The worldwide blockbuster production of Moulin Rouge! The Musical will open at the Sydney Lyric in March 2027, with an all new Australian cast, delivering the same internationally acclaimed spectacle fans know and love.
Baz Luhrmann’s revolutionary film comes to life onstage, remixed in a new musical mash-up extravaganza featuring over 70 songs and more than 160 years of music. Moulin Rouge! The Musical is a theatrical celebration of Truth, Beauty, Freedom, and — above all — Love.
Moulin Rouge! The Musical is the winner of ten 2021 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, an Olivier Award, two Drama League Awards including Outstanding Production of a Musical, five Drama Desk Awards and ten Outer Critics Circle Award Honor citations including New Broadway Musical.
The 2027 Sydney season marks a homecoming sparked by demand, following a sold-out Australian national tour, culminating in February 2024, that welcomed 1.4 million theatregoers across Melbourne, Sydney, Perth and Brisbane.
Following its pre-Broadway engagement in Boston in 2018, and earning rave reviews, Moulin Rouge! The Musical set its sights on New York City, officially opening at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre on 25 July 2019, making history as the first Australian-produced musical to originate on Broadway.
Melbourne became the first international city to host the production after its electric Broadway debut, opening at the Regent Theatre in 2021 to rave reviews. The season also marked the 20th anniversary of Baz Luhrmann’s revolutionary film – a full circle celebration of an Australian story turned global phenomenon.
Sold-out seasons in Sydney, Brisbane and Perth followed. A sold out return Melbourne season in 2023/24 closed the original Australian tour – a poetic finale where it all began.
Auditions for the next superstar Aussie cast commence in Sydney from 16–21 March 2026, before moving to Melbourne from 23–28 March 2026.
Pre-sale tickets for the Sydney season will be available to waitlist members from 10am AEDT on Monday 23rd February 2026. Tickets go on sale to the general public at 9am AEDT on Thursday 26th February 2026 from Ticketmaster.
