Since Moulin Rouge: The Musical first opened on Broadway in 2018, critics have described the show with words like spectacular, extravagant, jaw-dropping, euphoric, Hedonistic, and wild, living up to the magic and majesty of Baz Luhrmann's iconic 2001 film. And now, Asia gets to witness its splendor, as the musical makes it way to the Sands Theatre at the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore come February 2027, as part of its first international tour.
A production of Base Entertainment Asia, Moulin Rouge: The Musical draws you into a world of splendor and romance, of eye-popping excess, of glitz, grandeur, and glory. Baz Luhrmann’s revolutionary film comes to life onstage, remixed in a new musical mash-up extravaganza, performed by a world-class international cast. "The musical has captivated audiences from Broadway to the West End and beyond, and we are thrilled to present its Southeast Asia premiere in Singapore," says Chief Executive Officer of Base Entertainment Asia, Chantal Prudhomme. "Audiences are invited to be swept away by an intoxicating, unapologetically extravagant theatrical experience that has dazzled millions worldwide.”
Considered to be a mash-up, instead of a jukebox, musical, the show features over 70 iconic songs, from the likes of Adele, Katy Perry, Sia, Rihanna, Beyoncé, and Lady Gaga, including some of the most memorable ballads and music from the movie.
Set in Paris in 1899, amid a dazzling world of excess and allure, Moulin Rouge! The Musical follows Christian, an idealistic American writer who falls in love with Satine, the star courtesan of the famed Moulin Rouge. As their romance is tested by social pressures and circumstance, the pair struggle to hold on to a love shaped by truth, beauty, freedom, and, above all, passion.
A global hit, the production has earned 10 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, as well as an Olivier Awards, two Drama League Awards, five Drama Desk Awards, and multiple Outer Critics Circle Awards honors.
The world tour is produced by Carmen Pavlovic and Gerry Ryan for Global Creatures, alongside Bill Damaschke.
A ticket waitlist has opened and runs until May 3, 2026, with additional release dates and partner promotions available via the Base Entertainment website.
