Moulin Rouge! Previews — Page 7

I’m in seat G1, same one I had for Kinky Boots, and it’ll be on the Windmill side. Hopefully this won’t have obstructions like you’ve mentioned - it’s the first row just after the cross-aisle in the lower mezzanine, house left...

I have that exact seat! Looking forward to hearing about the view from there!

"I've loved Tam Mutu since he was in Love Never Dies in London. He has such a wonderful voice - does he get any big songs?"

He has a number in Act 1 when he formally introduces himself to Satine (Rolling Stones), and one of favorite parts in Act 2 (the champ de elysee scene)."

Based on wikipedia, I assume you're referring to "Sympathy For The Devil/You Can't Always Get What You Want/Gimme Shelter" - is that correct? I'm trying to imagine his voice singing songs like those!

Funnily enough, I don’t think they were just able to chose the theatre they want from every broadway house.

erm- we’ll have the Majestic please. Bye Phantom.

The cast is giving it their all and the dancing and choreography are great but other than that I wanted to leave after the first 30 minutes. They have taken all the heart and emotion out of the movie and stuffed it full of songs that do nothing for the story. The megamix at the end really drives home that this is a Mamma Mia and nothing like the story from the movie Moulin Rouge. Hated nearly every minute of it. This is for drunk tourists to come to and clap and scream and talk through every number. If you like the art musical theatre than this is not for you."

I only saw it in Boston, but couldn't agree more.

Not really sure what you are going on about, since modern pop songs were in the movie. But that being said, the show looks terrible."

There's no comparison. The film had 20-30 modern pop songs in it, while the musical has 50-60. He makes a completely valid point.

Commenting that you hated a show, including this one, is perfectly fine. But if this is "terrible terrible" and could barely get through it (allegedly) but he liked the singing, dancing, sets, choreography and actors, then I'd hate to see what he thinks of a show where he didn't like any of it. And on top of that, reminding people how much you hated something on multiple threads. Something's off...just my hunch.
