POP CULTURE INSPIRED

The main characters Christian and Satin are not as breathtaking as you want them to be. As you are watching you want to enjoy songs that are associated with this musical the most but instead you find a medley of pop culture songs. There were a lot of disappointing moments. I also don't understand why you have to throw jokes all around. Sometimes you want to embrace the deepness of emotions.

SPECTACULAR SHOW EXPERIENCE RUINED BY ROCK-CONCERT SOUND LEVELS

My wife loves musicals, so recently we attended the production of Moulin Rouge at the Hollywood Pantages Theater. It was our first full-production musical since the onset of the pandemic, so I had forgotten to prepare for what I might encounter. As a result, the onslaught of pyrotechnic level sound volumes undoubtedly damaged my ears as they’re still ringing a day later. I'm down rating the production for not warning the audience ahead of time that it was going to be exposed to rock concert sound levels.

DOES NOT COMPARE TO THE MOVIE.

The sets, costumes , singing and acting were very good. However the altered storyline and revamped song mashup did not further character development at all and actually was disappointing . Overall skip it and watch the film .. my review MEH!!!

IT WAS OK, JUST DON'T EXPECT THE MOVIE

I will start off by saying that I am not a theater goer, & this is the first musical I have seen since I was a teenager, 42 now. And Moulin Rouge the movie is one of my top 3 favorites of all time. I went in expecting a stage version of the movie, & I wish I had known that's not what this was. While the loose outline & characters were there, too much of the storyline was changed & WAY TOO MUCH new music was introduced. I can understand adding a FEW newer songs, the movie is over 20 years old. But they mashed in so much new stuff, that they cut the original songs way too short. And for some reason a good portion of the audience thought it was a great time to laugh every, single, time, a new song was introduced. Not to mention bust out laughing during the "she doesn't love you" scene. I know the audience is out of the casts control, but it really took something away from the performance. Not as captivating I guess. With all the fees & everything, $100 a ticket is too much for this.

THE SET WAS AMAZING… BUT NOTHING ELSE

No chemistry, jumbled rewrite of the story that just didn’t work. The new songs lost the passion and longing that is the Moulin Rouge. I get wanting to add updated songs, but at least try to make it new instead of just a cover. Acting was off, especially Satine. More like a Disney princess than a Courtesan. Zig Ziegler and Christian actors good. Other characters sadly under utilized. Happy to have supported the arts, but this was so disappointing.

SO LOUD IT HURT OUR EARDRUMS

The acoustics in this hall were horrible. It was so loud you could barely understand what was being said or sung and it literally hurt our eardrums. People next to us said the same thing. Ive read other reviews of shows in the Carol Morsani hall that say the same thing about the acoustics. We wont be returning to see anything at the Carol Morsani hall because the acoustics are that bad. What a shame.

MOULIN ROUGE

Costumes, set, and talent are excellent. The story is ridiculous, trite, and simple. Is it a variety show or re-hash of known songs? A total disappointment unless you are ready to be dazzled by the set and costumes.
