Moulin Rouge! The Musical aims to give back to the community and share the Bohemian Values espoused in the story by supporting emerging artists and creatives through arts education and workforce training and development. Moulin Rouge! The Musical honours the artist in all of us by celebrating creative expression across multiple disciplines.
By developing initiatives or partnering with charity organisations, we support the freedom for everyone to pursue their dreams to create a meaningful life for themselves and others.
We’re opening our doors to give anyone aspiring to a career in theatre a glimpse behind the curtain of Moulin Rouge! The Musical.
Starting in 2023, Get Technical! is an annual event that offers the chance to hear from members of the production’s backstage and technical teams, watch live on-stage demonstrations and learn more about what goes into the making of the West End’s leading musical Spectacular!
From wigs to wardrobe, sound to stage management, the event aims to motivate and inspire young people to consider a career in backstage positions in the performing arts industry. Attendees are shown how the different technical departments work together to create the production and be given a sneak peek of some of the stage secrets and magic behind the show.
Backstage and technical team members also share stories from their own career journeys and give tips for getting into the industry.
