The first-ever World Tour of the multi-award winning hit stage show Moulin Rouge! The Musical will be visiting Southampton from Thursday 24 September – Saturday 24 October 2026!
Enter a world of splendour and romance, of eye-popping excess, of glitz, grandeur, and glory! Baz Luhrmann’s revolutionary film comes to life onstage, remixed in a new musical mash-up extravaganza. A celebration of Truth, Beauty, Freedom, and – above all – Love, Moulin Rouge! The Musical is more than a musical – it is a state of mind.
Set in Paris, 1899, a world of indulgent beauty and unparalleled extravagance, of bohemians and aristocrats, of boulevardiers and reprobates, Moulin Rouge! The Musical is the story of a lovesick American writer, Christian, and Satine, the dazzling star of the Moulin Rouge nightclub.
Moulin Rouge! The Musical is the winner of ten 2021 Tony Awards including Best Musical, an Olivier Award, two Drama League Awards including Outstanding Production of a Musical, five Drama Desk Awards and ten Outer Critics Circle Award Honor citations including New Broadway Musical.
We’re absolutely delighted that Moulin Rouge! The Musical will take to the stage at Mayflower Theatre next year as part of our world tour. Southampton’s rich cultural heritage and vibrant creative energy make it a natural home for the Bohemian spirit of Montmartre. The city’s love of performance and storytelling makes it a wonderful match for the show’s passion, music and spectacle. It’s a privilege to share the Moulin Rouge! experience with this remarkable community.
Carmen Pavlovic, producer of Moulin Rouge! The Musical
