Moulin Rouge in Melbourne: Say "Au Revoir" But Not Forever!
So listen up, culture vultures and fans of can-can dancers! You're probably wondering, how long is the dazzling Moulin Rouge sticking around in Melbourne? Well, darlings, grab a glass of bubbles (because why not?) because we have some news.
The Moulin Rouge Musical had its final curtain call in February 2024. We know, tragic, right? We all shed a single sequined tear (or maybe that was just leftover mascara). But don't despair entirely! This flamboyant masterpiece might just be taking a little Parisian vacation.
Here's the thing: Moulin Rouge was a smash hit in Melbourne, selling out like hot baguettes at a hipster market. There's always a chance it might sashay back onto the stage in the future. So keep those berets on standby, and those can-can kicks primed, because you never know when the sparkling spectacle might return!
In the meantime, here are some other ideas to quench your thirst for theatrical thrills:
- Check out Melbourne's incredible theatre scene! From laugh-out-loud comedies to heart-wrenching dramas, there's something for everyone.
- Dust off that Baz Luhrmann movie. It's almost as good as the live experience (almost).
- Channel your inner Satine and practice your best rendition of "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend" in the shower. Just be sure the neighbours aren't opera singers themselves.
