaptation of Baz Luhrmann's 2001 film will play its final performance at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre on July 26, closing one of the most commercially successful and visually maximalist runs of the modern Broadway era. Moulin Rouge! officially opened on July 25, 2019, dripping in red velvet, rhinestones and pop culture mashups."
"By closing, Moulin Rouge! will have played 2,265 regular performances and 24 previews, making it the 36th longest-running show in Broadway history. Capitalized at around $28 million, it officially recouped its investment in late 2022. It was the only musical from the disrupted 2019-2020 season to do so and the only show from that season still running until now. The production made its mark artistically too."
Moulin Rouge! The Musical will end its Broadway run at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre on July 26 after seven years. The show opened July 25, 2019, and combined lavish visuals with pop-culture mashups, regularly grossing over $2 million weekly and becoming the Hirschfeld's highest-grossing production. By closing it will have played 2,265 regular performances and 24 previews, and it recouped its roughly $28 million capitalization in late 2022. Directed by Alex Timbers with a book by John Logan and choreography by Sonya Tayeh, the production won 10 Tony Awards in 2021. National tours and international productions continue, with over 12 million attendees worldwide.
