Expect an announcement very soon.. even as soon as this weekend when it wins at the Oliviers.

How do you know this? Do you have a solid inside source?

I’ve heard this won’t be happening until mid 2027. Who knows what’ll happen but will be interesting to see if any kind of announcement made this early.

It’ll probably take 6 months to clean out all the glitter and confetti from the Al Hirschfeld once Moulin Rouge shutters.

Seems like something they would want open for the holidays

I've heard this as well, but not opening until Spring 2027. Does Moulin extend it's closing a few months?

I've only heard small snippets of a couple songs from this show thus far, and it sounds surprisingly good. It's been very hard to avoid most anything related to the musical since the fall, and the full cast album comes out this week, but I'd rather wait until NY gets a confirmed venue and first preview + opening dates. 

I can't make it out to London, so I'll just have to hope as much of the originals come over as possible.

Curious to see how they un-Rogue the front of the building.
