“And set designer Derek McLane has turned the inside of the Hirschfeld Theatre into a crystal-studded, heart-shaped, hopelessly romantic fantasyland.”
“In “Moulin Rouge,” life is beautiful, in a way reality never is.”
“With tongue in cheek and heart in hand, not to mention assorted other body parts splitting, contorting and can-canning up a storm, “Moulin Rouge” is a jukebox musical on steroids.”
“Who needs ecstasy when we've got Moulin Rouge!?”
