This winter, Shanghai New Bund 31 Performing Arts Center will transform into the legendary Parisian nightclub as the multi-award-winning Moulin Rouge! The Musical makes its grand Shanghai debut as part of its first-ever world tour.
This is not just a musical; it is a spectacular, high-octane celebration of truth, beauty, freedom, and—above all—love.
Nicole Kidman as Satine in 'Moulin Rouge' (2001)
Inspired by Baz Luhrmann’s revolutionary 2001 film, the stage production remixes the story into a dazzling new musical mash-up extravaganza.
With a book by John Logan, direction by Alex Timbers, and choreography by Sonya Tayeh—all three Tony Award winners—the show is a masterclass in theatrical innovation that has captivated over 12 million audience members worldwide.
A Story of Forbidden Love

The story unfolds in Paris in 1899, a bohemian playground of indulgence and unparalleled extravagance.
Here, the lives of Christian and Satine collide—he a lovesick American writer, she the dazzling star of the Moulin Rouge.
They fall hopelessly in love, a romance that is as beautiful as it is doomed.
Their passion is immediately threatened by the nightclub’s manipulative host, Harold Zidler, and the powerful, entitled Duke of Monroth, who believes his wealth can buy anything—including Satine.

To win Satine’s heart and save the Moulin Rouge, Christian and his bohemian friends—the brilliant artist Toulouse-Lautrec and the greatest tango dancer in Paris, Santiago—stage a musical spectacular.
It's a tale of passion, jealousy, and creative genius set against the backdrop of the city of love.
A Global Phenomenon
Since its world premiere in 2018, Moulin Rouge! The Musical has become a global phenomenon, having won over 10 Tony Awards—including Best Musical—along with Drama Desk Awards, an Olivier Award, and a Grammy nomination.
The production brings together more than 70 songs spanning over 160 years of music history—from timeless classics to the biggest pop anthems of recent decades.
Fans of Baz Luhrmann’s iconic 2001 film will recognise beloved songs including 'Come What May' and 'Your Song,' originally performed by Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor, bringing the romance and emotion of the film to life on stage.
The musical also reimagines global hits from some of the world’s most celebrated artists, including Lady Gaga’s 'Bad Romance,' Katy Perry’s 'Firework,' Adele’s 'Rolling in the Deep,' and Whitney Houston’s 'I Will Always Love You.'
Blending generations of music into one spectacular stage experience, Moulin Rouge! The Musical transforms familiar songs into a dazzling celebration of love, passion and performance.
The World Tour Comes to Shanghai
For its Shanghai season, the production brings all the spectacle of the World Tour, including the iconic Windmill and Elephant set pieces that are synonymous with the show.
The Shanghai run is a festive event, spanning the Christmas and New Year holidays.
Right now, tickets for the first two weeks of the run are on sale, with the tickets for the final week going on sale at a later date.
A series of special events, surprises, and interactive experiences have been planned throughout.
To celebrate, limited-time ticket offers are available from August 21–31:

Exclusive Shanghai Experiences
The Shanghai engagement is also pioneering a unique experience: it will be the first major musical production in China to offer a drink-while-you-watch experience across the entire auditorium.
For the ultimate proximity to the spectacle, only 28 'Diamond Seats' per performance are available, positioned close to the stage between the iconic Windmill and Elephant, and including a complimentary Moët Mini Bottle.
Specific dates, like December 24 and 25, will feature special holiday enhancements including mulled wine, a red and green dress code, a vintage camera experience, and a confetti celebration.
