Baz Luhrmann’s hit stage musical Moulin Rouge!, based on his award-winning film, is adding more dates to its West End run.

Moulin Rouge! The Musical will now play at London’s Piccadilly Theatre, until 21 February 2026.

The show has also added a number of Sunday performances to the schedule from 28 December 2025.

Last month, Moulin Rouge! celebrated an importance milestone, welcoming its 10 millionth visitor worldwide.

Moulin Rouge! The Musical is set in Paris in 1899, in a world of indulgent beauty and unparalleled extravagance, of bohemians and aristocrats, of boulevardiers and reprobates.

The story centres on lovesick American writer Christian, and Satine, the dazzling star of the Moulin Rouge nightclub.

The current West End cast includes Natalie Kassanga as Satine, Dom Simpson as Christian, Craig Ryder as Harold Zidler, Dex Lee as Toulouse-Lautrec, Ben Richards as The Duke, Ivan De Freitas as Santiago, Charlotte Gooch as Nini, Hannah Jay-Allan and Helen K Wint who alternate the role of Arabia, Matteo Johnson as Baby Doll, Bernadette Bangura as La Chocolat, and Angela Marie Hurst as Alternate Satine.

The full cast is completed by Oliver Adam-Reynolds, Takaiyah Bailey, Erin Bell, Emily Bolland, Ross Chisari, Athena Collins, James Davies-Williams, Katie Deacon, Serenar Douch, Rola Elliott, Myles Hart, Grace Hawksworth, Maiya Hikasa, Melvin LeBlanc, Tom Mather, Kira McPherson, Paul Mukembo, Dean Read, Ben Rutter, Gavin Ryan, Mark Samaras, Jamie Shields, Catrin Thomas, Lindsey Tierney, Alex Tranter, Matt Trevorrow, Kevin Tristan, Ben Whitnall, and Sasha Woodward.

Dom Simpson has announced that he is leaving the show on 11 October 2025, plus other cast including Alex Tranter, so expect news of a new Moulin Rouge! West End cast soon.

Based on the movie by Baz Luhrmann, Moulin Rouge! is directed by Alex Timbers, and has a book by John Logan, choreography by Sonya Tayeh, music supervision, orchestrations and arrangements by Justin Levine, set design by Derek McLane, costume design by Catherine Zuber, lighting design by Justin Townsend, sound design by Peter Hylenski, wig and hair design by David Brian Brown, make-up design by Sarah Cimino, and music production by Matt Stine.

A new Moulin Rouge! The Musical tour is also currently playing in the UK, and is about to open at the Bristol Hippodrome on 26 June.

Moulin Rouge! The Musical is now playing at the Piccadilly Theatre, booking until 21 February 2026.
