This lavish film from pop-music-obsessed Luhrmann tweaks the conventions of the musical genre by mixing a period romance with anachronistic dialogue and songs.

Ewan McGregor stars as Christian, who meets the absinthe- and alcohol-addicted Toulouse-Lautrec (John Leguizamo) at The Moulin Rouge dance hall in 1890s Montmartre. Star courtesan Satine (Nicole Kidman) becomes the star of the play Christian is writing, which parallels the couple’s romance and uses music from a century later, including songs by Nirvana, Madonna, the Beatles, and Queen.

Tickets include a Moulin Rouge cocktail on arrival and an exclusive burlesque mini-performance from the Hippodrome Hunnies before the film.
Please note: This screening is partly seated at tables in cabaret style [first come, first seated] with waiter service throughout the film.
