It has been announced that the Tony Award®-winning, record-breaking Broadway production of Moulin Rouge! The Musical will play its final performance on 26 July at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre in New York City.
At the time of its closing, it will have played 2,265 regular performances, 24 previews and be the 36th longest running show in Broadway history.
Producer Carmen Pavlovic said: “It’s truly been the honor of a lifetime bringing this exceptional show to Broadway. We couldn’t have done it without Baz Luhrmann and Catherine Martin’s trust in allowing us to adapt their iconic film for the stage and for their creative guidance and generosity throughout. Alex Timbers’ vision and leadership, along with the passion and artistry of our entire creative team, has been unmatched. We’ve always said that Moulin Rouge! The Musical is a celebration of Broadway and of the artists who, against all odds, make it possible. We look forward to six more months of celebrating the remarkable people who created this show and those who perform eight times a week. And before we take our final bow, we have more exciting announcements that we can’t wait to reveal. See you at the Moulin Rouge, Chickens!”
