# Moulin Rouge! (comédie musicale)

Moulin Rouge! The Musical est une comédie musicale juke-box avec un livret de John Logan. La comédie musicale est basée sur le film Moulin Rouge sorti en 2001, réalisé par Baz Luhrmann et écrit par Luhrmann et Craig Pearce.
La comédie musicale a été créée le 10 juillet 2018 au Emerson Colonial Theatre à Boston. Moulin Rouge! a débuté à Broadway au Al Hirschfeld Theatre, avec des avant-premières à partir du 28 juin 2019 pour s'ouvrir officiellement le 25 juillet.

## Contexte

En 2002-2003, des rumeurs sur la possibilité d'une comédie musicale basée sur Moulin Rouge! avaient été entendues, peut-être à Las Vegas, mais aucune déclaration publique n'avait été faite à ce sujet. Certaines sources ont affirmé en 2006 que le réalisateur Baz Luhrmann avait approché les protagonistes du film, Nicole Kidman et Ewan McGregor, pour jouer dans la version sur scène.
En 2016, il a été annoncé qu'une comédie musicale était en cours de développement par Global Creatures sous la direction d'Alex Timbers.
Un atelier a eu lieu en 2017, avec Aaron Tveit et Karen Olivo.

## Synopsis

L'action de Moulin Rouge! se situe dans le quartier de Montmartre à Paris, à la Belle Époque au début du XXe siècle. La comédie musicale raconte l'histoire de Christian, un jeune compositeur, tombé amoureux de l'actrice de cabaret Satine, vedette du Moulin-Rouge. Semblable au film, la partition de la comédie musicale associe des chansons originales à des musiques populaires, « y compris des chansons écrites durant les 17 années écoulées depuis la sortie du film »$^,$$^,$.

## Productions
### Boston (2018)

Moulin Rouge! devait commencer les représentations en avant-première le 27 juin 2018 au Emerson Colonial Theatre à Boston. L'ouverture officielle de la production était prévue pour le 22 juillet 2018 et devrait s'achever le 5 août 2018. Le 6 juin, il a été annoncé que la production de Boston serait prolongée de 16 représentations supplémentaires jusqu'au 19 août. Les retards de construction dans la rénovation du théâtre colonial Emerson ont eu pour effet de repousser la date de la première représentation au 10 juillet 2018. La production présente une chorégraphie de Sonya Tayeh, des décors de Derek McLane et des costumes de Catherine Zuber. La conception de l'éclairage revient à Justin Townsend et la conception sonore à Peter Hylenski.

### Broadway (2019)

Le 19 novembre 2018, il a été annoncé que Moulin Rouge! ouvrirait sur Broadway au Al Hirschfeld Theatre. Les représentations à Broadway ont commencé le 28 juin 2019 et la soirée d'ouverture a eu lieu le 25 juillet.

### Melbourne (2021)

Le 28 juillet 2019, la productrice Carmen Pavlovic de Global Creatures a annoncé que la première internationale de la comédie musicale aurait lieu dans son pays d'origine, l'Australie. Le spectacle ouvrira ses portes au Regent Theatre de Melbourne en 2021$^,$.
