Moulin Rouge! The Musical Reviews

Natalie from Dallas, Texas

AS A HUGE MOULIN ROUGE FANATIC... JUST NO.

The set, costumes, and performers were beautiful. Outstanding. Harold Zidler was incredible. Everything else fell very flat. Completely strayed from the storyline that is such a masterpiece. The modern songs were awful and unnecessary. They turned a beautiful tragedy into a cheap comedy. I was extremely disappointed. And they made Christian whiny and unbearable. There was no chemistry or story build up. It was pretty, but would have been better as a concert and not a production.

A CRUISE LINE PERFORMANCE

Although the set was beautiful, I’ve seen better performances on Cruise lines. A poor attempt to modernize the score made this a miss in many ways. Intermission exits high.

WEAK STORY

I would not be giving justice to the Hamilton and others if I gave this any more than 2 stars. The weak story, weeping singing for large portion of the song and some costumes on some folks almost beg you to walkout.

RATHER GROSS AND INSULTING TO FEMALES

The show is gross and shows females being used and mistreated by men. There are threats of violence to female characters in the play, and sexual exploitation. It is absolutely not appropriate for children, and in general is a low class, gross play. Better to spend your $ elsewhere.

MOULON ROGUE

While the set dazzled, the performers were outshines by all of it. The sound was akin to theater in the old Bob Carr. With a diluted story for the woke, they did everyting to make you want to see the movie again just to be reassured that good story telling and character development still is possible. Not here, and worse of all, NO WINDMILL!

ROUGH

I don't know where to start. I hated the Movie but really like the cast recording & thought on stage it would be better. I also hoped that a couple of decades would have improved or my criticism mellowed. The audience was laughing @ the horribly written lines & they were the "serious" moments. That was distracting & I felt terrible for the actors. Sets, Costumes, lighting & the performers were great. Just the Book is so bad. I know there wasn't much TONY competition the year it won so I can understand how it won so many. I've never seen so many leave at intermission. I was looking so forward to it too. I just counted this as my charitable donation to the ARTS.

WHAT A MASSIVE DISAPPOINTMENT

Poor sound quality The story reinvented (not for the better) Music missing But a steaming pile of karaoke songs added for some inexplicable reason. Shame
