Moulin Rouge: Will the Magic Come to LA?
Okay, so, let's talk about the elephant in the room. Or should I say, the elephant on the stage? We're talking about Moulin Rouge! The Musical, folks. The one with the show-stopping numbers, the dazzling costumes, and a plot that's as sparkly as a diamond tiara. And the burning question on everyone's lips (or at least, the lips of everyone who has seen the show or the movie) is: Will it come to Los Angeles?
The Wait is Killing Us (Softly)
Now, I know what you're thinking. “It’s already been in LA, what are you talking about?” And you're absolutely right, smart one! It did have a fantastic run at the Pantages Theatre. But let's be honest, one taste of that red velvet cake and you're craving seconds, right?
So, is there hope for a Moulin Rouge encore in the City of Angels? Well, let’s just say the rumor mill is churning out more gossip than a Parisian cabaret. Some say a return is inevitable, given the show’s popularity. Others claim it's as likely as finding a sober person at a Mardi Gras parade.
What We Know (Or Think We Know)
The truth is, no one outside of the production company really knows for sure. But we can speculate, right? And speculate we shall. Given the show's success, and the fact that LA is a major theater market, it wouldn't be a huge surprise to see it back. Plus, there's always the possibility of a national tour stopping by.
So, what can we do while we wait (and hope)? We can rewatch the movie a million times, learn all the lyrics to "Come What May," and start practicing our best can-can kick. Or, we can simply enjoy the other amazing shows that LA has to offer. But let's be real, nothing quite compares to the dazzling spectacle of Moulin Rouge.
