The Musical will end its Broadway run in July. The musical will play its final performance at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre on July 26, after initially opening at the theater on July 25, 2019. The musical's initial run was curtailed by the pandemic, as all Broadway productions were shuttered March 12, 2020, but the show resumed performances at the theater on Sept. 24, 2021. It is the only new show from the 2019-2020 season that is still running, as many shows were either unable to return or survive amid reduced audiences upon reopening. The musical, which is based on the 2001 film, was capitalized for up to $28 million, as the show revamped the Al Hirschfeld Theatre into a Parisian nightclub and uses well-known pop songs in its score, such as Katy Perry's "Firework." Moulin Rouge! recouped its investment in late 2022. Related Stories Business Broadway Box Office: 'Mamma Mia!'

Moulin Rouge! The Musical is directed by Alex Timbers, with a book by John Logan, choreography by Sonya Tayeh and music supervision, orchestrations and arrangements by Justin Levine. In total, the show won 10 Tony Awards, including best musical, where it was up against two other nominees as part of the shortened season. The show is also playing across North America on a national tour, in London's West End, Germany, Korea, The Netherlands and in non-replica productions in Scandinavia and Italy. The musical had its world premiere in summer 2018 at the Emerson Colonial Theatre in Boston. "It's truly been the honor of a lifetime bringing this exceptional show to Broadway. We couldn't have done it without Baz Luhrmann and Catherine Martin's trust in allowing us to adapt their iconic film for the stage and for their creative guidance and generosity throughout. Alex Timbers' vision and leadership, along with the passion and artistry of our entire creative team, has been unmatched," said producer Carmen Pavlovic. "We've always said that Moulin Rouge! The Musical is a celebration of Broadway and of the artists who, against all odds, make it possible. We look forward to six more months of celebrating the remarkable people who created this show and those who perform eight times a week."
