Good theater comes in two flavors- the one that challenges your view on humanity and the one that simply makes you smile. Moulin Rouge is the later. In between the water works that is Dear Evan Hansen and the social commentary of the current Oklahoma revival, we need a show that transports us away from reality and entertains. Based on the popular 2001 Baz Luhrmann film, the highly anticipated stage adaption of Moulin Rouge is, without a doubt, the hottest ticket in town. It offers a sexy and dazzling extravaganza, oozing with musical creativity and visual excess that would make Jay Gatsby’s parties pale in comparison. It is not every night that I leave the theater so enthralled and inspired by a show, who’s cast, direction, design, and music are cohesive and combine to create a remarkable, post-modern experience.
