Love and tragedy beset all, bohemian or aristocrat. Moulin Rouge! The Musical relays, with glitz and glamor, the forbidden romance of an idealistic songwriter and a star performer. Beyond being a splendidly choreographed tale, the Baz Luhrmann film-turned-stage production is the winner of ten Tony Awards. Presented by Broadway San Jose (operated by The Nederlander Organization), this splashy Parisian set specializes in eye-popping excess. It’s the perfect backdrop for music by Elton John, Lady Gaga, and Beyoncé. The show runs for one week, preceded by themed events hosted by local business partners throughout the South Bay.
