Moulin Rouge – The Musical at Belk Theater

Since its debut in New York at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre in half a decade ago up to its current run in Belk Theatre at Blumenthal Performing Arts Center, Moulin Rouge! The Musical has been one of the ultimate shows looked for by local and international audiences. Moulin Rouge, being an adaptation of a successful film, is of interest to a substantial reach of audiences and has cemented its position in Broadway history.

The musical tells the story of Christian, an aspiring American writer who travels to Paris to launch a successful career, who then bumps into and eventually is swept off his feet by the star entertainer Satine of the Moulin Rouge nightclub, one of the highly sought out nightclubs in Montmartre in the late 19th century. Their relationship however is more difficult than imagined, as Christian and Satine start to experience a series of challenges, including the ire of one of Moulin Rouge’s longtime benefactors, the duke of Monroth who targets Satine for himself and stops Christian from a public relationship with Satine.

The title roles of Christian and Satine were introduced by Award-winning actor Aaron Tveit (for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role in a Musical), and Tony Award Nominee Karen Olivo (for Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role in a Musical) respectively. They were supported by a star-studded and equally-awarded cast including Danny Burstein (Best Performance by an Actor in a Featured Role in a Musical), and Tony Award Nominee Sahr Ngaujah (Best Performance by an Actor in a Featured Role in a Musical) making up one of the best Broadway casts. Running the production, Tony winners such as Alex Timbers (Best Direction of a Musical), Sonya Tayeh (Best Choreography), and Justin Levine with Katie Kresek, Charlie Rosen, and Matt Stine (Best Orchestrations) run an outstanding musical.

This coming May’s adaptation of Moulin Rouge! The Musical is to be staged at Belk Theatre at Blumenthal Performing Arts Center in Charlotte. Belk Theatre at Blumenthal Performing Arts Center has long been known as one of the picturesque landmarks in the entire state of North Carolina, with not only a unique exterior but also the ultimate interior decor suited to produce such a world-class stage adaptation.
