Directed by Alex Timbers, Moulin Rouge! The Musical has a book by John Logan, choreography by Sonya Tayeh, and music supervision, orchestrations, and arrangements by Justin Levine. The score is primarily comprised of myriad pop hits heard in the 2001 Baz Luhrmann spectacle, plus new chart-toppers released since then.

On the other side of the pond, the Broadway production resumed performances at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre September 24. Tony winner Aaron Tveit returned to the role of Christian, joined by Natalie Mendoza as Satine.
