The first North American tour of “Moulin Rouge! The Musical” is coming to the Lied Center for Performing Arts for a two-week run, Feb. 4 to 16, 2025.
The Broadway sensation, based on Baz Luhrmann’s revolutionary 2001 film, won 10 Tony Awards, including best musical, in 2021.
“We could not be more excited to bring the ‘spectacular, spectacular’ ‘Moulin Rouge’ to Lincoln,” said Bill Stephan, the Lied’s executive director. “Following the historic successes of ‘The Phantom of the Opera’ in 2018 and ‘Hamilton’ in 2023, this marks only the third time in the history of the Lied Center that a Broadway show will run for two full weeks of performances. This show continues to be a smash hit on Broadway, and we have no doubt that it will thrill Nebraska audiences. Whether you loved the movie, you love the music or you love extravagant, opulent, high-energy, over-the-top shows, you must see ‘Moulin Rouge.’”

Directed by Tony Award winner Alex Timbers, “Moulin Rouge! The Musical” is a celebration of truth, beauty, freedom and — above all — love, set at the historic Paris cabaret. Featuring more than 160 years of music — from Jacques Offenbach to Lady Gaga — the stage production includes many of the iconic songs from the Oscar-winning movie, as well as more recent hits.
“Moulin Rouge! The Musical” opened to critical acclaim at New York City’s Al Hirschfeld Theatre in summer 2019 and reopened in September 2021, following the Broadway shutdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In addition to its 10 Tony Awards, the musical won two Drama League Awards, including outstanding musical production; five Drama Desk Awards; and 10 Outer Critics Circle Award Honor citations, including best new Broadway musical.
