TonzaThe most recent Moulin Rouge is a musical based on the 1996 film of the same name, which tells a love story that falls apart in Paris at the end of the 19th century. The musical uses many popular songs, combining classical with modernity to create a stage world full of colour and charm. The musical is starring Christian, a young poet with a high artistic talent, who comes to Paris to meet a group of bohemian artists who invite him to work on a stage play. In the process, he falls in love with the star of the Moulin Rouge nightclub, Shaun, a beautiful and tragic prostitute pursued by a rich and mean duke, whose love is hindered and threatened by all sides and ends in tragedy. The musical’s biggest highlight is its music and dance beauty. The musical uses more than 70 popular songs, including works by well-known singers and bands such as Lady Gaga, Maddonna, Queen, Elton John. These songs are cleverly choreographed and mixed, echoing the plot and characters, both romantic and warm love songs and enthusiastic rock dances. There are also many original songs in the musical, such as "Come What May" and "El Tango de Roxanne", which are very beautiful and touching. The musicals are also very good at dance beauty. The stage design is inspired by the scenes in the film, which restores the Moulin Rouge nightclub, Montmartre, Moonlight Garden and other places to life. The stage uses a large number of lights, ribbons, balloons, petals and other props to create a luxurious and dreamy atmosphere. The costume design is also very beautiful, reflecting the fashion style of Paris at the time, but also reflecting the character and mood of each character. The actors in the musicals are also very good. The main character is played by Aaron Tveit, who has a clear and emotional voice that shows Christian's innocence, enthusiasm and talent. Sharon is played by Karen Olivo, with a strong and moving voice that makes Sharon beautiful, sad and strong. Other characters such as Duke, Zidler, Toulouse have also had excellent singing and acting skills, adding a lot to the musical. In short, Moulin Rouge is a Broadway musical worth seeing, bringing the film’s wonderful stories and music to the stage in a completely new way, giving audiences a familiar and novel charm. It is a musical full of love, art and passion, and it is a musical that makes people laugh, tears and touch. If you have the opportunity to go to New York, you may wish to see this musical, I believe you will have a memorable memory.
