Moulin Rouge! The Musical synopsis
Moulin Rouge! The Musical tells the story of the wide-eyed Christian, an American writer, and how he comes to fall in love with Satine, the Parisian nightclub’s star. The pair fall hopelessly in love but Moulin Rouge owner Harold Zidler, along with The Duke of Monroth, the club’s new patron who is as entitled as he is wealthy, have other plans. The Duke believes his money can buy him anything he wants including Satine. Christian attempts to win the heart of Satine with the help of his Bohemian friends, Toulouse-Lautrec and Santiago, as they stage an extravagant musical spectacular.
