That made me shudder. It will be Alexandra Burke Almost worse. She’s filming a TV drama for Paramount Plus at the moment, after her film Pretty Red Dress, for which she received a BIFA acting nomination. She has two kids under 2 so it’s unlikely she’ll want to tour any time soon.

Oh wowsers! Shaun Tossel just revealed that this is doing an international tour starting in the UK!!! If only we’d known this a week or so ago. 😂 It’s like being gaslit by the internet.

Dr Ranj on a heavy pencil for Satine. Surely they’ve already booked one of the Loose Women?!

I wonder how different the set will be in comparison to the other smaller touring productions. Almost every Moulin Rouge is radically different in some little or large way..!

Just noticed that at the Piccadilly, weekday matinee has now changed from Wednesdays to Thursdays - that must have been quite recently?

Saw the show tonight. What a spectacle! It start’s by walking into the theatre and seeing the beautiful set. Clearly this is a show that brings people in from all walks of life. The show started with the question to not sing and/or dance along until the end of the show.
We had Tanisha Spring as Santine who has an astounding voice and played the role very good. Her chemistry with Dom Simpson as Christian is very good. Dom has a very beautiful voice and sung his longs out tonight. Craig Ryder was on as Harold Zidler and was doing an amazing job.
The thing with Moulin Rouge for me is the usage of modern pop songs. As good as they sometimes fit, it doesn’t hit home for me. Most people have their own story with these songs and it takes away any emotional attachement to the story.
The show itself looks amazing. The ensemble were really living their best life and performing the show with so much energy.
I had a lot of fun and enjoyed seeing the show. Could really recommend this if you want to have a joyfull night out!

I managed to get a table seat through the Friday rush. From a view point, it's the perfect place to sit. A slight annoyance is that I booked the aisle seat, but the numbers were the other way around when I arrived, so I was sat one seat in. I suspect this isn't usually an issue as they sell them in pairs. I had enough room anyway, but those seats are really uncomfortable.
I haven't seen Dom on as Christian much, but he's very good. Angela was on as Satine and she is stunning on the role.
I did finally get to see Craig Ryder as Zigler. A very different portrayal to Matt Rixon, harsher at some points, more sympathetic at others. Lovely to see. He's also a brilliant Duke.
A great night of entertainment. Even better, Zack flirted with me at the end. What more can you want from a night of entertainment?

Enjoyed this on Tuesday . I had previously seen it in Melbourne which is a far superior theatre and a stage much wider so it did seem very busy at times as they tried to squash everything in to what looks like a small space. Having said that the cast were great and the staging is good given the confines of the small stage.

Saw this earlier in July, first time, wanted to catch it before it closes. Didn’t really have any expectations apart from having enjoyed other Baz Luhrman things in the past.
MR was not for me, and it would only be three stars. I haven’t truly understood why jukebox musical label could be a negative until this show, my fault for being unprepared for the belted medleys. I could see that other people enjoyed that aspect a lot, so that was just me.
My problem, though, was the volume. It was so, so loud. I guess it might matter where you sit - I was in the gods - but the volume was painfully loud. I bring earplugs to clubs and concerts as a matter of course, but I have never before sat in a theatre and longed for earplugs. I had my fingers in my ears at some point, and ended up putting my phone earplugs in just to have some protection, but I did consider leaving at the interval to save my ears.
Was I unlucky with my seat, or is this show ridiculously loud on purpose? Would love to know, and to know if there are any other shows that are similarly loud.

Totally agree on the volume - MJ and Starlight also will also need you to bring earplugs!
