Moulin Rouge! the Musical announces new tour casting

The Moulin Rouge! the Musical world tour has revealed fresh casting.

The hit show is based on the much-loved turn-of-the-century film about a Parisian courtesan who falls in love with a writer. It starred Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman. At the 74th Academy Awards, it was nominated for eight Oscars, winning two.

First opening last year, the tour will return for three additional tour stops in England – Sunderland Empire (5 to 27 June), Liverpool Empire (2 July to 8 August), Theatre Royal Plymouth (20 August to 19 September) and Mayflower Southampton (24 September to 24 October).

The West End staging is simultaneously continuing its run at the Piccadilly Theatre.
