After captivating audiences in eight productions of Moulin Rouge! The Musical worldwide, we were thrilled to announce our next adventure – a World Tour!
Our passion for sharing this beloved spectacle burns brighter than ever, and after more than five years since first opening on Broadway, taking Moulin Rouge! The Musical on the road, starting in the UK and Europe, felt like the perfect next step.
Touring globally has given us the opportunity to bring Moulin Rouge! The Musical to cities that otherwise may not have had the chance to host the show as a long-running production. We’re delighted that the World Tour allows us to share this spectacular story with even more audiences across the globe.
A glittering cast takes centre stage on the World Tour, led by Verity Thompson as Satine with Nate Landskroner as Christian. Cameron Blakely brings flair to Harold Zidler, while Kurt Kansley joins as Toulouse-Lautrec, Rodrigo Negrini as Santiago, James Bryers as The Duke, Kahlia Davis as Nini, Summer Priest as Arabia, Scott Sutcliffe as Baby Doll, and Ellie Jane Grant as La Chocolat. Rounding out this talented cast is Patrice Tipoki as Alternate Satine.
The World Tour kicked off at the Edinburgh Playhouse on 22 April 2025, before taking a trip around the United Kingdom with stops in Bristol, Manchester, and Birmingham, and then crossing into new territories with highly anticipated performances in Dublin, Ireland and Zurich, Switzerland. We look forward to bringing Moulin Rouge! The Musical to even more destinations to be announced soon.
The World Tour of Moulin Rouge! The Musical is produced by Carmen Pavlovic and Gerry Ryan OAM for Global Creatures and Bill Damaschke. Executive Producers of the World Tour are Angela Dalton and Nick Grace Management. General Management and Tour Booking by Nick Grace Management (NGM).
