Could someone please summarize the changes made between Boston and Broadway? Any song additions/cuts other than 'Shake It Out'?

Moulin Rouge changes for Broadway
Jun 5

My main issue with the book is that the story has lost its edge and sense of danger. In the film, the Moulin Rouge is this seedy, cutthroat environment, while in the stage version it's a space where all the courtesans/performers see themselves as a family and Satine is everyone's 'Mama'.
Somebody pointed out in the previews thread that the club in the show reminded them of the circus from 'The Greatest Showman', and I have to agree. It's

Moulin Rouge changes for Broadway

At his recent concert Aaron sang 'Your Song' and interestingly it was the film version with its bombastic orchestrations, which I find so much more epic than the subdued arrangement they used in the show.
I know that's no indication as to whether they decided to change that up in the show, but it sounded great.

Moulin Rouge Officially coming to Broadway June 2019

I agree, the prices are a bit too much. Having enjoyed the show in Boston, I was (and to be fair, still am) looking forward to seeing it again, but it's going to cost me a fortune if I want to sit in a similar seat, which was front mezzanine - it's now twice as expensive...
I do hope they make changes before it hits Broadway. Add some more sparkle to the Act 1 Finale (the visuals are cute, but I feel it needs to end with a bang/pyrotechnics, similar to the film), add The S

The Ballad of Sara Berry by Ryan Scott Oliver?
Only thing that comes to mind, and everything fits your description (except it's Sara, not Samantha)

Sets, choreography and lighting are award-worthy.
I feel the book needs A LOT of work. First act felt really short, and second act felt rushed.
Elephant Love Medley is the act one finale; great arrangement, very fitting new songs. They need a big effect for the last few moments of that song though, pyrotechnics or something.
Roxanne - major disappointment. It has no dramatic tension, it’s just Christian singing the entire song. The Duke doesn’t attack Satine in this number (du

While belting out that all the single ladies should put their hands up in the finale?
I’m intrigued to see what the dark twist on Christian’s character is going to be in the second act

But Ilol just wait and see it for myself next week. "
I’ll be there for the first preview. Still very excited, but my main concern now is them changing the plot and

Apparently they changed a lot in Act 2.
Also, 50% of the score has been replaced with other songs. I hope they kept The Show Must Go On.
And I find it slightly worrying that Alex Timbers wants the audience to leave on a high... it is a tragic love story after all.
I don’t want to leave the theatre crying my eyes out, but I hope the finale is not an upbeat song, like ‘Firework’ or something...

From the theatre's Facebook profile:
The @EmColonial box office, originally scheduled to open Monday, June 18, will now open for in-person purchases on Wednesday, June 27, following a 9:30 a.m. #BoxOffice opening event. #boston #bosarts #colonialtheatre #emersoncolonial @MoulinRougeBDWY
Doesn't sound great, I wonder what caused the delay on that front.
I think it's really bad they still haven't announced anything about cancellations. I understand they are still working things out, but there's no way the first preview will go ahead as scheduled.
Does anyone know if the cast is going to continue with tech tomorrow?

What happens in cases like this? Do they try to find other tickets for the affected audience or are we SOL?"
I've got a ticket for the 5th, and flying over from Europe for it.
I guess we're going to be contacted by box office when the producers reach a decision, and will be given an option of refu

It's a good thing they've extended, as they might have to cancel a few previews...
